Nothing beats an ‘Archers’ fan for their levels of devotion. I think it’s because it’s radio, and you obviously conjure up an image of the character that is so powerful. – Felicity Jones
Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It’s been a case of learning on the job. I’ve worked in so many styles, with so many people, so I’ve picked bits up from everyone and everything. – Felicity Jones
When I come home, I am literally the most popular person with my friends’ parents for doing ‘The Archers.’ – Felicity Jones
I’d love to do more comedy. It’d just be nice to go into work and not be crying every day. Some broad slapstick would be great. Falling over banana skins would be wonderful. – Felicity Jones
I just always want to play people. I don’t want it to be necessarily that you relate to the character as female or male, but that you relate to them as a person. That’s the driving force. – Felicity Jones
With every film that you do, you’re always so nervous. You feel exposed because you know people will see this eventually. You sort of have to put all that out of your head. What will be will be. But it’s nerve wracking. – Felicity Jones
Of everything I have done, ‘The Archers’ always gets the most excitement; there’s a sort of uncontrollable joy from fans of the program. – Felicity Jones
I actually always had short hair as a kid, and it’s really liberating. I recommend it. It’s just very easy. I don’t have to brush it. – Felicity Jones
For everyone, ‘Star Wars’ has been a part of their lives in some capacity. I remember watching it very early on with my cousins and my brother, and we were all cuddled around the VHS player, which sounds very old-fashioned, but that was the way then. – Felicity Jones
Any creative process comes with a level of self-analysis and self-criticism. There’s a lot of waking up in the middle of the night going, ‘Oh, I wish I had done that differently.’ – Felicity Jones
I love French films, and I copy things I see in them. I read magazines and also look at Tumblr. I love nails, so I literally just search the word ‘nails’ on Tumblr and start looking. – Felicity Jones
I love the Spider-Man story. I watched the cartoon on TV when I was a kid, and my brother wore his Spider-Man pyjamas everywhere. – Felicity Jones
It always starts with a script. I like to have plenty of time to read something, and I always like to read a paper copy. I hate reading it on email. I sit down with a script, and want to see how it hits me. It’s an instinctive process. – Felicity Jones
My bag always weighs a ton. I carry my whole bathroom with me. You never know what’s going to happen in a day! – Felicity Jones
I think that when something happens when you’re growing up, like a death or divorce, it does open the world slightly because things aren’t as straightforward. – Felicity Jones

I actually studied literature at university, so I’m much more of an arts-based person, but I remember I actually did enjoy physics because you got to do weird experiments. I remember we did this thing with static where we all had to put our hands on this static ball to see that your hair would all stand on end. – Felicity Jones
Day to day, I always wear eyeliner on my top lid and mascara. I like to do my own makeup, it depends on the event. – Felicity Jones

I am definitely romantic, and I love romantic stories – that’s why I keep making romantic movies. – Felicity Jones

I’d studied English literature at university, but I was also far more enamored with Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, and James Joyce. That was my passion. – Felicity Jones
If it’s something quite low-key then I’ll often do my own makeup. But for something like a premiere, it’s good to have a makeup artist because they know what they’re doing. – Felicity Jones
I think we’re very lucky that there is a tradition of British actors working in America and being respected in America, and I’ve always liked Kate Winslet and her work and respected her. – Felicity Jones
