Felicity Jones's Quotes

• I would love to play a ... [drifts off for a second, and laughs] I was thinking I'd like to play a snake. But no, not a snake. I'd like to play a superhero, something very different. I think the main trap not to fall into as an actress is not to play the love interest too much. You have to make sure that there's a character there, something to get your teeth into; otherwise there's no point doing it.
• When you're a young actor, there's this pressure to rush. But I hope to be doing this into my sixties and seventies, so I'd prefer to take my time. There's so much of a desire in the entertainment industry for newness, a desire to build somebody up and then treat them as old news within six months. I think you'd be naive if you didn't try to hold on to your own way of doing things.
• [on her Like Crazy (2011) character] I like playing someone who wasn't cautious, who was in the moment and made impulsive decisions, which is what attracted me to her in the first place. I think you're attracted to things that are different from yourself in a character because it's more interesting, and you get to play out a fantasy version of yourself.
• The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person.
• You have to take risks. I realized in doing Like Crazy (2011), if you don't take risks, a true risk, then you're never going to produce something interesting. The risk is of being exposed. I've never done something where I've had to trust the director so completely.
