Emily Blunt's quotes

  • I'd love to be exciting and say that I was the rebel at school, but sadly I wasn't.
  • (On her manipulative character in My Summer of Love (2004)) "Whether they like to admit it or not, everyone's got a bit of "Tamsin" in them".
  • (On being an actress) "You feel very much like a puppet, but it had been what I was accustomed to - so you just get on with it and try to find something that rings true."
  • (On why she is often cast as the bad-girl) "I have sly eyes. When I was in school they always said, 'Emily can never be elected Head Girl because you never know what she's thinking."
  • (On Susan Sarandon) "She's just a force of nature. Amazing to work with. We just had such a laugh. And, she's frighteningly smart".
  • (On her childhood) "My head was occupied all the time. I was confused about what I wanted to do or who I was; I didn't really feel I had an identity growing up."
  • I couldn't talk as a kid because I stammered all the time, so I would just watch. I'm fascinated by human behavior. People surprise me all the time. And I love being able to morph into different characters.
  • I think it's embarrassing to hear people talk about their process because you always sound a bit wanky. You always imagine people are reading the article going: 'Oh, get a real job.'
  • It's not like people say, "Oh my Gosh, are you Emily Blunt?" It's more like "Are you the girl in The Devil Wears Prada (2006)?". I'm defined by it and that's okay.
  • [on her parents, enthusiastic gardeners]: I've never shoveled mud before, but I should.
  • I just love the whole story of having faith in ludicrous ideas. Each character from Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011) is on a real journey and at the end of the film, you see all their journeys collide and it's just magical.
  • I'm a freak for cooking shows. If I'm home on a Saturday, I can watch the Food Network all day. just thinking about it, I'm getting all giddy!
  • [Tom Cruise] He's got that magnetism and charisma of the old school Hollywood stars. He really knows acting. He knows what he's doing.
  • [Tom Cruise] People go absolutely crazy for him. He genuinely loves people. He loves meeting them. He wants to connect with them even if it's hundreds of thousands. He'd be on there for hours if he could.
  • He is someone willing to take risks which is unusual for an actor of that magnitude. I think the older they get, the safer they get. Tom (Cruise) is the opposite - a force of nature.
  • [Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman] Heaven, adventurous, spontaneous.
  • [Tom Cruise] He's willing to discover that whole bag of tricks. He's a character actor.
  • [after her competitor Anne Hathaway's first performance on Lip Sync Battle] I'm not concerned. I thought it was cheap to have done all that stuff. It's easy.
  • I live to give.
  • [she and Tom Cruise at one of three film premieres for Edge of Tomorrow all in one day] We like doing premieres this way. It's much more fun.
  • [Edge of Tomorrow] We hope you love the movie. We loved making it so much. We made it for you guys. We make to entertain you and to give you the best ride ever and I'm thrilled you're going to see it finally.
  • [to Tom Cruise at a premiere for Edge of Tomorrow] You're the Chatty Cathy.
