“I feel a great sense of pride and joy knowing that I played a part in bringing into the world more beauty and excitement.” Quote by Gary Catona
“It's one point to build a singing voice, but giving someone his or her own voice back is something else all together different. Imagine not being able to communicate with your voice and then having it back! It's truly a mind-blowing experience to hear that happen.” GivingDifferentTogetherImagineSingingCommunicate Author:Gary Catona
“As an actor, you're just taking temperature. I am anyway, all the time, and responding appropriately. I was again cast very last-minute for Rushmore and met Wes Anderson, this quite physically and socially awkward man who didn't really talk to me much, a precocious and intelligent young boy. And Bill Murray. And we were sort of left in this bizarre hotel together and taken to strange locations around Houston. That was quite an isolating experience.” MenTogetherBoysTakenStrangeIntelligentHotelAwkwardBizarreTalk To Me Author:Olivia Williams
“I am the worst judge of how a movie is going to do. I always have great and ambitious hopes, but none of them see the light of day.” WorstJudgingAmbitious Author:Olivia Williams
“I loved Rushmore. I loved the script. I mean, that is what drew me to it, just the actual piece of literature the script is. But I never thought in a million years that anyone would see it or respond to it. It was an absolute joy that it was so loved and continues to be. The same with The Sixth Sense. I thought, "No one's going to watch this. Bruce Willis hasn't got a gun. There's no shagging. Lovely story, sweet and profound about loss and death, but no one's going to watch this."” MeanJoyLiteratureLossSweetGunProfoundLovelySixth Sense Author:Olivia Williams
“I'm on record as having said "I've done this amazing movie - The Sixth Sense - that no one is going to see." And then it stayed in the top 10 American films for about six months. So don't ask me. I'm the most disastrous PR and marketing predictor.” DoneFilmMarketingAsk MeSixth Sense Author:Olivia Williams
“It's funny, when people want things to be very truthful and you're dealing with an inexperienced actor. I'm of the school that believes things like that have to be very carefully choreographed. You need people there to say, "It's going to happen like this."” PeopleBelieveSchoolTruthful Author:Olivia Williams
“The trouble with audition process is, when you're an unemployed actor, it's the only time you get to act, and it can be quite fun. If you feel in control of the material and you feel that the people are pleased to see you and are excited by you auditioning for them, it can be a really rewarding process. But it can also be a very humiliating process.” PeopleFunTroubleExcitedHumiliating Author:Olivia Williams
“I hope I never get in the situation where I refuse to audition, because I think people have a right to see you interpreting the character, and if you don't do it the way they want you to, they have a right to say, "No."” PeopleThinkingCharacterSituation Author:Olivia Williams
“There are movies where I've walked onto the set and felt, "This is home," and I'm confident in myself and my work, but that was my first experience of live TV. At that stage, Friends was at its unassailable height of popularity and brilliance.” HomePopularityBrilliance Author:Olivia Williams
“I'm 5'9" and have the body of an English person that doesn't know how to diet.” Author:Olivia Williams
