More quotes by Amanda Peet
When I read The Whole Nine Yards I was like, 'Okay, this is a G-spot role'.
Amanda Peet
I wrote a play before that and it never saw the light of day. And then I started working on this play and it came out really quickly. Eventually I got it, and I wrote a letter to Sarah Jessica Parker and she wanted to do it. So that's how it happened.
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
As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.
Amanda Peet
Well, my mom is single and we've both been single at the same time over the last ten years, so I really related to the bond between my character and Diane's.
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
He can't even be at a casual read and not be creating the whole thing in his mind. I remember feeling very awed about how much he still seems to be so in love with it, and so dedicated to making everything really real and really spontaneous.
Amanda Peet
I'd love to work with Joan Cusack again - I'm obsessed with Joan Cusack.
Amanda Peet
I would have done anything. I just really love the Duplass brothers. I was at a place where I was desperate for good writing. It wasn't the part that attracted me to it it was just to be able to work with them. And the fact that she's this kind of, like, loose cannon and this kind of desperate 40-year-old is just the icing on the cake.
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
I love getting dressed up and having someone do my make-up and feeling pretty.
Amanda Peet
I'm still trying to write. I wrote a play a few years ago, so I'm trying to start writing again. The play was called The Commons Of Pensacola. It was at MTC [Manhattan Theatre Club] with Sarah Jessica Parker and Blythe Danner. It was kind of like a riff on Ruth Madoff.
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
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 think children should be vaccinated because that affects the health of all the other children.
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
If you're not willing to sound stupid you don't deserve to be in love.
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
