Helen Mirren

You write your life story by the choices you make. You never know if they have been a mistake. Those moments of decision are so difficult.

The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.

There's nothing sexy about doing a nude scene. It's rather uncomfortable. I like dressing up rather than dressing down.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

I don't like to get in front of people.
