Does Carey Mulligan Know Lines From Her Most Famous Movies?

this line is probably one of my first lines I ever said on camera in a professional job ever it may be my first line hi I'm Carrie Mulligan and I'm going to guess some of my film quotes I don't want to lose my virginity to a piece of fruit um is from an education I don't want to lose my virginity to a piece of fruit being nominated for an education was insane I remember the first time I saw it I rang up my mom and I said Mom it's so boring and everyone's going to hate it and I said my face doesn

't do anything and I look so stupid and I was I just found the whole thing sort of terrifying and then this whole Whirlwind happened so when I was nominated it was like I guess it's 5: in the morning it was really early and I was in LA I rang my mom and she was lecturing at the time she's a lecturer at University and she was taking class trip trip somewhere and she had just bollocked her can I say bollocked she had just bollocked her class for um using their phones you know so she' just been lik

e put your phones away whatever and told them off so I rang her and it rang for ages and she finally picked up and she was like hello I said Mom I just just got nominated for an Oscar she went um Dolly I'm just going to call you back then hung up and I was what the [ __ ] so then I just stood there and you know raged for a second and then I found out why she done that but yeah it was it was just wild I don't think I even thought it was going to go into Cinemas it was just this sort of tiny indie

film that we shot in like a month and it was completely wild experience oh I hope she'll be a fool that's the best thing a girl can be in this world a beautiful little fool is from The Great Gatsby and I hope she'll be a fool that's the best thing a girl in this world can be it was a bizarre thing because I went from sort of low budget indie films lots of British TV and theater and then went to Sydney and made this enormous film but I remember thinking that Leo is so lovely oh I love him it did

n't matter where the camera was he was still incredible I sort of thought well when it's the camera is not on him you know he doesn't really need to do anything he Leonardo decapria and every time it was on me and he was like next to the camera or behind the lens he was just so it was it was as good as it was the other way around I thought that was so generous and it was all just mad it was such a mad sort of Bas lurman sort of circus you know it was just so much bigger than anything I had been

in that point I felt like the casting process was sort of like winning American Idol it was all so kind of big you know but I loved it it was blast can you guess what every woman's worst nightmare is is from promising young woman can you guess what every woman's worst nightmare is I do remember that it's very hard to say I can't even do it now woman woman's worst nightmare at one point I said can I call myself a girl instead because it's easier to say in an American accent but woman's worst anyw

ay I can't do it but yeah very difficult to say very good line when I found out I was nominated for promising young woman I was at home I decided to watch I wasn't going to I thought I'll just not think about it I'll just go and mow the lawn or something and then I decided that I was going to watch it so my husband and I he put it on his TV screen in the studio away from the house away from the children but my name alphabetically is quite late in the alphabet so it really looked icy for a second

there and do you know what he' written he'd written out a bunch of little Post-it notes and put them all over the screen of reasons to not be sad if I wasn't nominated um but anyway we didn't need them in the end but it was yeah it was very lovely Emerald's Direction was more you know she gave me a mood board she gave me music Britney spe toxic was sort of top of the playlist Paris Tilton stars are blind you know she kind of built the world for me it was kind of a holistic thing it was like thi

s is what it's going to look like sound like feel like it should be like a beautiful candy that you open and eat it and realize it was poisoned you know that was always the sort of sense and that that there was a an incredibly dark comedy to the whole thing we feel they'll speak out if they're not the only one safety in numbers that took me a second to I was I thought it was suffer jet for a second um that's from she said we feel they'll speak out if they're not the only ones safety and numbers

the secret to playing Megan Tui I think was first of all just not being completely overwhelmed by how cool she is Megan Tui and jod Canter are such deeply impressive women and what I loved about the story was that it was putting at the Forefront these women who did ignite a movement that really changed the world you know Megan and jod but also the survivors that came forward so I think I felt humble led by the whole thing and what I loved about the way that Maria Shader directed it is that there

was sort of lacking in sentimentality it was really factual there was something pragmatic about the film and I think that was putting forward just the truth just things that were undeniable like this film could be this book that it was based on she said but the film could also be somewhat of a kind of time capsu just to say this happened irrefutably you know this has been proven that this happened and then the result is we can all see and it's still you know happening today but that this moment

happened where all these Brave women came forward and did this thing that seemed impossible and then like the world has changed after that so I didn't think a huge amount about journalism but more just sort of trying to honor who she was as a person and her courage and doing what she did oh we need to build up a very strong connection this is from Maestro we need to build up a very strong connection Bradley said I want we were going to shoot the stuff where they were young and they were sort of

falling in love and we had this bit where we were sitting back to back um and he said I want us to to play a game and we're just going to play a game and I'm going to film it and the camera is going to come in on a crane shot and it's going to find us playing this game and my brother and I when we were little played this game where we would pretend that we had a telepathic connection or I would pretend that we had it so my brother would tell my mom the number that he was thinking of and then he

would send it to me you know telepathically and out of sight my mom would go like that and I'd go three and my brother was just completely blown away and he'd be like oh my God we likey and for years this I mean for years until we were teenagers this carried on anyways when I was we were sitting in the scene I thought well let's play the the numbers game so we started the scene I said give me a number between 1 and 10 and so that's how we kind of started playing that game and then play it again

later in the film and it became their kind of little Motif it was amazing amazing because what he did as a director you know sometimes he would give me notes traditionally like directors do but more often than that he would direct me through his performance so he would as Lenny do a scene and the way that he was molding the take it would be to elicit a certain response out of me so he was directing Me by changing his performance to make my performance change so you know it was so subtle you kin

d of didn't feel like you were being directed you know he done five years of prep by the time he got on set he just was that character and so I didn't you know took a lot of the acting out of it for me cuz you know it was just responding to someone the regiments are coming there to be stationed the whole winter in the village just right there it's a period drama far from the Madden crowd or Pride and Prejudice oh the regiments are coming excited Kitty Bennett acting yeah yeah are coming stay the

whole winter this line is probably one of my first lines I ever said on camera in a professional job ever it may be my first line I think I only had about six lines in Pride and Prejudice but I was in it a lot because I was sort of in it just giggling in the background and sort of running around parties with the Jim Malone but this was one of my lines I was 19 I turned 19 on the job yes I was 18 when we started shooting I turned 19 like a week into film LLY yeah I love Jenna Malone so much I al

so had no idea what I was doing I mean I really had no idea what I was doing Lydia and kitty were sort of somewhat like twins so I just copied her I just did everything that she did she was such a pro and she really took me under her wing and was so wonderful um to me all of the sisters we all just loved each other it was like a real family it was so lovely
