Andrea Riseborough

Sometimes I can think of nothing more blissful than going to Berkeley and reading Byron for three years.

I subscribe to no religion. But I believe that in the creation of art, there can be moments of God.

Sometimes you need to break away from something in order to know how much you need or want it.

I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.
