Helena Bonham Carter

In any relationship, after the first year is over, you can't help but want your own space.

I would pretend to be the French lieutenant's woman. I was always a romantic. I still am, actually.

I was sad that Corpse Bride was so short. I would've liked to have had her around for way longer. She doesn't actually have that many scenes.

It didn't matter what you look like. You don't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning and there's a lot to be said for that. Corpse Bride can just play all my parts from now on and I'll just do the voice.

She looks like a warrior. I mean, Bellatrix does mean warrior. And she's also a bit of a fatale. She's the right hand of Voldemort, and the only woman death eater.

Famous people come up to me, but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.

The parenting bit is much harder than the acting bit. You just never know what to do.

Why do we put our self esteem in the hands of complete strangers?

Imperfection is underrated. Perfection is overrated.

I do think imperfection is underrated

I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.

It took me ages to grow into being a woman, into being happy with it.
