More quotes by Amanda Peet
I would do a musical, but I can't sing.
Amanda Peet
They [Mark and Jay Duplass] both have young kids and talk about parenting all the time. So they get it. So they knew that it was a very delicate time and they knew that it was a lot. All it did was make me want to protect them from - and protect production from - any kind of burden.
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 love getting dressed up and having someone do my make-up and feeling pretty.
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
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
I'd love to work with Joan Cusack again - I'm obsessed with Joan Cusack.
Amanda Peet
If I had to give up cheese or chocolate, I'd give up chocolate in a heartbeat.
Amanda Peet
I think it took me a long time to realize that you can't really score unless someone passes you the ball. The older you get as a woman, it's fewer and far between. The material isn't there.
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
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
As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.
Amanda Peet
Whenever I was with Kevin Pollak, I had to leave the room.
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
When I read The Whole Nine Yards I was like, 'Okay, this is a G-spot role'.
Amanda Peet
I think once I was in high school - I had boyfriends and stuff like that, but I think when I was younger, I went through a period where I looked like a boy, and people thought I was a boy.
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.
Amanda Peet
Nancy has her vision and she's a formidable force to be reckoned with, and that's similar to most of the male directors I've worked with. The only difference is probably inbetween scenes, gossiping with Diane Keaton, Frances McDormand and Nancy Meyers about who's had Botox and who hasn't.
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 try to be really hippie about things. I'm uptight in all the ways that are really important, but the things my husband and family can benefit from my uptightness, I'm completely lacking.
Amanda Peet
