Helen Mirren“It'll be the Internet and piracy that will kill film.

Helen Mirren“There's no good way to waste your time. Wasting time is just wasting time.”
Helen Mirren“I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.”
Helen Mirren“The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.”
Helen Mirren“Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.”
