Emily Mortimer : (4)

" I’m trying to avoid, you know, guilt, even though before the child is born, you’re already thinking you’re doing things wrong… Why do I think that will probably carry over until the day you die? " - Emily Mortimer

" 51st State was one that I loved doing because the character was so out there, and in a way I was sad to leave the character behind. I’m afraid I could never be that cool in real life! " - Emily Mortimer

" In my first few years as an actor, I took one terrible TV job after another. But even as I laughed off my awful roles and made fun of myself to friends, my work made me cringe – I dreaded anyone’s seeing it. I was crushed that I wasn’t doing anything I was proud of. " - Emily Mortimer

" I went to dinner with my mother-in-law and I just realized I was talking in sound bites to her and expecting her to laugh every time I said anything or be jotting something down in a notebook. So you have to kind of really have a talk with yourself after you’ve done a press tour and say, ‘Chill out!’ " - Emily Mortimer
