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.

More quotes by 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
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
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 like people trying to do two things at once.
Allison Janney
I can tell when men are threatened by my height.
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
The live aspect is so thrilling, I get nervous again. It's like going on stage.
Allison Janney
The pre-shoot days are so relaxed and fun and the writers are laughing. I love the rehearsal process.
Allison Janney
I think it was a subject matter that The Social Network didn't involve a lot of women. That's all I think it is.
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
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
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
I can access emotions very easily.
Allison Janney
I'm afraid of flying.
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
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.
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.
