Jamie Bell Quotations

I think a mantra I always told myself is, "No matter how many times somebody pitches the ball at you, if you swing every time, eventually one of them is going to connect." Being yourself and persistence are two things that became my daily mantras, I suppose.

Saying "muff" to someone and trying to be romantic is incredibly difficult.

The reason I do small, independent movies is because I want to keep my soul intact and maintain some kind of integrity within this industry.

Any time you can completely immerse yourself in something it's fun.

I love anything that kind of removes me from myself and employs something else. So, I love accents and I love pretending.

It must be hard to be a female in a David Mackenzie movie. I feel like women in his films are portrayed a certain way - like broken people.
