I can't imagine trying to be in recovery. I mean it would be hard enough with just life going along in a nice way, but then when awful stuff happens, how you maintain the strength to get through it?

More quotes by Allison Janney
The wonderful thing about Crystal in Mr. Sunshine is that she doesn't have any boundaries. She's not aware socially of what's correct and incorrect. Crystal's probably the craziest character I've ever had to do and the furthest I've gone, with the only exception being Away We Go - I was pretty big in that.

I do like ensemble work. I would like to do a lead role, though. I didn't shy away from that. I'm desperately looking for a lead role to do in a film, an independent film, and it just hasn't come my way yet. I'm desperately looking for that role that will put me in a lead category. Or a television series.

I'm afraid of flying.

One out of forty American men wears women's clothing. We've had more than forty presidents. One of these guys has been dancing around the Oval Office in a prom dress.

I have the power of my height. Growing up, it was a total drawback. There was nothing good about it at all.

It's a little weird accepting your voice coming out of an animated character. You don't buy it at first because it's your voice and none of us like our voices when we hear them recorded back.

I'm kind of at the mercy of writers out there. I need a writer out there who wants to write a vehicle for me. Do it and get it to me immediately. I do want to be a lead. I want to play a lead role in a movie.

One of the things I love about acting is other actors, looking into their eyes, and working off them, and listening and responding to them.

I'm the worst speller on the planet. I'm so glad for spellcheck on my phone.

I think it was a subject matter that The Social Network didn't involve a lot of women. That's all I think it is.

I always feel like a doctor who loses a patient on the operating table or something where I felt just devastated and I beat myself up until I get to try it the next night and “I'll get it better tonight.” So I'm hard on myself. I think I'm not alone in that regard with acting.
Allison Janney
I'd like to make really important movies, like American Beauty. I was really proud to be a part of that movie.
Allison Janney
I'm not very comfortable being an actorvist so to get to do something that I believe in is a much more comfortable way for me to be political.
Allison Janney
The live aspect is so thrilling, I get nervous again. It's like going on stage.
Allison Janney
I never stop. I don't want to stop acting because I'm afraid it'll all end, so I never say no.
Allison Janney
I think one of my big skills is making unlikable characters likable or real in some way. No matter how hateful people are, there's always something vulnerable about them, or something that you can understand or relate to. I think that's my job as an actress - to find those.

I can tell when men are threatened by my height.

I love working on the fly when the writers come up with new jokes on show nights. It's exciting. I love it so much.
Allison Janney
Great drama is all about conflict, and what's a better conflict than Republican-Democrat?

Aaron Sorkin wrote me one of the best female roles on television, I think. He's a wonderful writer for all people. If he chooses to write, hopefully he'll write something that involves more women next time, because I would love to do it.
