Helen Mirren

I'm an actress, not a star. Stars are in the sky. I'm a human being.

The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.

I don't believe in the idea of a 'guilty pleasure.' If you enjoy something, you enjoy it. There's no guilt in that.

I've always been a bit of a rebel, and I've always been a bit of a feminist.

The older I get, the more I realize that the only thing that matters is love.

I'm not afraid of getting older. I'm afraid of not living.

I think it's very important to be able to laugh at yourself.

I've always been drawn to strong women. I think they're fascinating.

I think it's important to be open to new experiences, even if they're a little scary.

I've always been a bit of a perfectionist, but I've learned to let go of that a little bit.

I think it's important to be kind to yourself, and to others.

I've always been a bit of a dreamer, and I think that's a good thing.

I think it's important to find joy in the little things in life.

I've always been a bit of a risk-taker, and I think that's helped me in my career.

I think it's important to be true to yourself, even if it's not always easy.

I've always been a bit of a fighter, and I think that's helped me to overcome challenges.

I think it's important to never stop learning, and to always be curious.

I've always been a bit of a free spirit, and I think that's a good thing.

I think it's important to embrace your individuality, and to celebrate what makes you unique.

I've always been a bit of a rebel, and I think that's helped me to challenge the status quo.
