~ Hayley Atwell Quote
There's a feeling here that ambition is a good thing, and in England it's better if you are modest and self-deprecating. I can see both aspects in me. So here I feel like I am too reserved and sometimes in England I feel like I am not reserved enough.
~ Hayley Atwell Quote
Being new, you can only go on feedback, so at first I was terrified. In a way, it demystified the process for me. I wasn't dependent on praise; praise tends to fuel insecurity because you come to depend on it. But when it's earned, you feel it more.
~ Hayley Atwell Quote
It did fall into my lap and it was very spontaneous. I guess that this was a big chance for me. But you can be given a chance and really blow it. I just had to make sure I didn't.
~ Hayley Atwell Quote
I don't remember a time when I wasn't thinking about it, or I don't remember a time when I thought I wouldn't be doing it. And so when I was younger, all my focus and my thoughts and energy went into watching great stories being told, either live or on film.
~ Hayley Atwell Quote
I think an important part of being an actor is within the work leaving yourself always available and open to explore something different and to live in the question of something and not to define your character ever, let alone early on in what you're doing, but just play and see what happens.
~ Hayley Atwell Quote
There's a fear that as you accumulate more of a profile, you expose yourself to the possibility of negative reactions. It's just the politics of the playground though, isn't it, and I've weathered those. And anyway, someone new will soon be coming up behind me. Some other girl fresh out of drama school is already lining up to get all the parts.
~ Hayley Atwell Quote
It's much more immediate and raw, and also terrifying. It feels like a church. There's something very holy about it. With very little you can create an imaginary world and transport to an audience without any tricks or special effects. All lies in the power of you and other people connecting.
~ Hayley Atwell Quote
I look for something that I find is impossible for me to do but something that I find interests me, something that I would like to go to see myself and do something different that I've never seen before. Or it might just be something specific within the script or people even that are involved in it.
~ Hayley Atwell Quote
I was born with a lot of nervous energy. I'd write letters to my future self - 'Dear Hayley, now that you are 18 have you written your first novel yet? Have you made your first film?' I had an obsession with my future. I stayed in reading when friends partied.
