More quotes by Allison Janney
It's hard to describe to people how terrible it was when you could only watch cartoons at a certain time in your life.
Allison Janney
It was terrifying when Aaron Sorkin announced that he was leaving West Wing, he and Tommy Schlamme. We felt like our parents were abandoning us. It was a tremendously sad day and I'm sure I will never understand exactly all the reasons why that happened.
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
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
I got offered that role in Transamerica that Felicity Huffman did. That was a part that I was like, Well, maybe I should've done that. I'm at peace with it, but that is one thing that I did turn down that went on to do great things for her. I wonder what would've happened if I would've done that.
Allison Janney
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.
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
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.
Allison Janney
It is a very difficult job, being the servant of two masters.
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 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
The pre-shoot days are so relaxed and fun and the writers are laughing. I love the rehearsal process.
Allison Janney
I'm afraid of flying.
Allison Janney
I guess my height has hurt me as much as it's helped me. In comedy people don't mind casting tall women next to shorter men. It adds to the humour.
Allison Janney
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.
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
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
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.
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 can access emotions very easily.
