QUOTES BY Helen Mirren


You write your life story by the choices you make. You never know if they have been a mistake. Those moments of decision are so difficult.

I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.

The whole thing of clothes is insane. You can spend a dollar on a jacket in a thrift store. And you can spend a thousand dollars on a jacket in a shop. And if you saw those two jackets walking down the street, you probably wouldn't know which was which.

You can't control how other people see you or think of you. But you have to be comfortable with that.

The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.

I have never in my life found myself in a situation where I've stopped work and said, 'Thank God it's Friday.' But weekends are special even if your schedule is all over the place. Something tells you the weekend has arrived and you can indulge yourself a bit.

Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.

The great marriages are partnerships. It can't be a great marriage without being a partnership.

Actors are rogues and vagabonds. Or they ought to be.
