WSJ cover
Mulligan appears on the cover of the May 2015 issue of WSJ magazine. She talks about about early career struggles and regrets she has about roles she has accepted and rejected.
My parents were really protective and didn’t think this was a particularly solid career. They didn’t exactly forbid me, but they wanted me to go to university. I had other plans...We have this running joke in my family about how they were right. They say, ‘See, we told you that you were never going to make it.’ They have all proverbially eaten their hats.
Vogue cover
Mulligan appears on the cover of May 2015 issue of Vogue. She talks about her preference to keep her personal life as private as possible.
I have always felt that the less people know about me, the better. The more similar you look job to job, the more they relate to you from your previous roles That’s why I’ve done loads of really stupid things to my hair in the past to try to not look the same.
Harper’s Bazaar cover
Mulligan appears on the cover of the December 2014 issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. She talks about acting, being comfortable in her own skin, and other actresses she admires.
I constantly watch people like Marion Cotillard or Cate Blanchett or Kate Winslet. I have a fear of being passive and what I admire about all those actresses is that every choice they make is really strong. Even if they’re playing something very quiet, it’s visceral and bold.
