When you're in film and you're in close, charisma in the eyes and confidence can take over. But when someone's sitting twenty rows back, you need the whole body. You need to be encompassed by an actor.

More quotes by Alison Pill
But it's been funny to try and carry the through line, but I think the main thing is the relationship that the band has because we have spent now all this time together that I think that's sort of what we returning to. And whenever we get to play together, it still sort of returns to that little shitty rehearsal space. So that's good.

The boys have been running Washington for a long-ass time. We're talking 200-some-odd years.

When women are in positions of power it's a hard place to be, especially when that position involves bossing men around.

The best thing about serial drama - especially about screwball comedy - is blocked love.

I find that a lot of my best character stuff and ideas come unwittingly from novels. In scripts, it's a lot about the outward signs of whatever's happening - you have the end result. Whereas in a novel you get a buildup of the whys and wherefores, and you're let into the backstory.

Sitting out of politics isn't really an option if you don't want things to slide.
Alison Pill
Secrets are great for acting. Secrets are the best thing in the world for acting, because they keep you looking like you have something in the back of your mind.

I find it very hard to believe that people would prefer an awkward picture with me than a normal conversation.

The biggest thing I've noticed with some of my favorite directors is their gift of sticking a bunch of strangers in a room together and making them comfortable and making them into a cohesive group. There's magic involved, because you don't know why anybody would pick this group of people.

True badassery has no gender.

The script is a bible and it's this unchangeable document that somebody spent years and years on.
Alison Pill
Have a kid. You obviously shouldn't have a baby just to get politically active, but I'm eight and a half months pregnant, and I swear, thinking about an actual very real future for a tiny person is a game changer.
Alison Pill
I didn't like most of my boyfriends. I'm a perfect example of somebody who will make it work no matter what. Like, I once had a guy move in with me. He was my least favorite. Nobody who went out with us knew that we were together. I just would not give off the vibe.
Alison Pill
It's not just politicians who underestimate us we underestimate ourselves.
Alison Pill
The biggest thing about growing up in Canada is you know that Los Angeles and New York are not the only places in the world. They're not the only places where brilliant acting happens.
Alison Pill
One of my favorite things in watching an actor is feeling, The story is safe in your hands. I can lean back and trust you with this.
Alison Pill
I think it's just different to get married for a woman than it is for a man. The amount of work to overcome certain gender roles in the partnership - just the expectation of housework, kid-work, whatever it is.

I don't have any trouble believing that you would avoid something seemingly perfect because you're in something you really want to prove to yourself you can do right.

I would say my favorite was just the beginning of the movie like doing all the rehearsal stuff. It's been amazing to see the rest of it happen but it happens so piecemeal. And Edgar sort of has the whole movie edited in his head already, so we're just sort of matching to what he has.

There's a lot more historical baggage to deal with as a wife than as a partner.
