Judy Davis's Quotes

  • [on working with David Lean] There was a touch of the bully about him - he'd take it out on the people who were the weakest and most dependent.
  • When I first started acting, and we would all sit down and talk about Shakespeare and how great it was, I thought well, I suppose it is. It is if you get to play Macbeth or Hamlet. But who wants to play bloody Lady Macbeth or Ophelia? And it struck me that most women seem to be required to pit themselves against men in dramatic situations, and the men got to pit themselves against ideas or God.
  • I was always terribly shy, so a great thing that acting has done for me has forced me out of myself and made me more generous.
  • I've never worked for the sake of working. There's probably enough crap out there for me not to add to it.
  • "It's like you're getting ready to go to Cinderella's ball. And then, when you lose, it's like you wake up and realize you're not Cinderella." (on being an Oscar nominee)
