More quotes by Amber Tamblyn
I think it's hard to be taken seriously as a poet, period.
Amber Tamblyn
My parents are artists, so I grew up with my mom having bonfires, seven guitars, and talented musicians and artists around like Jack Hirschman.
Amber Tamblyn
I have never reached certain levels of fame, like Lindsay Lohan did, or even Brittany Murphy. My career has always been this sort of even-keeled, steady existence. I was also raised by poets, and I've been doing poetry as long as I've been acting.

IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT TERRIFIES YOU, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
Amber Tamblyn
Just because you grow up in the public eye doesn't mean that you're immune to the same sort of issues and feelings that any other woman would go through.
Amber Tamblyn
My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.
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
I liked the humor of it, I've always enjoyed a sense of humor in God and in religion and in spirituality

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.
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
Aubrey obviously plays Karen's, Sarah Michelle Gellar's, younger sister. And, um, she's sort of always been the underdog in the family and somebody who is not as ambitious or driven as her sister, as Karen's character, so she's sort of always felt like she's had to follow in her sister's footsteps.
Amber Tamblyn
Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it
Amber Tamblyn
I haven't had a lot of celebrities around me growing up.
Amber Tamblyn
I think we, especially in American culture, are so afraid to talk about death. And I'm not talking about literal death. I'm talking about shedding skin. I'm talking about rebirth, ultimately, and how we continue to change as human beings and continue to grow. There's that great Henry Miller quote, All growth is a leap in the dark.
Amber Tamblyn
The poetry when I was a kid felt like something that I could control, and whether it failed or not, whether it was good or not, was totally on me and I could accept that. It was entirely mine.
Amber Tamblyn
A business like acting is 90% luck. You can be a star one minute and out of work the next
