Emily Blunt

It just proves good movies don't need 100 million dollars to be good.

There is absolutely, 100 percent, a light at the end of the tunnel for anyone who stutters.

I had to learn to dance for 'The Adjustment Bureau' and it was nearly impossible. I turned up with my knees knocking in my leotard and went home and cried my eyes out.

The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A.

It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.

You can go at the premiere it's at Disneyland.

I do strive to find projects that are trying to carve out some new space. I enjoy projects that leap away from the crowd a little bit.

I can understand there are things like shadows they need to fix after a shoot, but it's unfair to represent an image of yourself if it's not true. They're gonna see what you look like on film anyway, so why try to cover all your wobbly bits in a photo?

I'm about to do my second Bikram yoga class in Anchorage, Alaska. It's the only way to stay warm. I've got to get into shape. I've been eating nothing but fish and chips.

Personally, I'm an advocate for short engagements. Long sometimes means there is a reason for it. Two years engaged and no wedding... I'd be upset.

I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.

I almost broke my coccyx on 'The Wolf Man', and I banged my head once. I had to fall really hard.

I think I'm drawn to characters with complexity or who are under duress in some way and have some conflict going on.

If you can capture the humanity of a family struggling in an economic crisis you can make a difference. You can raise awareness just of the simple humanity.

I attempted to fish in Scotland and I managed to hook a dog. It was a horrible moment but the dog turned out to be fine.

It's quite hard to faze me. I'm fairly un-shockable.

People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.

The performances I enjoy are the ones that are hard to read or ambiguous or left-of-centre because it makes you look closer and that's what humans are like - quite mysterious creatures, hard to pinpoint.

It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.

I'm kind of effectively bipolar.

People just want to know something, anything. It's all the stuff you never want to talk about, the private stuff.

I think for me the job always has to be the right thing at the right time.

After this interview, I'm going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card, just like any other normal person.

I think it is nice for people to appreciate a slow-burning, beautiful story that makes you feel good when it is over.

I'm not much of a crier but it is mildly soul-destroying and exposing to do something physical that you are terrible at in front of other people.

A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.

Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.
