More quotes by 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.

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.

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.

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

Sitting out of politics isn't really an option if you don't want things to slide.
Alison Pill
And then we came here for three weeks of band rehearsal with [music consultant/member of the band Sloan] Chris Murphy. And I grew up in Toronto during Sloan's heyday, so like I was like Oh my god! And so that was pretty cool.

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

I can't even vote in America!
Alison Pill
The script is a bible and it's this unchangeable document that somebody spent years and years on.

True badassery has no gender.
Alison Pill
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.
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
We need to organize and figure out our own voice as a bloc and stop doubting ourselves.

It's not just politicians who underestimate us we underestimate ourselves.

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.
