One of my favourite things to think about is, if you could be invisible and go back in time, where would you go? I've always said ancient Egypt. I would love to see them building the pyramids, and I've always had a real fascination with medieval time and monarchy in medieval times. Elizabeth Debicki

Red carpets are awful. They're like a kind of purgatory - you stand there, and there are cameras flashing everywhere. One of my first red carpets was in Cannes for 'The Great Gatsby,' and I'd never seen anything like it. Elizabeth Debicki

Great You Seen First Everywhere Great Gatsby Kind Purgatory Never Red Red Carpets Like Cameras Flashing Cannes Anything Stand Awful

Every time I see a good play or watch a good movie, I have the same feeling I had as a child of wanting to be that person on stage or wanting to run through the forest with a big dress on. Elizabeth Debicki

I was a dancer from a young age. My parents were dancers; we were taken to a lot of ballet as children. It occurred to me that what I liked more than dancing the steps was acting the story of whatever particular performance I was taking part in. Elizabeth Debicki

I was very new to working in front of the camera when I started shooting 'Gatsby', so I set myself the mission of gleaning as much information as possible out of the much more experienced actors. The cast was astoundingly talented. Elizabeth Debicki

I have to say that filming 'The Night Manager' was not just amazing but also very daunting at first. I used to describe myself as the token plebeian surrounded by all your national treasures. All that glittering talent in one place; I knew Hugh from Fry and Laurie videos that my grandpa used to watch, and Tom Hollander's 'Rev' is hilarious. Elizabeth Debicki

Myself Amazing Videos First Hilarious National Say Daunting Knew Talent Glittering Also Surrounded Very Hugh Manager Just Place Fry Grandpa Your Used Token Describe Tom Watch Treasures Night Filming

I think there's something beautifully old fashioned about waiting all week then sitting down and watching something on television together. I'm generation box set, accustomed to binging on multiple episodes at a time, which is fun but quite a solitary pursuit because you do it alone. Elizabeth Debicki

Alone Time You Together Generation Waiting Old Down Think Television Solitary About Something Week Pursuit Beautifully Box Because Sitting Quite Accustomed Which Then Episodes Old-Fashioned Fun Multiple Watching Set

There is something about a theatre room that is really like a laboratory for trying things and failing, because you have time to do that, and you can explore something deeply and discard it if it's not working. Elizabeth Debicki

Time You Theatre About Something Failing Like Discard Because Laboratory Trying Room Really Working Explore Deeply Things

I am very tall, and when you're a teenager, you want to be like everyone else. I used to slump a lot; it's very human at that stage to want to be part of the crowd and not want any part of you that is sticking out. Elizabeth Debicki

I think I've developed a sort of ADD for geography now. When I've been in a country for too long, I'm like, 'I think it's time to leave.' I don't know what that's going to do to me in later life. Elizabeth Debicki

Life Time Me Long Country Think Too Add Later Developed Like Know Sort Geography Leave Been Going Now

Acting is a craft to me: I just think you get better the more you do it. And then the irony to that is your doing it is not in your control. If it was up to most actors, we'd work all the time, and we'd always get better. But it's not in our control, so we have to wait to be given parts to do. Elizabeth Debicki

Work Time Me You Better Wait Control Think Our Given More Most Parts Always Doing Up Get Irony Craft Just Then Acting Your Actor

It even sounds stupid to hear myself say the first costume designer I worked with was Catherine Martin, and she won an Oscar for it, but that was just my very lucky draw of roll of the dice. Elizabeth Debicki

You think there's a rule book, in a way, until you realize there's absolutely no rule book, and you can use a red carpet to express something about yourself. There are so many wonderful designers in the world, and they create such wonderful things. Why go with something uninteresting? Elizabeth Debicki

You Yourself Book Wonderful World Think Rule Rule Book Way Carpet About Something Absolutely Red Red Carpet Until Go Wonderful Things Realize Create Use Uninteresting Many Express Why Things Designers

It often happens that you leave your house in the dark, shoot on a sound stage without natural lighting, and then go home in the dark. A whole week can go past, and it can feel like 12 hours. Elizabeth Debicki

I grew up learning ballet, and then I took up contemporary as I got older. I probably thought I was going to be a ballet dancer when I was younger, but at a certain age, I really was more interested in acting. Elizabeth Debicki

Granted, it's not easy to be a super-tall woman in Hollywood. But there are times when it works in my favour. In 'The Night Manager,' for example, both of my co-stars, Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston, are also well over 6 ft. and it was lovely to look a co-star in the eye and not have them standing on an apple box! Elizabeth Debicki

Majorca is this destination where, you know, you have a lot of money, but you want to go somewhere quite exclusive. And the culture of the island is still traditionally Spanish. It hasn't been infested by tourists. I think, in the '20s or something, an extremely wealthy person built this little kingdom of villas. Elizabeth Debicki

You Culture Destination Money Somewhere Think Extremely Wealthy Kingdom Something Tourists Exclusive Know Island Built Still Go Been Lot Person Quite Where Want Spanish Little

I've always been a big Cate Blanchett fan. Such a wonderful role model, the way she carries herself through her profession. She has so much grace to her, and so much intelligence. I've also always been a big Katharine Hepburn fan. Elizabeth Debicki
