Famous Quotes
Quotes by Helena Bonham Carter
- Famous people come up to me, but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.
- I don't think kids have a problem with death. It's us older ones who are nearer to it, that start being frightened.

- My mom being a psychotherapist, I've been brought up with that whole psychoanalytical terrain.
- No matter how many modern parts I do, people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama. Fight Club is a studio pic, and I've done very few of those. I've got a feeling it's going to change things for me.
- She looks like a warrior. I mean, Bellatrix does mean warrior. And she's also a bit of a fatale. She's the right hand of Voldemort, and the only woman death eater.
