People should be a little loony, Helena. That's the best thing about them.

Her name was called Lady Helena Herring and her age was 25 and she mated well with the earl.

Helena Bonham Carter - she's so stunning. She's really English, quintessential, elegant, charming.

I'm sure 'Boxing Helena' will eclipse 'Twin Peaks' and Audrey Home for me. If people here go see it.

I like people who dress quirkly and differently. Like in womenswear, thank god for Helena Bonham Carter!

I appreciate people who sway to the beat of their own tambourine, like Iris Apfel and Helena Bonham Carter.

I've always loved Helena Christensen's style because she looks casual and comfortable, while being chic and cool.

I got my Equity card playing Helena in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' and I think that's the first job I got that was an offer.

We've had enough career politicians in Helena who think the people are here to serve them. It's supposed to be the other way around.

I loved doing Shakespeare. My two favorite roles, in fact, have been Viola in Twelfth Night and Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Helena Bonham Carter was one of my biggest crushes. And Rachel Weisz. I think I told her that when we were filming, which was probably a bit embarrassing.

I love Helena Bonham Carter because every character that she portrays, she's just something completely different. And she has that quirky factor that she just owns.

When I was very young I was never pretty or beautiful and didn't get the chance to play many parts I'd have loved to tackle: the great Shakespearean parts - Viola, Helena.

Helena Bonham Carter was 19 when we made 'A Room with a View'. She came for the interview in these extraordinary boots and a black dress, and sat with her feet out in front of her.

One of the things I love about Helena Bonham Carter is that she is ravishing, but she does as much as she can to play it down and look funny. She doesn't let her looks get in the way. I hugely respect that.

Very early on, you figure out that you put your self-esteem in the hands of strangers. There's a different commodity. There's the Helena Bonham Carter that everyone thinks they know, who really has nothing to do with me. But you just have to let that go.

Acting-wise, I love Helena Bonham Carter. I love Kate Winslet. I love Angelina Jolie when she was 'Girl, Interrupted' Angelina Jolie. There isn't anybody that I can definitely point to and be like her. Because I've never felt like I've been able to relate to the women that are famous.

WI played a young Helena Bonham Carter in a BBC film called 'A Dark Adapted Eye,' and I thought she was a completely spellbinding person. Totally unmoved by other people's expectations, fashions or opinions. She's probably the coolest English actress there is. Incredibly idiosyncratic.

In 'A Room With a View' there's a lovely scene with Julian Sands and Helena Bonham-Carter in a wheat field. It was simply the right time of day: late afternoon, that golden light, wheat and poppies... So romantic. But I had no idea it would turn out that well, since we so rarely shoot in a studio.
