People are funny, and in the most tragic situations, when comedy erupts from nowhere, it can turn on its head within the space of a second or a minute. Youre laughing one minute and youre crying the next and thats just life for me, and that is what people are like. – Sally Hawkins
I remember once giving my dad some drawings and writings and said, If you could just give these to the publisher, that would be great. And I was about five! – Sally Hawkins
Comedy was why I got into acting the first place. Peter Sellers was a huge influence on my wanting to act. I grew up with him and found him hysterical. The Pink Panther films were an inspiration, from my earliest childhood days, when I was watching them with my brother and my dad. – Sally Hawkins
My parents have a strong work ethic, but their attitude to life, their philosophy, is: whatever makes you happy. – Sally Hawkins
American stuntmen are smart – they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance… But in Hong Kong, we dont know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If youve got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt. – Jackie Chan
