More quotes by 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'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
Someone said I wasn't attractive enough. People say those things, but they make you stronger. Then you can win an Emmy and think, ha, ha, ha.
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
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'm afraid of flying.
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
It's a great way to start the day, hearing you've been nominated for an Emmy. It's just thrilling.

If I could stomach the awful part of being a veterinarian, which involves sticking your hand up animals' behinds, I would be a vet.

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.
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
An agent said he didn't know what to do with me, I wouldn't be able to play any parts but lesbians and aliens.
Allison Janney
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
It's a challenge for me to make people like me. Maybe it's just my desperate need for people to like me, that I choose the characters I have to play. You will like me, I don't care what I've done, you're going to like me.
Allison Janney
I am lucky enough to have Aaron Sorkin write what I have to say.
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 trust other people to tell me if it's too far or tasteless, because there's not too much that I won't do. I like to push the limits. Obviously, that's more dangerous and more fun for everybody.
Allison Janney
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.
Allison Janney
I have the power of my height. Growing up, it was a total drawback. There was nothing good about it at all.
Allison Janney
I can access emotions very easily.
