I Was Like One Of Those Nauseatingly

Very Early On, You Figure Out That You Put Your Self Esteem In The Hands Of Strangers. There's A Different Commodity. There's The Helena Bonham Carter That Everyone Thinks They Know, Who Really Has Nothing To Do With Me. But You Just Have To Let That Go.

I'm Suffering From Stage Fright. I Don't Like Making Speeches. [...] I'm The Kind Of Introvert Actor Who Likes Putting On Other People's Clothes And Pretending To Be Somebody Else, Which Is Completely Crazy Choice Of Profession. So, I Don't Enjoy Public Speaking And I Have Every Sympathy For Anyone Who Has To Do It And Doesn't Enjoy It.

On Corsets: I Said, You Have Got To Be Kidding. I Am An Ape And Yet I Am Still Expected To Squeeze Myself Into One Of Those Damn Things.

A Film Actor Is Just A Victim Of Directors And Editors.

I Also Get Fed Up With The Fact That Casting Agents And Directors Have This Impression Of Me As Being Frail And Petite. I Find It Very Patronizing. I'm Quite Beefy And Strong. I Was A Gymnast In School And I Have Lots Of Muscles.
