Emily Mortimer Quotes

I'm a terrible dancer.

Everybody laughs when fatty falls down.

I was a dork. I'm still kind of goofy and clumsy and not always the most graceful person.

My legs are really long and that's cool apparently, but I'm totally klutzy. I mean, I'm like Bambi. I fall all over myself because I can't control my arms and my really long legs.

I'm just the biggest klutz. That's the problem. I don't get hurt doing cool things.

People who know me know that I am very clumsy, always fumbling, and I talk rubbish most of the times.

People seem to really enjoy laughing at me.

I am the biggest klutz on set. I honestly don't think I have ever been as klutzy as when I'm on set. People call me 'Grace' ironically because I'm not graceful. It's ridiculous.

If you're OK with being clumsy, it's funny. But if you are super embarrassed, people are going to laugh at you.

I'm a pretty goofy person. I'm an awkward dancer, for instance, and a terrible singer.

My years of ballet and jazz dance lessons didn't make me any more graceful - they just helped keep me from bumping into the furniture on stage.

I'm such a klutz!

My forte is awkwardness.

I've kind of blocked it out, but a good friend affectionately reminded me that yes, I was a dork. I was not a cool kid in high school.

At school I was very shy and coincidentally inherited the title 'little miss worry guts,' and that was just among the staff. I learned early on that I could make people laugh, and as my small neat body betrayed me by growing to dizzying heights, I used it as a tool that translated into complete slap-stick comedy.

I'm not cool - quite the opposite. I'm a real geek.

I am not graceful.

I was a pretty nerdy kid. I was pretty nerdy. I'm still kind of nerdy. I have all of the worst qualities of being a nerd - all of the affect and none of the smarts. I'm a useless nerd! That's pretty bad.

I am constantly the butt of jokes.

I'm more one of those people you laugh at and not with. I'm not the one with the jokes, I'm the one who falls on her face going up a flight of steps.

I was the dude you didn't wanna go to school with, because I would come to school and get on your shoes. If you had a hole in your pants, I'd talk about it all day long. If your hair was messed up, if you had buck teeth, I'd talk about it all day long. And I made people laugh doing it, but it wasn't like I thought I was a comedian.

I'm the clumsiest person in the world, so every day brings an embarrassing moment.

I'm kind of a nerd. A square. And I'm terrible at telling jokes. I always forget the punch line.

My friends make me laugh: funny Instagram videos, but mostly people falling over. It's so bad, but it never gets old. I just love how people cover up their falls. The whole experience of 'Oh, I just fell, and I'm going to run out of the fall and pretend I did this on purpose.' I just like to see how people cover up their mishaps.

Well, I can't (sing or dance). Actually, I sing like a seal and dance like your Uncle Leo at that wedding where he got up and went 'ya, ya, ya'.
