Who is Helen Mirren - Queen of Acting?

"Actors are rogues and vagabonds. Or they ought to be. "

"All you have to do is to look like crap on film and everyone thinks you're a brilliant actress. Actually, all you've done is look like crap."

"Flesh sells. People don't want to see pictures of churches. They want to see naked bodies."

"It's great to be queen!"

"It's never been confirmed that Elizabeth I was a virgin. It's like the Virgin Mary - it's about branding, a logo. To use a modern term, Elizabeth was actually a bit of a slut."
