More quotes by Amanda Peet
I think getting drunk is the key to flying comfortably. A couple of bloody marys or several glasses of champagne, and suddenly it's like you're on a roller coaster.
Amanda Peet
You have to put your own oxygen mask before you put on others... It's a good metaphor for parenting
Amanda Peet
I don't read reviews, as a rule. I can't, because I can't control myself. But I've heard that [the Duplasses] were happy, so that's good.
Amanda Peet
I think when you're a bigger star you get many good scripts sent to you, and you have to choose which one you're going to gravitate toward, but I just try to gravitate toward the best-written one that's been thrown my way after a lot of girls have passed on it.
Amanda Peet
Whenever I was with Kevin Pollak, I had to leave the room.
Amanda Peet
I think network television is really hard because it has to sail right away. HBO's so much more nurturing, patient. They think it takes a while for a show to kind of congeal and figure out what its strong spots are.
Amanda Peet
I don't clean, I don't make the bed. I spend my salary. I worry a lot. I just don't worry about socks on the floor.

As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.
Amanda Peet
There aren't many roles that are interesting if you're a 40-year-old woman, unless you're Julia Roberts or Cate Blanchett.
Amanda Peet
When I read The Whole Nine Yards I was like, 'Okay, this is a G-spot role'.
Amanda Peet
I have a feeling there is no ideal situation, unless she could go back in time and be 22 again. I think some of it is just kind of the shock of realizing that you're approaching middle age, or that you are middle-aged and kind of coming to terms with that in whatever incremental ways.
Amanda Peet
I would do a musical, but I can't sing.
Amanda Peet
Although arguably, it's my job to dig deep whether I'm improvising or not. It's just their style. That's the way they feel like they get what they want. I mean, they're really good storytellers, so I love being in their hands.
Amanda Peet
If you take Cheers and Seinfeld and watch the early shows, they're kind of awkward. It took a while for the writers and everything to gel.
Amanda Peet
I'd love to work with Joan Cusack again - I'm obsessed with Joan Cusack.
Amanda Peet
They talk about a lot of different things, but I think they definitely have the same school of thought as my husband [Games Of Thrones creator David Benioff], which is that the difference between being a writer and not being a writer is finishing.
Amanda Peet
Someone with a figure like Jennifer Aniston has a trainer, a cook spinning out some version of the latest diet, and probably a stop at the tanning salon.
Amanda Peet
I usually try on at least 20 pairs of jeans before I find something that looks good on me. And even then, I have a trustworthy friend tell me if my butt looks big!
