Imelda Staunton's quotes

I go up for a job, someone else gets it, what can I do about that? That might be in another league to me, people being competitive. But it's not like running a race. I'm not against anyone. I think that's a much more American thing, that.
We're all unique as actors. To yourself, you are unique, you have to think, "I'm me, I'm not going to bunch myself with other people". Agents and producers have to get you into a box, to accommodate their limited imaginations.
[on her view about abortion, something she's been asked a lot after her role in Vera Drake (2004)] I'm not Susan Sarandon. I don't want to bang a drum. I think I'm just going to say, "I'm pro-choice" and leave it at that.
I am a character actress, well, let's say, I am a leading character actress who does interesting, odd parts.
You know you can be very famous without being a great actress, and that's not good for me.
[what she thinks about celebrities getting free gifts at award shows] It's obscene, isn't it? Just ridiculous. We don't need any of these things! Give it to people who need it. I'll never have to buy moisturizer again. I might start eating it soon.
All my heroes-Timothy Spall, Lesley Manville--are just so brilliant. And I thought, "Well, I'm not in that league".
As Vera Drake, I feel Mike [director Mike Leigh] has used all of me as a dramatic actress, in a positive sense.
As you well know, we don't have a script when we're shooting. But after the film, the screenplay gets published and you can read the whole thing.
Agents and producers have to get you into a box to accommodate their limited imaginations.
