English actress Helen Mirren says she takes pride and pleasure in knowing she has earned everything she has in her life.
“Everything I have I have earned. I come from not a working-class situation, but certainly a financially impoverished one. We didn’t have a television when I was growing up or a washing machine or a car, but the one thing my parents taught me — and it was very important for me as a woman – was, ‘you must become financially independent’,” she said.
Helen Mirren added: “When I became an actress, it was very important to me to become financially secure, and I have always worked. And I am now financially independent, and I did it myself. Nobody helped me. I take great pride and pleasure in that.”
