~ Carey Mulligan Quote
I don't think that Ada has encountered many men before. I never had it in my head that she did, anyway. But when someone is thrust into your life and you see them every day, and you have to live with them, it's probably inevitable they will get on well with each other.
~ Carey Mulligan Quote

I love it when we're a family unit, I mean we've been sort of split up in various pieces, but when we are presented as the Bennetts, in that scene where we go to Netherfield where it is a Miss Bennett, a Miss Bennett, a Miss Bennett and a Mrs Bennett. I just like that we're all together.
~ Carey Mulligan Quote
I think Jena helped a lot because I have sort of leaned on her the whole summer basically, a) in my character and b) just because she is so much more experienced than I am. She kind of psyches me up for stuff and sort of helps me get in the giggly frame of mind.
~ Carey Mulligan Quote

The thing I noticed about it is that it seems to be really fast- moving. With a lot of costume dramas, you sit there and see a sweeping shot of a beautiful house, but it's like: 'What's happening with the story?' But this adaptation is all really quick. It's really cool.
~ Carey Mulligan Quote
God, it was terrifying, especially when I heard people like Charles Dance were in it. I couldn't really believe I was in a show with all these people. I remember just looking around, thinking, there's Alistair McGowan, and theres Johnny Vegas. A lot of them look like Dickens characters, they've got amazing faces.
~ Carey Mulligan Quote
When they ask Jarndyce if they can get married, he says no. Part of Ada is really still loyal to Jarndyce, because obviously he's looking after her and she's living with him, but part of her is so in love with Richard and she really does want to get married. It's horrible, though.
~ Carey Mulligan Quote

~ Carey Mulligan Quote
The only actor I had ever met in my life was Julian Fellowes, who came to do a talk at my school. I wrote to my headmistress explaining that I didn't want to go to university and wanted to get in touch with him. I knew it was a bit of a long shot, but I was desperate.
