I carry music in my head, so I don't need more. It drives me nuts that, in hotels or on boats, people seem to think you need music 24 hours a day.

It makes me feel resilient when you tackle different things.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

I'm so boring that press kind of leave me alone now. People will believe what they want to believe anyway.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

It sounds ideal, a sort of beach childhood. But it wasn't really. I didn't use the beach very much at all.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

I'm not someone who can lie o...

I'm not someone who can lie on a beach and do nothing. I am not sure what you are supposed to do, so I get bored. I prefer to have a purpose, such as going to Alaska to see orca whales.

If somebody says, "Oh, we're ...

If somebody says, "Oh, we're going to improvise!," I'm like, Oh, get me out of here.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

It's the idea that when you s...

It's the idea that when you say 'actress', people think of an airy, floaty, no-brain person, which of course you can't be if you are an actor. It is an unfortunate word, which is why, for a time, I hung on to 'actor', because it just seemed more workmanlike, you know, like you say 'woman doctor' not 'doctoress'.

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

If you only took on roles tha...

If you only took on roles that had the same qualities, then I suppose it might make a critic feel better, if he can see some kind of bedrock. Perhaps that's the old definition of a star, someone who's always going to come up with the same goods. But it intimates limitation to me and I don't want to think of the job like that.

My roots are still in Britain...

My roots are still in Britain, that's where I live, that's the place where I come from.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

For years, I never knowingly ...

For years, I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled, it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate, particularly to places which have amazing wildlife, such as Antarctica, India and Patagonia.

And there's no way I'm going to do Dame Edna.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

I like people to be surprised...

I like people to be surprised by the turn of events. I don't want things just to be pat and formulaic. If there's some sort of internal combustion in the character or a desire to change the way things are going, that makes for conflict, which is the essence of drama.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

I've never felt stigmatized in my profession, nor have I allowed myself to. I don't feel either male or female, I feel I am just me, and I should be able to do whatever I like.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

Somebody referred to me as a ...

Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn't have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

I don't necessarily wait for ...

I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

You can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

If I don't believe in a role,...

If I don't believe in a role, I can't pull it off.

Feminism was a dirty word for a while.

Miranda Richardson 35 quotes

The writing is the springboar...

The writing is the springboard for your intuitive stuff and then you see, maybe a colour of what you want to achieve. Then you bring in the technique you've learnt. But when you're on film, you're not always in control of that. That's what makes me believe in a kind of collective unconscious, a sort of experience you draw on.
