More quotes by Elisabeth Shue
I feel like my first conversation with someone, I really get a good feeling about who that person is and mainly about how open they are.
Elisabeth Shue
It took a lot to get attention in my family. No wonder I'm an actress.
Elisabeth Shue
I see myself at a certain age as not being able to play the kind of parts that would keep me stimulated, and I can't imagine my life ending professionally the moment that I've got to go to the plastic surgeon and have my face rearranged.
Elisabeth Shue
I try really hard to give my kids as much independence as I can, caring mostly about their character: Are they kind? Generous? Do they work hard?
Elisabeth Shue
As the only girl growing up among three brothers, I was always afraid of being excluded. If there was a game to be played, a sport to be learned, a competition to join, I was on my feet and ready. I didn't spend much time alone for fear that I'd miss out.
Elisabeth Shue
I spent my whole life trying to play the games males play.
Elisabeth Shue
I became disconnected from the childlike play that art could be. I spent so much time fearing I wasn't good enough that I lost the sense that my artistic expression was worthy.
Elisabeth Shue
It would be really wonderful if people connected to the loneliness of what it means to be a human being in the world today.
Elisabeth Shue
My mom had started to go to work when I was nine or ten, so I was aware of women trying to find their own identities by working. But I was still influenced by men to such an extreme. I wanted to play their games and wanted to compete in their world and be like them.
Elisabeth Shue
Everyone at 'CSI' has been so great to work with, and so great in terms of scheduling. There's a real feeling of family on that set... I've grown to have so much respect for the cast and crew - they're been together so many years and still care about the show and each other.
Elisabeth Shue
The darker, more complex and emotional the part is, the easier it is for me. But I don't take any of that stuff home with me at the end of the day.
Elisabeth Shue
Every experience makes you grow.
Elisabeth Shue
After Leaving Las Vegas I did assume that things would get a lot easier than they've been. But it's just been a mirror of the way my career's been from the beginning, so for it to have changed would have been strange. My career has never been perfect.
Elisabeth Shue
Almost six years ago, before I was given the incredible opportunity to be in 'Leaving Las Vegas,' I was going through a long period of artistic confusion. I'd spent years doing work that hadn't pushed me enough, and I was beginning to wonder if I had any talent.
Elisabeth Shue
I understand now that the vulnerability I've always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can't experience life without feeling life. What I've learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness, it's a strength.
Elisabeth Shue
I have worked with another first-time director who was not that open, and it was probably one of the worst experiences I ever had, so my antennas are really out.
Elisabeth Shue
I really love 'Soapdish.' I wish 'Soapdish' had more of a moment because I felt that that is a really strong, funny movie. Kevin Kline is hilarious in that movie.
Elisabeth Shue
Growing up with three boys in a heavily male-dominated world, I especially needed to express myself as a woman.
Elisabeth Shue
I don't have high expectations anymore. Maybe they've just been beaten out of me.
Elisabeth Shue
After three major movies, I was like, 'Oh, I guess you're supposed to get a publicist?' Girls that are in the business now that are successful are more savvy.
