I'm very aware that after you've played Cleopatra, there's not a lot that can top that in this sphere, so it means that I want to almost change the sphere I work in rather completely because I will always be comparing it to Cleopatra. Harriet Walter awarechangecleopatra share on social
As I have got older, I have become easier on myself. It's about realising things can't be perfect. Harriet Walter easyoldperfect Change image and share on social
I read, I gossip, I do crosswords. I think chatting with friends is relaxing. I've picked them up all through my life - if you live long enough, you end up with quite a large circle. Harriet Walter chatcirclecrossword Change image and share on social
I just like watching people who really are not self-conscious, who aren't aware, because I fear that one could become too self-conscious, too artful, as an actor.

I'm not very good at going to sleep, and that's probably my worst problem. I don't need much more than seven and a half hours, but I probably get six. I take all my problems to bed with me and fret. I can't switch off. Harriet Walter badbedfret share on social
As long as I am still interested and curious, I enjoy getting up in the morning, but I can't say I have a happy smile on my face 24/7. Harriet Walter curiousenjoyface Change image and share on social
My centre of who I thought I was was never very consciously about being beautiful or attractive - I think I'm one of those people who's actually grown into their looks. Harriet Walter attractivebeautifulcentre Change image and share on social
