Quotes

“Acting is playing, and it is like being a big kid. Yeah, it’s great. You get paid.”

— Olivia Colman

“I was always pretty ambitious, although it probably helps that I can’t do anything else – apart from cleaning lavatories. But I remember my mum once said, ‘I suppose you’ll give it a year and see if you can make it as an actress?’ And I said, ‘No Mum, I think I’ll give it 10.'”

— Olivia Colman

“As a child, I thought, ‘Once I am a grown-up, there will be no more fear, no more worries,’ and it turns out that’s not true.”

— Olivia Colman

“I don’t think you can cry if the script is rubbish. I have to feel it; it’s as simple as that. It’s just like if you’re watching something moving, and you feel yourself welling up. It’s the same thing. You’re just being carried along with the story. There’s nothing magical about it. I think I’m in touch with my emotions, and I can’t help it.”

— Olivia Colman

“If something touches me, I cry. That’s it. I’m a bit raw, a bit rubbish, really. Often, a director will say to me, ‘I don’t think this is a scene where your character cries.’ And all I can say is, good luck with that!”
