Natascha McElhone Quotes

I’ve always looked old for my age Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I wasn’t allowed dolls, and my brothers weren’t allowed guns. I inherited my brothers’ clothes. I was never dressed in pink, and they were never dressed in blue; there were none of those rules that people still bizarrely subscribe to Picture Quote #1

I always keep myself busy. I’m writing. Or I’m creating something. Or I’m doing stuff with the kids. I’m up incredibly early in the morning; I go to bed incredibly late at night Picture Quote #1

Some actors are like flowers basking in the sun - they love the attention, and the fans get what they want. With me it’s different. I know the fans aren’t getting what they want. And I’m certainly not getting what I want Picture Quote #1

Death is final. No it is not just final, it’s worse than that, it’s diminishing: the dead continue to decrease, to occupy less space Picture Quote #1

I was brought up by a Marxist rationalist stepfather, so I don’t believe in the supernatural or religion or horoscopes, and the absolute nature of death is quite helpful for me. My husband was there, then he wasn’t Picture Quote #1

Mum left school at 15, and after a few years of modelling and dating jazz musicians, was married by 21 to my father, Mike Taylor, a journalist on the ‘Daily Mirror.’ They had my brother and me pretty quickly and had split up by the time I was two. I don’t really have any memories of them as a couple Picture Quote #1

I think the difference between finding happiness, or moments of happiness, is how you choose to interpret things. That’s a rather shocking responsibility. That we’re responsible for our own happiness. It’s not those around us Picture Quote #1

My granny was very concerned that we weren’t baptised - Mum had been desperate to escape her own Catholic upbringing. But Granny thought we were blighted. Whenever we turned up at her house, she would flick holy water - from the font she kept by the door - over us, in the hope that it would save us from damnation Picture Quote #1

Living with very limited expectations is a much more immediate way of living. You really do just make the best of everything you have. I guess kids have that ability; they wait in joyful anticipation of something rather than that sense of entitlement Picture Quote #1

I first met my husband when I was 15. He was very cool, in a band, all that kind of thing, but he took a long time to grow up. Our paths crossed again 10 years later, and after about two weeks I knew that was it. I’m glad I met him when I did, even though I was fairly young. Because I think sometimes you can crystallise into singledom Picture Quote #1

In terms of ‘Solaris,’ I didn’t really think about the religious aspect an awful lot. There’s one scene at a dinner party, and it’s discussed, but it wasn’t an overwhelming theme for me Picture Quote #1

I’m very different to my mum. I’m not as beautiful as she is, nor - she probably despairs about this - as groomed. I certainly rebelled against her idea of looking well turned-out. I spent several years with a shaved head in jeans and baggy shirts Picture Quote #1

I play Nitin Sawhney’s ‘Letting Go’ repeatedly, nonstop. I find it transformative. I’m so glad iPods were invented so I didn’t have to drive everyone around me mad with the repetition Picture Quote #1

Scribbling things down is my therapy. I filter later Picture Quote #1

I happen to find motherhood a very natural state, but I know a lot of other people don’t Picture Quote #1

I always keep myself busy. I’m writing. Or I’m creating something. Or I’m doing stuff with the kids. I’m up incredibly early in the morning; I go to bed incredibly late at night Picture Quote #1

I think it’s incumbent on actresses to bring something else to the part which isn’t in the script Picture Quote #1

I have a massive divide between being a competent human being and being completely hopeless, when it comes to logic Picture Quote #1
