Helen Mirren Quotes:
  • "I'm lucky with the culture I come from. There isn't the definition there is in America where you're either a film actress or a TV actress or a stage actress...I've literally done film, television and theater -- and on a pretty substantial level. I don't think that's possible for American actors to do that."
  • "The trick in life is learning how to deal with it."
  • "Actors are rogues and vagabonds. Or they ought to be. I can't stand it when they behave like solicitors from Penge."I'm a would-be rebel. The good girl who'd like to be a bad one."
  • "All you have to do is to look like crap on film and everyone thinks you're a brilliant actress. Actually, all you've done is look like crap."
