Interview with Helena from 2007

This interview is interesting and helps with discurring her various roles and performances as she discusses how her roles have developed naturally and that she has never changed her performace in fear of typecasting:

"...it wasn't deliberate. It's convenient for journalists to impose that, but it really wasn't. I loved doing all those costume dramas. I didn't think, 'Ooh I've got to avoid being typecast' - you can't ever be dictated to by what other people think. I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors."

She also mentions about the films she chooses and her reasons:

"You know what? I hope people go and see it, because it's such a tiny film, made for no money - I loved the writing, and that's what made me do it."

This shows that her career is down to her own choices and that her attraction is the writing of the films and this could help weave in with the variety of her roles as the writing of any genre could appeal to her if the writing is deemed worthy.
