I am very tall, and when you're a teenager, you want to be like everyone else. I used to slump a lot; it's very human at that stage to want to be part of the crowd and not want any part of you that is sticking out. Elizabeth Debicki crowdhumanlot share on social
I loved Catherine Deneuve, Sophia Loren, and Ursula Andress. They had an incredible strength but fragility at the same time, especially Catherine Deneuve, who had an aloofness that impressed me. Elizabeth Debicki aloofnessandresscatherine Change image and share on social
There is something about a theatre room that is really like a laboratory for trying things and failing, because you have time to do that, and you can explore something deeply and discard it if it's not working. Elizabeth Debicki deeplydiscardexplore share on social
It often happens that you leave your house in the dark, shoot on a sound stage without natural lighting, and then go home in the dark. A whole week can go past, and it can feel like 12 hours. Elizabeth Debicki darkfeelhome Change image and share on social
Acting is a craft to me: I just think you get better the more you do it. And then the irony to that is your doing it is not in your control.

It was quite a thespian - 'thespy' - sort of household. My mum had a dance school, and my dad now works in a theatre, so I spent a lot of time going to see dance as a young child - it was just a part of who we were. Elizabeth Debicki childdaddance share on social
I have a sense of Europe also being like home. I mean, Australia is my home, and my heart is there, but I suppose I've always felt close to Europe, given we had family there, and we would visit. Elizabeth Debicki australiacloseeurope Change image and share on social
