Felicity Jones

As a child, I always liked dressing up and getting into character, and actors are lucky in being able to retain that playfulness, though we do seem to find it hard to grow up.

It can be very intense being an actor; it can be quite a small world. Then you speak to your friend who is a scientist and they have a completely different perspective.

When you're a young actor, there's this pressure to rush. But I hope to be doing this into my sixties and seventies, so I'd prefer to take my time.

Frequent and loud laughter is the characteristic of folly and ill manners.

I'm lucky that I have whatever I had that makes me have a successful career, if you will.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
