ADD QUOTES
- Alex Kingston: (in 2004, on ER) It's funny. I'm now in a more senior position and yet those feelings of sheer utter excitement of going to work just don't exist any more.

- Alex Kingston: (about California) I thought it was an appalling place. Then I went through a period of being amused by it. Now it's sort of both. Californians don't have that marvelous British cynicism, but then the British can be so patronizing at times. (The Observer, "Intensive Care"; Sunday, July 7, 2002)
  Edit Share Hide
- Alex Kingston: I do get annoyed with myself. I wish I was more focused and pushy as an actress. I suppose I should be out there more saying 'I want to do this role' or 'Get me seen by this person.' But that's just not me. (The Eye magazine; January 17–23, 2004)
