Quotes from Kenneth Branagh's Characters

    1. Sir Laurence Olivier: She's quite wonderful. No training, no craft, no guile, just pure instinct. Astonishing.
    2. Colin Clark: You should tell her that.
    3. Sir Laurence Olivier: Oh, I will. But she won't believe me. That's probably what makes her great, yet it's certainly what makes her so profoundly unhappy.
    From My Week with Marilyn. Submitted by Jillian L (2 months ago)
    1. Minister Dormandy: You see, that's the whole point of being the government. If you don't like something you simply make up a new law that makes it illegal.
