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.

You can ask any set decorator on any set where I've had to be in an office, I always kind of claim it - I put Post-its everywhere, and I kind of make it look lived-in.
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
I only surround myself with people who are intellectually stimulating.
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.

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.

Show business got really tainted for me.

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.

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.

I didn't want to go down any scarier path of low self-esteem than I was already on the track for. So during my second year of college I was like, 'I'm over it! I have to go see what this other thing called life is about!
Anna Chlumsky
Some people are really good at their jobs, some people are really bad.
Anna Chlumsky
It was easy for me to leave acting for school, because I wasn't really in it as an adolescent for fulfilling reasons.
Anna Chlumsky
When I graduated from college I thought I was over with show business and was pursuing other things.
Anna Chlumsky
First, I was a fact checker for Zagat and then I was an editorial assistant for HarperCollins publishing house.
Anna Chlumsky
My family and school life are important to me.

I watched 'My Girl' as an adult pretty recently, and it's a good movie.
Anna Chlumsky
People look to you to replace a part in their lives that they can't get back. You can't get the past back, you can't do it. We've all tried.
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
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!
Anna Chlumsky
I had no idea of the size of my bank account as a teen, and I didn't care to know. That was my mom's job, I figured that I would just find out when I turned 18. If you can't trust your mom, then who can you trust?

I love... anything in black and white. Just put it on the TV, I'll watch.
