I want any excuse to come home. My dad is not a spring chicken any more. If anyone says, Go buy a postage stamp in London, Ill go and do it. – Emily Mortimer
My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children theyre beautiful and wonderful then they believe it, and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends. – Emily Mortimer
I was terribly shy when I was growing up, I really wasnt confident with other people and I think I was always afraid of up or not being this very cool, amazing person that I wanted to be. – Emily Mortimer
So what I do now is to pre-empt that by making the up into a virtue, and telling funny stories about how crap I am before people have a chance to notice it for themselves and think maybe I havent realised. – Emily Mortimer
My mom was a professional. My dad and mom met each other in a movie called New Faces of 1937. My mom went under the name Thelma Leeds, and she did a few movies, and she was really a great singer, and when she married my dad and started to have a family, she sang at parties. – Albert Brooks
