There is no normality in life.

My father fell really chronically ill when I was 13 and that's when I phoned up an agent and started to act.

Falling in love with him was completely unexpected. When you only see someone as a friend, you don’t expect anything else. There was definitely a moment when something quite magical happened and we both agree that it transformed our relationship.

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.

I actually pointed my wand and it blew up! The power! The power was just like Angry Birds, but big [as] life.

I think smells, like sounds, can be so much immediately affecting.

With the number of people I ignore, I'm lucky I work at all in this town.
