More quotes by Anna Chlumsky
My family and school life are important to me.
Anna Chlumsky
A lot of movies treat kids like idiots.
Anna Chlumsky
I really don't like to do back-to-back movies. I concentrate on things at home. My family and school life are important to me. I try to do one movie a year.
Anna Chlumsky
An actor's responsibility is to play a character truthfully. That's their responsibility. That's where it ends. If they choose to use their reach and accessibility in order to further something that matters to them, that's their choice and that's great - but it's not for anybody to choose it for them.
Anna Chlumsky
I'm very happy to make specific choices (as an actor), (but) you can't be married to them because you never know when the writers are going to be like, By the way, you have no brothers, you have a sister.
Anna Chlumsky
I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole, but I don't watch politics for sport.
Anna Chlumsky
In order to satirize adequately, I think you need to bring people down to Earth and be like, 'Yeah, these people drink coffee and have tummy troubles and they go to the bathroom like anybody else, and they all have relationship problems, if they even have relationships.'
Anna Chlumsky
Day-to-day scheduling is always a conflict. You go, Oh, I want to go to that awards show because when am I ever going to do that again? But then you go, Yeah...except this other thing is more important. It's more the micro day-to-day stuff that becomes a daily task as opposed to worrying too much about the career.
Anna Chlumsky
I watched 'My Girl' as an adult pretty recently, and it's a good movie.
Anna Chlumsky
But here's the thing: I had this great job, and I would still feel terribly depressed. I would just be like, 'This isn't the sweet spot. I thought this would be it, and I don't feel happy.
Anna Chlumsky
People have good and bad days.
Anna Chlumsky
Even on the worst days I am without a doubt still happier doing this than I am doing anything else. On acting.
Anna Chlumsky
I don't have a Twitter account.
Anna Chlumsky
I only surround myself with people who are intellectually stimulating.
Anna Chlumsky
As actors we're supposed to be our character's advocate.
Anna Chlumsky
Kids are brought into show business because they are cute and see truth and they're very bright. But there's a sense of doing it because you want the adults to be approving of you. You want to make them happy.
Anna Chlumsky
I've been poked fun of throughout my career by fellow actors for my notes that I take. I have spiral notebooks that I carry with me on every project I do, and I take notes just so that if I have to relive a scene, if I have to go back, I know what I did.
Anna Chlumsky
It was more like having unwanted attention as a child - if you'd walk around, people would recognize you, and it would be in a weird, almost making-fun-type manner.
Anna Chlumsky
Keep in mind that there are computers, that do touch things up. Like when I got a hold of the poster for 'Gold Diggers,' I said: 'Hey, wait a minute! Those aren't my teeth!
Anna Chlumsky
Right now I'm just thinking about school and trying to get those grades and keep them up! In case I become a Norma Desmond when I grow up, I can have something to fall back on!
