Helena Bonham Carter's quotes
- I hate this image of me as a prim Edwardian. I want to shock everyone.
- I should get a few ribs taken out, because I'll be in a corset for the rest of my life.
- He's very cool. Whatever Johnny does, there's something cool about it. He's very hip. It's emotional and vulnerable, too, which makes it touching. [on her friend and colleague Johnny Depp]
- I'm drawn to emotionally damaged characters because there is more to unlock.
- [on being awarded the CBE] I am thrilled though not sure that I deserve it. I always thought my father deserved a medal for facing 25 years of chronic disability with quiet daily heroism so I am delighted to accept such a wonderful honor in his memory.
- Very early on you figure out that you put your self-esteem in the hands of strangers. There's a different commodity. There's the Helena Bonham Carter that everyone thinks they know, who really has nothing to do with me. But you just have to let that go.
- [on Johnny Depp] You know, the man's overstuffed with talent in every direction.
- Everyone always says you have to be strong and have a stiff upper lip, but it's okay to be fragile.
- You've got to take very small steps, and sometimes you won't know where to go next because you've lost yourself. There's a great quote I've stuck next to the kettle. It's from Alice [in Wonderland] : 'I can't explain myself ... because I'm not myself'.
- It's completely absurd that because we have boobs we're not treated the same as someone with a penis.
