Helena Bonham Carter Quotes

I do think imperfection is underrated Picture Quote #1

Be yourself. No one else can Picture Quote #1

There is no normality in life Picture Quote #1

His mouth is a no-go area. It’s like kissing the Berlin Wall Picture Quote #1

Well, at least I’m not too thin. I eat Picture Quote #1

I always feel better after a good scream Picture Quote #1

Am I a good example? Well, at least I’m not too thin. I eat Picture Quote #1

I remember I did think, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if Mr. Right moved in next door?’ Picture Quote #1

Tim also has enough confidence so that it always looks like a Tim Burton film, but it really is collaborative. You’re allowed to do it your way but of course he’s always going to choose his way Picture Quote #1

No matter how many modern parts I do, people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama. Fight Club is a studio pic, and I’ve done very few of those. I’ve got a feeling it’s going to change things for me Picture Quote #1

I loved doing all those costume dramas. I didn’t think, ‘Ooh I’ve got to avoid being typecast’ - you can’t ever be dictated to by what other people think. I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve still got a bit of a sado-masochistic streak in me, because if I’m not going to be restricted by corsets and covered in lace, then I still wind up wearing an ape-mask over my face. I do wonder how I get myself in these situations! Picture Quote #1

People have lots of misconceptions about me. My mum, who is half French and half Spanish, gets outraged when I’m called quintessentially English. I owe my looks to my mum-which was 90 percent of getting my first job. And, some people would argue, 90 percent of my entire career Picture Quote #1

People say, ‘You’re still breast-feeding, that’s so generous.’ Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It’s sort of like natural liposuction. I’d carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could Picture Quote #1

You become very angry and depressed that you keep getting offered only these exceedingly demure and repressed roles. They’re so not me. That’s why films like Fight Club were so important to me because I think I confounded certain stereotypes and limited perceptions of what I could do as an actress Picture Quote #1

But it’s often been the case, I’ve done so many countless small, independent films that really 3.2 people have seen, so you never know. You do it for the joy of the part and not necessarily expect anyone to see the final product Picture Quote #1

I was weird right from the start. It’s just that you can’t ever expect people to get you. And I do think that really did mess with my head, being well-known young, when you really don’t know who you are Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It feels like a rash. It suddenly seems like I’ve got a contagion of diseases, I mean awards. But it’s nice, it’s a nice feeling. It’s so weird, because I’m only 46. A lifetime Achievement award... it feels like ‘I’m not over yet’. I hope they’re not trying to say it’s time to stop. I’m only just getting the gist of it Picture Quote #1

I had never had any experience of autism before and I would come home and look at my son, Billy, who is now two, and be absolutely paranoid, particularly because he loves Thomas the Tank Engine, and lots of autys love Thomas. But he is not very good at pointing, and autistic children absolutely love pointing Picture Quote #1

I actually pointed my wand and it blew up! The power! The power was just like Angry Birds, but big [as] life Picture Quote #1

In any relationship, after the first year is over, you can’t help but want your own space Picture Quote #1

My mom being a psychotherapist, I’ve been brought up with that whole psychoanalytical terrain Picture Quote #1

It’s easy for me to go back to being a kid. You know how kids can be like savages before they get civilized? There’s that sadist quality. Y’know, like boys who like to pick apart an insect for the sake of it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Tim also has enough confidence so that it always looks like a Tim Burton film, but it really is collaborative. You’re allowed to do it your way but of course he’s always going to choose his way Picture Quote #1

Everyone seems to think I’m very ladylike. That I’m very cultured and intelligent. I drink alot of Diet Coke and belch. I’ve been known to use the F-word. I’ve told a few dirty jokes. I arm-wrestle Picture Quote #1

Usually I’m frustrated when I look at my films and I don’t believe that I’ve made a real transformation beyond my usual sets of gestures and expressions. I still have this nagging feeling that it’s me, that I didn’t create a unique character Picture Quote #1

It was a challenge to be able to create a character without being able to use one’s normal set of expressions. All the rubber and makeup attached to your face left you with only a modest range of facial movements Picture Quote #1

For me, acting is about getting away from myself. So to look at myself is the last thing I want Picture Quote #1
