I was the person who did academics until the middle of the day, then went on auditions. I think there was a moment later in my life where I was like, What am I doing? Why am I so serious? .

More quotes by Carla Gugino
I think that once somebody sees something, or feels it in the consciousness of society, it starts to allow change for other people.
Carla Gugino
I think I'm always trying to subvert conventions, and sometimes it's more successful than others.
Carla Gugino
As a creative person, you need to sort of spread your wings and try different things out because each one really does inform the other.
Carla Gugino
I love doing serious movies for adults.
Carla Gugino
I always feel like I want to work with people who raise my game, and I can do the same for them, and we can jump off the cliff together.
Carla Gugino
My tendency as an actor is, when there's a certain energy, I feel a challenge to match it, to come up to that plate and play on the same level.
Carla Gugino
Unfortunately, 'chick flick' has become a term to describe most movies that I don't even like. They're these movies that, yes, have women in them but they really don't reflect who women are, and there's something kind of silly or shallow or gossipy about them.
Carla Gugino
One of the most important things for an actor is to observe humanity.
Carla Gugino
I'm much more of a kid now than I was when I was a kid. I was the kind of kid who was valedictorian, a straight-A student. My mom used to say, Please stop studying and get outside.
Carla Gugino
When my friends have a health concern, they call me. Ive always been a vitamin taker. I also take digestive enzymes and antioxidants, and supplements that help with the thyroid and adrenals for my time-zone changes.
Carla Gugino
I always wanted to be one of those people who were good at many, many things, but from a very early age, I fell in love with acting.
Carla Gugino
I'll always take an artistic endeavor over a career move.
Carla Gugino
I find often in Hollywood there are many people who play themselves really beautifully. And certain parts are not that dissimilar from who you are as a person. And there are other parts where you would like to think that you have nothing in common with those characters, but you probably do have more than you think.
Carla Gugino
The interesting thing with acting, actually, is that you get to be so many different people that you get to do so much research on so many different things that I've learned so much about brain surgery and about astrophysicist-type of things and traveling to amazing parts of the world.
Carla Gugino
I always think a good sports movie is emblematic in the same way that a great Greek tragedy really has a certain kind of structure, or a Shakespearean play if you're looking at a comedy or a tragedy, is that these are the heights and depths of human emotion.
Carla Gugino
What I love about him [Robert Rodriguez] is that he understands that actors are transformational. It's a natural instinct to ask people to do what you've seen them do before. Until you see someone do something new, you don't know what they can.
Carla Gugino
I always had challenges when I was younger, because I looked so young but sounded older.
Carla Gugino
I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.
Carla Gugino
Sexuality is one of the biggest parts of who we are.
Carla Gugino
You know, I used to be made fun of as a kid for being really articulate it was sort of like a strange thing.
