Don’t ever underestimate the power of mentoring someone, or helping some young actor, doing a favor for them, or introducing - everyone needs somebody to help them along when they’re first starting out.

More quotes by Allison Janney
I can tell when men are threatened by my height.
Allison Janney
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.
Allison Janney
I grew up with brothers. I love men. Of course it's hard to be a woman in a man's world.
Allison Janney
It was great to have a Republican character as likeable as Alan Alda was in the West Wing. He was one Republican I would probably vote for he was old school.
Allison Janney
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
I never watched Lost. I just thought it would be fun to be part of something that was such a big part of pop culture. But I thought I was going to be acting with more of the other people. I didn't know that I was going to be on my own on the island, doing this whole other storyline.
Allison Janney
I am lucky enough to have Aaron Sorkin write what I have to say.
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.

One of the advantages of being an older woman in films,is that you don't care as much about so many things. There are women in history throughout the world that need to be portrayed. Women don't stop being interesting at 20, they get more interesting and more fascinating and people are going to have to write about them. We're undeniable.

I have the power of my height. Growing up, it was a total drawback. There was nothing good about it at all.
Allison Janney
The pre-shoot days are so relaxed and fun and the writers are laughing. I love the rehearsal process.
Allison Janney
I'm the worst speller on the planet. I'm so glad for spellcheck on my phone.
Allison Janney
If I could stomach the awful part of being a veterinarian, which involves sticking your hand up animals' behinds, I would be a vet.
Allison Janney
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.
Allison Janney
I just wish that I had a part in everything Aaron Sorkin wrote. Sometimes I wish I was a member of an acting troupe where we all just kept working together, the same people. I can't, unfortunately, be in everything he writes. I'm excited for him, but I'm jealous that I wasn't a part of it.
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
With John Wayne Gacy - the serial killer who dressed up as a clown - there's just something about clowns I don't trust. I don't think they're particularly funny. They're a little spooky. Not my sense of humor, I don't laugh at clowns.
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 afraid of flying.
Allison Janney
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.
