Emily Blunt
The more we mask ourselves, the freer we're able to be within ourselves.Collection: Able
To not make any resolutions. Whenever I make them, I wind up ultimately breaking them. I think a lot of people are that way, so I am going to try and avoid inevitable disappointment next year and just not make any.Collection: Disappointment
It's always better just to do work that you're really proud of and work that you enjoy because really all you have are the choices you make and that's it and who knows after that. I think that's what I love in acting.Collection: Thinking
I love ambiguity. People are that way. People are very hard to work out. No one is just strong or just fragile, or anything like that.Collection: Strong
It's nerve-wracking singing in front of people. I think that's why most people get drunk for karaoke.Collection: Thinking
My personal feeling is that audiences are crying out for stories they can invest in and feel. I see a lot of big movies that leave me feeling rather numb.Collection: Feelings
I was never a girl that dreamt of being a princess and I never dreamt about my wedding day. I hated pink and I hated fairies. I only liked hanging out with boys. I remember throwing a tantrum if my mum put me in pink. I wasn't a particularly girly girl.Collection: Girl
I've always been quite a spontaneous person, so I would lean more towards, if you feel it and you know its right, then do it.Collection: Spontaneous
Things happen in the way they usually should. I'm a pretty fatalistic person.Collection: Way
I think a lot of people want to, at some point in their life, be someone else, run away and escape, in some way. We actors do get to do it. We have a job that allows for that. We have an outlet for it.Collection: Running
My objective is that I don't try to do the same thing. I try not to emulate something I've done before. And, I'm a real people watcher, so I like trying to play characters that are as diverse from each other as possible, simply because it's more fun for me, actually.Collection: Fun
I'm with someone who makes me incredibly happy. I'm not one of those people who subscribes to the idea that marriage takes the romance out of things. I think it gets better, it deepens. I love being a wife. We have a blast.Collection: Love Is
I don't think I'm the best singer in the world, for sure, but I loved doing it in 'Into the Woods.' I'll always find it tough, singing in front of people.Collection: Thinking
I love character roles. I'm happier in them. I look for roles that have some kind of complexity.Collection: Character
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.Collection: Trying
When I read a script, I'll have a very visceral gut reaction to what does this mean to me? How does she feel in my skin? Could I play this role?Collection: Mean
As long as everyone is playing for the scene or the movie, rather than themselves, then you're going to have something really good.Collection: Long
I almost broke my coccyx on 'The Wolf Man,' and I banged my head once. I had to fall really hard.Collection: Fall
I think a shot can actually influence a scene in a huge way. For example, comedy is always better in a two-shot. What's between the characters is what's funny. So you learn about these things as you go along.Collection: Character
I find that it really helps that I live in the States. I'm married to an American, and I have lots of American friends.Collection: Helping
What's wonderful about Into The Woods is that you have a combination of all the most famous fairytales in this one story.Collection: Stories
Cate's absolutely spellbinding. She was like that just eating a sandwich. I knew at the time I was privileged, but since she's become God's gift to actresses I realise exactly how lucky I was.Collection: Actresses
I really asked myself, “Oh, my god, how am I going to do this?” That’s what I aspire to, every time I take on a new role.Collection: Roles
I do try hard to pick roles that differ. I love that about the job. I think the variety that's out there is to be taken advantage of and I enjoy that element of shape shifting with everything.Collection: Jobs
You shouldn't strategize your career if you're in a creative realm. You can't either. I love the unknown. I love the element of surprise. I've always felt really inspired by it. I love the spontaneity of the job. I think you can't really fight against it.Collection: Jobs
I chop a lot of onions because I love cooking, and the times where I've never cried chopping onions is when I'm not thinking about it, when I'm talking to someone or I'm listening to music.Collection: Thinking
I find it very strange doing voiceover stuff, because you find you have to enunciate and make stupid faces in order for the point to make sense, because it's playing against the deadpan Simpson face. If you're just speaking in the regular way you speak, it will sound really boring.Collection: Stupid
Well, you wear underwear. That helps.Collection: Underwear
It's nice to play someone who is naive.Collection: Nice
I'm definitely not a science nerd. That was not my forte at school.Collection: School
I think that's almost what it is sometimes if you sum up what acting is. It's just the ultimate expression of empathy.Collection: Thinking
My objective is that I don’t try to do the same thing. I try not to emulate something I’ve done before. And, I’m a real people watcher, so I like trying to play characters that are as diverse from each other as possible, simply because it’s more fun for me, actually.Collection: Fun
It’s very hard to play the straight lead girl and still make her sparkly and fun and real.Collection: Fun
What’s wonderful about Into The Woods is that you have a combination of all the most famous fairytales in this one story.Collection: Stories
I’m a big supporter of Joe Johnston and I think that ‘Captain America’ is going to be really fun and I gather that the story is really interesting. It just wasn’t what I wanted to do next, to be honest.Collection: Fun
