1. Whenever money is in the game, it can suffocate anything and anyone else, and I think people have been misled by money, or the dream of money, or selling the dream that if you’ve made it money-wise, you’ve made a life. Which is a lie. You don’t get happiness by money.
2. I grew up wearing trousers and climbing trees.
3. I’ve been a waitress for events, but a lady at the Victoria hotel in Yorkshire showed me how to do it properly.
4. I don’t call myself a method actor, but the thing is, when you meet Reynolds Woodcock, who is always Reynolds Woodcock, you kind of are Alma, and you kind of become Alma all the time.

7. I made a movie in Germany called ‘The Chambermaid’ — it was very, very small. I think it cost €70,000 to make. I even put some money in and raised some money for it. It was real German arthouse… It goes, somehow, out there on the Internet, and it goes on iTunes.
8. You want to be a good mother, and you want to be a good actress, and you want to be a good friend, and we expect this of us, to be all of this.

10. I love how complicated we are. We are complicated because of what we’ve had and lived.
11. The way I grew up, I had hippie parents, and we would run around the garden with no shoes on, very close to nature. So I never wore little princess dresses. I still have this feeling whenever I wear a very formal dress; I always have this slight fear that people will point their fingers at me and laugh: ‘Vicky is trying to look like a lady.’
12. It seemed too glamorous to me to be an actress like in the movies.
13. Love cannot be defined, caught, cast in stone, or archived. It’s something we have no control over. Love is completely analog. Love can never be digital.
14. Love for your work, love for another person, love for yourself — love is a huge pond, and it’s never empty. You can go and take from it, and it will give you strength.
