Helen McCrory People Quotations

You don't learn from good people - they've found what works for them and are completely original; you learn from the people who are bad. You think: 'Oh dear, I'm not going to do that.'

I love live performance and have huge admiration for people who can really do it. It's the same with music: I'll play a record and think that I'm not really into country or ragga. But, if it's live and the musicians are good, I'll listen to pretty much anything.

Childhood has definitely been invented, hasn't it? I think that's because people had children later, and we appreciate and cherish childhood a lot more.

So often when you meet child actors, they're weird - they're freaks. No, I mean it, they're really odd people.

People are not considerate of others. They tend not to consider themselves as all living together, but see themselves only as individuals.

I've often sat down with people talking about a film I've been in, and they haven't realised I was in it.

I think it's very important not to grow up with the unhealthy amount of attention that is sometimes put on people because they are 'actors'.

It's what people create that makes my heart stop.
