~ Olivia Williams Quote
When we first met he (Rhashan) began a sentence, 'Would you like to...', and I accepted the invitation before he got to the verb.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
When the Hollywood thing happened, I thought at some point I'd get to the front of the queue: "Yes, hello, I'd like to play that role." But you don't. You just join a different queue.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
Married to James Coburn and shagging Andy Garcia - how bad can life be? I'll take it!
~ Olivia Williams Quote
There's this absurd situation on a movie set where your trailer's here and the set is here and the lunch tent is here, and you're not allowed to get yourself from these three places.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
The way I miss my daughter Esmé is to worry about her. It is not a pleasurable longing. It contorts my body and scrambles my brain, makes me stop breathing, clench my jaw and my fists, it makes me frown, and makes me blind and deaf, in fact entirely without sensory perception.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
I have managed to earn money doing what I love. Most people have to earn money then do what they love if there's any time left over. In that sense I feel like an immoral success story.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
Family holidays and weekends are really brightly coloured memories, full of my mother and father, rather than our nannies and au pairs.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
My father was very ill a couple of years ago and his body gave out on him for a while. When they wheeled him out of heart surgery I thought, my body works. My skin may have wrinkles but it's because I'm smiling so much. That might sound like some terrible American greetings card, but I feel it's immoral for me to castigate my body for getting older, when it does everything I ask of it.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
I didn't know box office was a thing you could possess but I don't have it. I go up for lovely roles and people with this nebulous thing called box office get them so there isn't much I can do about that unless you know where I can get some box-office myself!
~ Olivia Williams Quote
There is quite a bit of Madeleine in me, in that I'm impatient with people who refuse to behave in a way that's appropriate to the situation. I think that people who behave histrionically when they shouldn't should learn to restrain themselves.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
Something about English accents lends itself to sinister organisations.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
It was utterly surreal. It was like being kidnapped by aliens in many ways.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
I don't feel under pressure to work because I love what I do and I wanted to do the projects that came my way.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
The rehearsal process for stage is hugely rewarding, and the extraordinary high of three hours' concentrated performance culminating in applause and a large drink is very addictive. Film acting is more zen; you take pleasure in the three-minute take in which you feel your feet may have just left the ground rather than the space travel of theatre.
~ Olivia Williams Quote
