Laura Fraser Quotations

You don't put milk in chamomile tea - that's disgusting behavior! That's not right.

I suppose I'd always been attracted to commitment-phobes because some part of me felt unlovable. It was a lot easier to fall for a guy who I knew, on some level, wouldn't fall in love with me. There was nothing to risk. The real risk would be to finally be vulnerable to love.

I think I've played a lesbian about five times. The first one was with Helen Baxendale in a drama called 'The Investigator,' about the conditions lesbians had to live under in the army in Britain, which was based on a true story.

I've been a jealous person myself. I've been distrustful, convinced that somebody's having an affair with somebody else. If you believe it in your head, everything looks like a lie. When you're looking for it, you always see it - even the change of expression in their face.

Both of my parents had a change of career. My mum was a nurse, and now she's a college lecturer.

I found it hard being a full-time mum and take my hat off to anyone who can do it.

I'm not a long-term member of the 'Breaking Bad' family.

It does seem to produce more creative results when there are limitations. It's like in wartime with rations - people became more inventive with cooking.

Even as a kid, I would always imagine horrible circumstances in which I would find myself in my head, and imagine how I would feel, and act it out a bit for myself, because I was a bit of a freak like that. I love doing things like that, and I get a real buzz from it afterwards.

I expected it to be overwhelming and all-encompassing, but having a kid brings you into the world in a whole different way.

I have to admit I can be pretty high strung and tightly wound.

It's a very strange experience being on set of 'Breaking Bad;' you never know what's coming next for your character. I feel like I don't even know if I'm going to live through the next scene I'm in. It's exciting to work on.

All the guys on 'Breaking Bad' are really gentle and gorgeous creatures.

I've always been an actor, a lowly actor without power, so I've never been corrupted. I've never even directed.

It's mad what each generation vilifies. It's not necessarily to do with logic.

I think every mother feels that the best place for their child is with their mum, but you want things for yourself, too. So, you're either at work feeling guilty, or you are at home feeling frustrated.

I still have a fear of theater. I don't know if I will manage that. I used to do it. I developed a bit of a phobia. It's not a real phobia. I can go in and watch.

When I was 18, I couldn't wait to move away. I was like: 'If I ever have to come back here, I'll kill myself.' Glasgow seemed like failure and death to me back then, but not any more.

You learned that it was easy frighteningly easy to get lost in someone else's life accommodating him and stop being yourself. You learned to be wary about falling in love. And you learned that someone who loved you could stop loving you for some dark reason and even though that was bruising you were more resilient than you knew. Eventually you would get over it more or less.

It isn't such a bad thing to always know that someone on the other side of the world cares about you.

It's not that the grass is greener on the other side, it's that you can never be on both sides of the lawn at the same time.

London on your own actually seems more exotic than Egypt on a tour.

You can't regret a whole period in your life. . . . It's part of who you are, one of your stories.
