More quotes by Cynthia Nixon
[My mother] was taking me to Shakespeare In The Park when I was like 6. There was just a lot of theater-going and a lot of movie-going and a lot of discussion about it afterwards, dissecting it and stuff.
Cynthia Nixon
You have people like Sarah Jessica Parker - and it's also because of her mother and where she came from and all that stuff - but how you're taught to be responsible for yourself rather than endlessly people waiting for you and bringing you things.

The panelists on To Tell The Truth, which is the one that I really knew, they cared about getting it right. They wanted to guess, you know? Although, when I was on as a contestant, the one time I was on as a contestant, apparently they had a rule, which was that when children were on, everybody would get a vote - and Kitty Carlisle voted for me.

I go for my completely routine mammogram and then I get a call from my gynecologist. And she says, 'Well, I have some - it's not such great news, but here it is, but it's very small and we're just going to get in there and take it right out, right away, and then you'll probably have radiation.'
Cynthia Nixon
Some friends of mine who are actors feel directing shuts them down and kills all their impulses, but the worst thing for me is if I feel a director hasn't noticed.
Cynthia Nixon
Cancer is really hard to go through and it's really hard to watch someone you love go through, and I know because I have been on both sides of the equation.
Cynthia Nixon
I had a lumpectomy. It wasn't that bad. Six and a half weeks of radiation.

Cynthia Nixon
There are no available men in their thirties in New York. Giuliani had them removed along with the homeless.
Cynthia Nixon
Nancy Reagan, when presented with kids with really painful disabilities and deformities, she was completely undaunted.
Cynthia Nixon
Nancy Reagan actually took some movies that she didn't want to take because they were [with Ronald Reagan] really strapped for cash.
Cynthia Nixon
I did an after-school special as my first big thing. It was starring Butterfly McQueen. She was the name. But the real star of it was Robbie Rist, who was that little blond kid who looked like John Denver.
Cynthia Nixon
I find that vegetables like butternut squash, which I feel unexcited about as a side dish, I'm thrilled to eat in a soup.
Cynthia Nixon
I always sort of thought, 'I'm probably going to get breast cancer. There's a really good chance.'
Cynthia Nixon
It was weird to be in a movie that's very clearly a period piece like Killing Reagan, but that's about a time that's within my own memory. That's really weird. And conscious memory, not just vague.
Cynthia Nixon
I don't have Steve. There is no having the Steve.
Cynthia Nixon
Gay people who want to marry have no desire to redefine marriage in any way. When women got the right to vote, it did not redefine voting.
Cynthia Nixon
I feel like when I really did my research, I both came to hate Nancy Reagan more.
Cynthia Nixon
I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me around that woke up or that came out of the closet there wasn't a struggle, there wasn't an attempt to suppress.
Cynthia Nixon
[My mother] worked in the Seagram's Building it's kind of an iconic '60s skyscraper on a floor so high that your ears popped. And all the women - the whole thing was so very Mad Men, very glamorous.
