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.

More quotes by 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 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
I like people trying to do two things at once.
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
The pre-shoot days are so relaxed and fun and the writers are laughing. I love the rehearsal process.
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
I'm the worst speller on the planet. I'm so glad for spellcheck on my phone.

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
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
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 can access emotions very easily.
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
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 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'd like to make really important movies, like American Beauty. I was really proud to be a part of that movie.
Allison Janney
Great drama is all about conflict, and what's a better conflict than Republican-Democrat?
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.
Allison Janney
It is a very difficult job, being the servant of two masters.
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
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.
