Quote of the Week - Helena Bonham Carter
 
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/rovie/qotw5.gif



In a recent interview with the Press Association Helena Bonham Carter spoke about the work ethic on the set of Harry Potter.

Quote:

Helena said: "Acting is so boring half the time because you're waiting for everybody else - I worked on Harry Potter afterwards (after shooting a biopic about Enid Blyton) and it was like going from one end of the spectrum to the other."

She continued: "It's not an entirely selfish process because everyone else has to do their work too, so you have to wait. You just have to wait and so much of acting is momentum. I really love doing Harry Potter, but there's half an hour between each take and there's a cocktail party and then you can't remember what you did in the last one so there's nothing to build on."

interesting quote

That would drive you pretty mental. Waiting in between acts is bad enough but actually having your scene cut up and for long amounts of time would totally destroy the momentum

Helena is an amazing actress. It's very hard to play an insane sadist like Bellatrix and make it look real.

Coctail party?????? *running to the cast across the ocien*

I adore Helena Bonham Carter!! She is great as Bellatix... i am so sad I won't get to see much more of her!!

AndromedaBlack 10-05-2009 03:36 PM

I love Helena! <3 She's so entertaining!

BonnieGinnyfan 10-05-2009 03:47 PM

:lol: Helena is great!!!

Looneybird 10-05-2009 04:05 PM

I just love Helena! There's no one like her for sure...

Sav!!XD 10-05-2009 04:08 PM

Helena is so great! Now I understand how Tom managed to learn guitar while on set, if there is that much time doing nothing.

redifer 10-05-2009 04:13 PM

I love Helena Bonham. She always (well nearly always) plays a bad-girl. She is completely perfect as Bellatrix. And I would totally love to have a cocktail party between work duties! :)

Harron Peasley 10-05-2009 04:18 PM

I understand what she means! As an Extra, we're waiting for so long between takes/scenes. It can take hours, sometimes! :) But I'd like a cocktail partayy ;)

MissWeasley 10-05-2009 04:41 PM

Helena is the greatest. She makes the perfect Bellatrix. We both could use a cocktail.

harita 10-05-2009 05:03 PM

cool...cocktail party huh?well i loved her as Bellatrix she was one awesomly evil female there...i loved the way she said
"they are just empty words" that was cool and purely wicked
"make an unbreakble vow" wow that was really good.the hollow voice... great...waiting for her to come on screen in the last one...

Weaslebee 10-05-2009 06:56 PM

Cristefens 10-05-2009 07:04 PM

OtterySt.Catchpole 10-05-2009 11:34 PM

This is a cute quote.
 
That's funny writing fics is the same way it requires so much momentum and loads of cocktails :lol: okay no but the momentum makes it fun ... try writing on the run you know? Especially when you're running down a hill ... it makes for more climactic stories. :yes:

I love her ♥ I love Bellatrix too and I love how she plays her in the movies so wicked :lol:

Emileyn 10-06-2009 12:22 AM

I absolutely love Helena!!! She's the perfect Bellatrix; I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it.(:

iwantorlando05 10-06-2009 12:34 AM

Lmao! I bet she wouldn't have that problem if she read the books...but I wonder what she means by a "cocktail party?"

Ginny GL 10-06-2009 12:19 PM

That's the point of great actors, isn't it? Keeping the momentum, no matter what.

Hermionespell 10-06-2009 12:59 PM

Haha! I understand her point though, that can make things rather difficult. However, that's why they hire such talented actors! ;)

PadfootAndTheWolf 10-06-2009 08:22 PM

:lol: I would definately put up with that for a chance to be in the Harry Potter movies! :yes:

I don't think she's being literal. It's just a way of expressing how long they have to wait.

phoenix_tears 10-09-2009 05:49 PM

:lol:, Go Helena!

ale 10-09-2009 06:01 PM
