More quotes by 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
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.

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

I'd like to make really important movies, like American Beauty. I was really proud to be a part of that movie.

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.

I love wasting time and learning to lip-sync to songs it's a silly hobby of mine.
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 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 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.

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 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 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 am lucky enough to have Aaron Sorkin write what I have to say.

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.

Annette Bening should've won Oscar for American Beauty. I mean, I know Hilary Swank was there, she was so great too... Annette deserves one. She better win. I'm an Academy voter, and I voted for her.
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
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.
