More quotes by Amber Tamblyn
Other people like Neil Young and Dennis Hopper, those are just really close knit family friends.
Amber Tamblyn
After I saw my first poem published, I became interested in the immortalization of words and the fact that you could put something out there that you felt and that meant something to you, and that it could be interpreted by many different people to mean many different things.
Amber Tamblyn
My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.

IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT TERRIFIES YOU, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
Amber Tamblyn
Because the role-model pressure becomes so insane, the personal and private takes a backseat to whatever it takes to maintain that fame and to maintain that lifestyle, and before you know it you're not a human being anymore.
Amber Tamblyn
But I didn't even see God in the show as being very spiritual, I see him or her, it, as being something that is just relevant and very important in her life.
Amber Tamblyn
A lot of people think I'm cynical when I talk about acting. The truth of the matter is, I just don't want someone to get some lame advice that will send them in the wrong direction
Amber Tamblyn
I remember when I first started in the business, I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous, some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.
Amber Tamblyn
If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have
Amber Tamblyn
My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.
Amber Tamblyn
Feminism? The word itself means exactly the same thing to me as the word God does - it's a spirituality that is deeply personal, deeply subjective, and deeply no one else's business. You can identify the word however you want, it's just the non-exploration of it that is unacceptable to me.
Amber Tamblyn
I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that
Amber Tamblyn
I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God
Amber Tamblyn
A business like acting is 90% luck. You can be a star one minute and out of work the next
Amber Tamblyn
A lot of young poets today, from what I've heard and experienced, can't get their heads past George W. Bush, and I've heard so many poems about this democracy and this era of politics that I'm kind of bored by it
Amber Tamblyn
One of my good friends is Christian, goes to church every Sunday, very religious. I'm fine with that and I will never judge her.
Amber Tamblyn
My advice is to make acting your second career choice
Amber Tamblyn
For most women, whether you're an actress or whatever you do, there is this pressure in society and within the world to look a certain way, dress a certain way, act a certain way, say certain things, and be this idea as opposed to being a person.
Amber Tamblyn
When people ask me what I do for a living, I always say, I get rejected for a living. And that's true.

I tried not to make God this big deal in Joan's life. She treats God like a friend: she's nice to him some days, and other days mean, and then cries when she needs help.
