Claire Foy's Quotes

• When I got the audition for "Macbeth", it's awful to say it but I can see what leads her to do what she does. Her husband's destiny has been proclaimed and she says "You've got to meet it." Which women do all the time.
• [about her "Macbeth" co-star, James McAvoy] The funny thing is you would never ever ever think the man is this movie star. He's just so down to earth. He could turn round to me and go "Your accent is shocking!" I have to remind myself to actually stop looking at him.
• I am always so envious of people who do whatever they want.
• I've seen Pride and Prejudice (1995) about 4,000 times. I'm not joking: I know every single line.
• I wouldn't have been able to go to drama school when I was 19. I don't think I was even conscious of life... I was like a zombie. But when I finished uni' I just realized... just go and do it, stop being a knob.
