More From Helen Mirren

I love movies; i grew up loving movies. i've always loved movies. i never thought about making movies until i took art classes and then i started studying different artists. as you study paintings, you see light and shadow, of course - rembrandt, eugène delacroix. you start to understand the relationship between people and art, and images. for me, between movies that i watched and art, it was like, i'd love to make moving art. moving pictures.

A guy's calling to say he's failing algebra ii. just as a point of practice, i say, kill yourself. a woman calls and says her kids won't behave. without missing a beat, i tell her, kill yourself. a man calls to say his car won't start. kill yourself. a woman calls to ask what time the late movie starts. kill yourself. she asks, "isn't this 555-1327? is this the moorehouse cineplex? i say, kill yourself. kill yourself. kill yourself.

It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. it is too expensive to make movies. that's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. making movies is not.
Want Movie Making Expensive
Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.
Basketball Pain Motivation
When things get tough, this is what you should do: make good art. i'm serious. husband runs off with a politician -- make good art. leg crushed and then eaten by a mutated boa constrictor -- make good art. irs on your trail -- make good art. cat exploded -- make good art. someone on the internet thinks what you're doing is stupid or evil or it's all been done before -- make good art.
Running Art Husband
The movie studios, they only like to make - i make a joke, but it's true - if the movie has the word "man" and a number in the title, they'll make it. if it doesn't have that, it's an r-rated raunchy comedy, and that's it. any other movie that you're going to make is going to be an independent one. so for filmmakers who want to do something other than "man" and a number, it's either independent films or television, which is like the place for real creative filmmakers to go.

The nectar of compassion is so wonderful. if you are committed to keeping it alive, then you are protected. what the other person says will not touch off the anger and irritation in you, because compassion is the real antidote to anger. nothing can heal anger except compassion. that is why the practice of compassion is a very wonderful practice.
Real Compassion Practice
The first real unhappiness i remember to have felt was when some one told me, one day, that i did not love god. i insisted, almost tearfully, that i did; but i was told that if i did truly love him i should always be good. i knew i was not that, and the feeling of sudden orphanage came over me like a bewildering cloud.
