I was really enjoying one of the screenings of ‘Beautiful Creatures’ and there was this little 14-year-old boy sitting next to me in the screening and I was laughing at all the jokes and I just felt really judged. I had to keep it down a bit. It’s a bit embarrassing. Alice Englert Read Quote
I was raised with adults. I skipped knowing how to interact as a normal teenage person. Alice Englert Read Quote
It was a sort of organic thing. I never went, ‘I must be an actress.’ I thought, ‘I think I could do this. I think I could be good at this.’ I would just get sort of hungry when I read something I thought I can do well, whether it was in books or in scripts or if I saw a certain movie. It sort of happened quite naturally. Alice Englert Read Quote

I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society. Your education, and your mother and father, they tell you this is how it is, but then you hit adolescence and you think, ‘Is it? Why? Why is it like that?’ Sometimes that questioning leads to something more. Alice Englert Read Quote
Some of us don’t have the energy to be as incredible and riotous and fantastic as Emma Thompson. You’re constantly just lapping up her incredible hilariousness. Alice Englert Read Quote
I can’t do an accent unless I’m on the set. I forget how to do it until I’m on the set. Alice Englert Read Quote
I deliberately went to boarding school. It was my choice. My mum was abroad and I wanted to wean myself off being dependent. It was a very important time for me to be able to create my own individual, independent life; just as a way of growing up. Alice Englert Read Quote
