Joely Richardson Net Worth

Joely Richardson's Quotes

• I live quite an unsettled life.
• I care so much less, now, about going up the ladder; if I cared about the ladder I would be doing it all very wrong.
• Everyone knows in the industry that when these great roles come up, every two years, there's a huge number of people up for them. I'm not one of those top five females that can personally finance any film.
• Seize the day. Well, I aspire to that anyway.
• OK, I wasn't as successful as, say, Julia Roberts, but I'd spent years in a very respectable career, some big American films but a host of other smaller, really exciting, maybe experimental films, being paid rubbish but working with fine people, that was what I thought I was known for.
