Helena Bonham Carter
motivation

Though Helena Bonham Carter seems rather cautious and conservative (as discussed in the previous chapter), she has a much more playful, humorous side as well. Moreover, the combination of her attention to detail and cautious, circumspect approach to life, coupled with her youthful curiosity and quick mind makes Helena mentally sharp, articulate and clever.

Helena Bonham Carter is, in many ways, an eternal child. Her mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful and always eager for new experiences - and her attention span is often quite brief. Bonham Carter grasps ideas quickly and once her initial curiosity has been satisfied, she is ready to move on. Helena Bonham Carter craves frequent change and variety, as well as new situations and people.

It may be hard for Helena Bonham Carter to decide just where her talents and true vocation lie, for she has a multitude of interests and is loathe limiting herself by concentrating on just one. She is easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities. Her curiosity and restlessness propel Helena toward many different experiences in life, and she is willing to taste or try anything once.

Helena Bonham Carter lives in her head a great deal - reading, observing, thinking, spinning ideas around - and she needs mental stimulation every bit as much as she needs food and drink.

Helena Bonham Carter also has a rather lighthearted and mischievous sense of humor, and often does not take anything too seriously. Though she craves emotional involvement, it is hard for Helena Bonham Carter to achieve it, for she is frequently unwilling to commit herself to anything, to take responsibility or to limit her personal freedom and mobility.

Her happiness lies in using her creativity and language skills to communicate something meaningful, teach, inspire, or bring people together. Helena has an unbiased mind and can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective.
