The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person. – Felicity Jones
On ‘Rogue One,’ we had these sets with tiny little buttons that would light up when you pressed them, and screens full of graphics, and it really felt like you were driving a spaceship. The level of detail; you’ll be two meters away from where the action is, but there’ll be a little detail there just in case the camera catches it. – Felicity Jones
I always take off my makeup. My mother always told me to do this, and I never go to bed without doing it. I use a good moisturizer and Mario Badescu face wash. – Felicity Jones
But for everyone, I think, there is always a pressure to conform, and I guess as you get older you realize it’s less interesting to do that. It starts with you, though, saying, ‘I know what I like doing and that’s what I’m going to do.’ – Felicity Jones
A fashion show is like a 10-minute play, but there’s all this anticipation; Everyone arriving, finding their seats, then there’s 10 minutes of people walking past and clothes and music, then the whole thing is finished. – Felicity Jones
When I was 11 years old, I was a member of ‘Press Pack,’ which was a thing that would come out in ‘The Sunday Times’ in England. You’d write articles and send them off and would get a badge saying ‘Official Press.’ I was really excited about my badge. – Felicity Jones
Actors and directors work on things together. That’s how I like to work, anyway. I don’t want to be told what to do. I want to share it with someone and work it out together. – Felicity Jones
My mother worked in advertising and my father was a journalist. But they split up when I was three and I grew up in a single-parent family. My mum brought my brother and I up. – Felicity Jones
My most treasured item is the brown leather bag that my mum bought me from a little Italian shop for my 21st. It’s supposed to be a vanity bag, but I use it as a handbag. – Felicity Jones
I make all my decisions by listening to my instinct and then keeping my fingers crossed it will lead to a good place. – Felicity Jones
I’m a horrible perfectionist and very highly strung. That’s why I do yoga: to unwind. – Felicity Jones
I like to jump into different worlds. I’m attracted to the emotional rollercoaster of acting. Now I’ve been doing it for so many years, I must rather enjoy it. – Felicity Jones
I don’t think my parents would have let me go straight into acting full time when I was 12. I do like to have balance, naturally, as an individual. – Felicity Jones
I hardly ever watch the news… I love reading newspapers, but I know they’re dying out. – Felicity Jones
I would be writing an essay that was due in the next day until about 1 A.M., and then I would be up at 6 A.M. and on a train to Birmingham to record ‘The Archers’. It was pretty intense. – Felicity Jones
I did think that acting would be much more like being a pop star. Now I’m here, I can’t think of anything more different. – Felicity Jones
You still slightly down that you’re ever going to work again, every time you finish something. That’s the territory of being an actor. It’s like anything that’s competitive. It takes a lot of determination. I just feel lucky to be able to do something that I really love. – Felicity Jones
The more you work, the more people can see that you’re something different from what’s come before. – Felicity Jones
It is disheartening when you read an interview with an actress, and it starts by describing what she is wearing. – Felicity Jones
If you’re in a film that you’re proud of and you care about, then you’re always happy to talk about it. – Felicity Jones
It can be frustrating when you’re put in a category with others. Women do get lumped together in this reductive grouping, and you think, ‘Gosh, that rarely happens with the boys.’ I’m sure people don’t say to Eddie Redmayne, ‘How do you feel about Andrew Garfield?’ – Felicity Jones
It’s nice to have some continuity you can come back to. I feel that in coming home, coming back to London. – Felicity Jones
I’m very independent, creatively, always trying to push myself – and I think that comes from my mother. – Felicity Jones
I think there is an enormous appetite for great roles for women. You can see that clearly with things like ‘The Hunger Games.’ – Felicity Jones
I was a very rotund child with short hair, and for some reason, I always had black ballet shoes. I was like the Wednesday Addams of ballet. – Felicity Jones
In everyday life, I like APC, Isabel Marant, but I also like Zara. It depends how I’m feeling on the day. I like clothes that have a certain strength to them – simple but graphic. – Felicity Jones
It’s nice to film in somewhere that you actually love being. Usually, you’re in a studio for months on end, and you never see any daylight, so you really make the most of it. – Felicity Jones
I always love listening to Bob Dylan. ‘Blood on the Tracks’ is one of my favorite albums. – Felicity Jones
