More quotes by Anna Chlumsky
I don't let it bother me too much if someone doesn't like me. I just figure there's no accounting for taste. It's not me, it's my acting. It's like if someone doesn't like someone's food, they just don't like my acting.

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.

The big difference with the recognition is that when I go on an audition, I don't feel like they're testing my abilities as much as they're just seeing if it's a fit. So that's nice.

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.

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
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
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!

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

I watched 'My Girl' as an adult pretty recently, and it's a good movie.

Even on the worst days I am without a doubt still happier doing this than I am doing anything else. On acting.

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'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.
