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.

More quotes by Alison Pill
Nobody wants anything bad to happen the other side isn't evil.
Alison Pill
It's not just politicians who underestimate us we underestimate ourselves.
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.
Alison Pill
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.
Alison Pill
I think a lot of people try to plan things in their career. They feel like, If I don't get this done by the time I'm thirty, everything's over. But I've worked with a lot of people whose careers shot to the top later in life.
Alison Pill
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.
Alison Pill
The boys have been running Washington for a long-ass time. We're talking 200-some-odd years.
Alison Pill
True badassery has no gender.
Alison Pill
To keep an active mind, I find that reading novels is really good.
Alison Pill
Okay, I get kicked off the drums when I try and...the notes just keep coming at you and I'm like Ahhhhh! I can't do it. I have literally gotten booed off the stage way too many times. It's terrorizing. The rest of my band mates just are...they tell me to get off. I'm like, I can play bass. Dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk.
Alison Pill
Well, it's sort of funny to try and get that balance between just accepting the reality of my friend [co-star Satya Bhabha] flying in from the ceiling of the theatre and like starting to do a dance with demon hipster chicks. It's like, so how do we react when he throws fireballs? Are we surprised? Does this happen a lot?
Alison Pill
There's a lot more historical baggage to deal with as a wife than as a partner.
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
And I loved seeing that because they're great interesting cities in of themselves so I'm looking forward to actually being able to use it as itself instead of being a bad New York.
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
I learned to drum and I'm very excited today. Well, first of all I got to...I learned when I was in New York I sort of did some prepping with just learning basic stuff like beating my couch next to my drum teacher, who's this incredible guy named Charlie Green.
Alison Pill
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.
Alison Pill
One thing that has gone away from civil discussion in America is this idea that our neighbors are not out to ruin the world. We need to come at it from a civil place.
Alison Pill
Sitting out of politics isn't really an option if you don't want things to slide.
Alison Pill
I didn't know the comic at all, which is really funny because I grew up here and I had friends who worked at all of the places. Like The Beguiling, which is a store here, and Suspect Video and one of my friends actually worked at Suspect and The Beguiling. So it's kind of crazy that I'd never known the books before.
