Emily Blunt Thinking Quotations

I think I'm drawn to characters with complexity or who are under duress in some way and have some conflict going on.

I think for me the job always has to be the right thing at the right time.

I think it is nice for people to appreciate a slow-burning, beautiful story that makes you feel good when it is over.

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.

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.

It's nerve-wracking singing in front of people. I think that's why most people get drunk for karaoke.

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.

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.

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.

I always think that the most interesting characters are those that are trying to cover something or those that have some sense of bravado or composure.

It's sort of a meat market, the whole awards thing, and I don't think you can predict it anymore - who's going to like what you've done, if it's worthy or not. And hopefully, that's not why you make a film, because if you're distracted by that, or only striving for that, you don't do it justice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
