Famous quotes by Lena Headey:

"The Brothers Grimm is a work of fantasy by one of the true visionary filmmakers working today, whereas The Cave is just one big silly, scary action movie."

"I was jealous the whole way through."

"He's the guy, the creature guy."

"He'd lift it up to look at you and talk to you, ... He was like a scary horse."

"He'd knock over bits of the set because he couldn't really see, ... He had the 8-pound head on."

"Working in film lets me travel, which is one of my passions. I like to visit remote places and see real people."

"I went out with a friend to a lesbian bar, and I flirted my (butt) off. It was such a great night. It was so freeing and such fun. I noticed that everyone there was so open and kind. There are no boundaries."

"European legends have sad endings."

"It was just very noticeable how tight they were. They just enjoyed each other. They had a really cool friendship going on, and yeah, hung out 24/7."

"There's nothing more exciting for an actor than a chance to lose, to be someone who has lost - especially if it's someone who starts off with a veneer of control. To be broken is wonderful."

"I have an internal protectiveness where it's like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like, It could happen and I'm okay, I'm prepared."

"I hate being looked at. Can't stand it. I know, I know - I picked the wrong career. I should have been a doctor. If you play certain parts you have this nice face painted on you, and then you have feel as if you have a responsibility to this idea of being beautiful. I hate that about our business."

"I'm 40 next year and I'm very well aware that where I am now, it becomes a bit of a wilderness for actresses."

"I've never directed before, so I need to make sure that people know that I can. The movie that I've written, 'The Sophisticates,' is a... small ensemble comedy and I hope it's charming and funny."

"There's a perceived inverse relation between looks and talent. Look at Charlize Theron - she made herself ugly for 'Monster' and suddenly everyone said 'she's a genius.' It shouldn't be like that."

"'Lost Boys' is one of my all-time faves. I just thought it would be great to be a vampire. I remember this movie called 'Once Bitten,' which is about an '80s sort of power girl who became a vampire and was really, like, sexy. Hair like she was from 'Dallas,' shoulder pads, big earrings."

"With fantasy and sci-fi, it's based in a real fandom. You're presenting to experts, and their source material is really important to them. They'll come up and ask: 'so when you turned your head slightly in that scene, what were you thinking?'"

"Since being quite young, I've had a very strong sense of independence and survival. As a child, I was on my own two feet emotionally."
