Famous quotes by Joely Richardson:

"all the characters are just so extreme, going through extreme situations and emotions every episode."

"You get a little bit jaded even on this show, in that you think 'I don't know if I can be surprised anymore,'"

"You grow up by making mistakes. I've made a ton of them, but as long as I keep on failing better, I don't mind."

"I think work really is a life saver, because it carries you forward, which is good."

"The early part of my career I really struggled, getting turned down again and again. I was in debt, and it was horrible. And then my family hit such highs in their careers, I asked myself what I was thinking going into the same profession."

"Everyone knows in the industry that when these great roles come up, every two years, there's a huge number of people up for them. I'm not one of those top five females that can personally finance any film."

"Seize the day. Well, I aspire to that anyway."

"To newspapers and publishing houses I urge the use of fact over fiction, freedom of the press, and responsibility at all times."

"The highest pay cheque my mother ever received funded the building of a nursery school in Shepherd's Bush - the school cost well over three times the money she donated to the making of the film 'The Palestinian.' Unsurprisingly this always goes unmentioned in the press."

"OK, I wasn't as successful as, say, Julia Roberts, but I'd spent years in a very respectable career, some big American films but a host of other smaller, really exciting, maybe experimental films, being paid rubbish but working with fine people, that was what I thought I was known for."

"My mother, for the last 20 years anyway, would not call herself a Marxist but a human rights activist."

"It's very difficult when there are pictures taken on the red carpet. I find those things so terrifying that another persona just kicks in. I don't recognise myself."

"I care so much less, now, about going up the ladder; if I cared about the ladder I would be doing it all very wrong."

"I'd love to adopt, but having a daughter, Daisy, who's in the middle of her teens, I'm now thinking: Is this a time to start all over again or is this a time to realise those child-rearing years are over?"

"So finally, I can feel a sort of pride in all my family - Mum, Lynn, Corin, Tasha, my cousin Gemma - because, I think how wonderful that this troop of gypsies can carry on telling stories."

"I live quite an unsettled life."

"When I very first started out, I had that arrogance of youth."

"So often people say something and you realise you haven't really heard it."

"There's still a bit of a problem, in that so many leading English roles are taken by American or French actresses."
