Miranda Richardson - biography

“I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.”

“Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor’s trade.”

“But I hope that you walk around the corner and you get very surprised.”

“You can’t please all the people all the time.”

“And there’s no way I’m going to do Dame Edna.”

“It makes me feel resilient when you tackle different things.”

“It sounds ideal, a sort of beach childhood.  But it wasn’t really.  I didn’t use the beach very much at all.”

“Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn’t have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.”

“You can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.”
