Happy Birthday: Miranda Richardson

Miranda Richardson

Born: March 3, 1958 in Southport, Lancashire, England, UK

I like people to be surprised by the turn of events. I don’t want things just to be pat and formulaic. If there’s some sort of internal combustion in the character or a desire to change the way things are going, that makes for conflict, which is the essence of drama.

Why did I not stop to have children? I suppose because the opportunity didn’t present itself. Yes, many women feel they are not complete without having children, but I have different creative outlets.

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.
