The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Olivia Colman
- My older brother, who was in the Army, now owns his own building company. My half-sister was a nurse and is now a psychotherapist.
- If I didn’t have children I might be more of a lush than I am. I like booze. I struggle with smoking. And I’m a big swearer. I’m trying to rein it in but I do think it’s a nice seasoning of language.
- I do sometimes wonder if people think, ‘Oh we’ll have her because she cries well.’ The odd thing is I don’t really know where it comes from. If the script is good, I find I can usually cry without too much trouble – in fact, the hard thing is trying to get me to stop. But I’m not really a crier in real life. I’m not a dramatic person, you see.
- You can over-think things. If the script’s good, everything you need is in there. I just try and feel it and do it honestly. I also don’t learn things for auditions, because I feel like it’s just a test of memorising rather than being real.
- I don’t have a process; I just feel it. My book on acting would be very short.
- I eat a bit too much; my teeth aren’t perfect; I’ve got eye bags. I look like a normal 39-year-old woman – but in England, no one minds that.
- If the script’s good, everything you need is in there. I just try and feel it, and do it honestly. I also don’t learn things for auditions, because I feel like it’s just a test of memorizing rather than being real. Maybe every other actor would think that was terrible, I don’t know. But it seems to have worked for me, so far.
- I did a forward roll for the kids the other day, thinking it’d be a breeze like it was when I was six, and I had to lie flat for about 20 minutes afterwards – ‘Leave mummy alone; she’s feeling a bit dizzy.’
- I had a lovely, feral, free childhood – out and then come back when you’re hungry or it gets too dark. I feel slightly cruel that I’m not offering my children the same.
- I want everyone to know what they deserve in relationships: that they can demand equality and kindness. Because everyone will have a relationship at some point in their life. It’s what we all do, every day, and we need to know how to do it.
