" Helen Mirren has dismissed the notion that she is an authority figure. The British actress - who won an Oscar for playing Elizabeth II in The Queen and voices Dean Hardscrabble in Monsters University - told Digital Spy that she regrets not being bold enough to be a rebel in school. &amp;quot;I was too much of a scaredy cat to be a real full-out rebel,&amp;quot; said Mirren. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s absolutely shameful that I was never expelled from school. I see that as a blot.  &amp;quot;[I never got close], too frightened to be naughty or perhaps too clever being naughty! Maybe I was too sneaky and they never found me out.&amp;quot; On joining the roster of esteemed Hollywood stars who&amp;#039;ve lent their voices to a Pixar animation, Mirren added: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s fantastic to be a part of the library of what I think are going to be great classics that people are going to be watching in 50 or 100 years&amp;#039; time.&amp;quot; Watch Helen Mirren discuss Monsters University, her love of animated movies and struggling to be confident in our exclusive video interview above.
