Character Quotes by Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan

I don’t think I want to play title roles. I don’t want to be the face on the poster. I don’t want that pressure of having the success riding on my shoulders. I just want to play the most interesting parts. I actually think it’s incredibly rare to get an interesting female character that is the lead in a film. Usually the character parts are so much more interesting to play.

I’d love to do a Paul Greengrass movie, or something like that, that’s a character-driven action film. I’d like someone to make me go to the gym every day, and all that stuff. I don’t know. Wherever the good characters are, I tend to try to get a job. It was nice because this was dipping my toe in the action genre. Maybe I might put my foot in, next time.

I’ve never done coke or anything, and I’ve never played a character who has, so I don’t know whether I would actually try coke if I had to play a character who took coke.

It makes it easier, if you can’t do an American accent. I don’t know. It’s different. I played a character in Never Let Me Go where the script for my character was very sparse, and I enjoyed it. With Never Let Me Go, I had a whole book written from my character’s point of view, so I always knew where I was. But, with Ryan [Gosling], it was just easy. He’s such a brilliant actor and he is so prepared. He doesn’t have to warm himself up to be in a scene. He’s just in it. It draws you in, in a way.

The toughest part of acting is never a single thing. It’s more like a whole character. I find film really difficult – trying to make it feel like a consistent character when you’re filming everything out of order.
