More quotes by Glenn Close
I've always felt that an independent film is a film that almost doesn't get made.
Glenn Close
And the writers are good in that it's easy to memorize, and good writing has an innate rhythm to it. And I've always felt that it's easier to get in your head than writing that has very kind of mind busting moments.
Glenn Close
I think having pets helps sensitize people to the natural world.
Glenn Close
I've been sacrificing my life for my work for 30 years, and now I want it the other way around. I want to find work that fits into my life and that would be based here.
Glenn Close
I grew up with a house full of dogs. My mother was a great nature lover and taught us to have almost a religious sense of respect for the natural world.
Glenn Close
And when you're with a great crew like we had, it becomes a thrilling, again, collaboration, which is to me one of the great aspects of the process that you go through. I find myself at this point in my career, getting potentially, incredibly bored if I stand around a lot, so that's why I really like the pace of television.
Glenn Close
Taking power away from a man is a dangerous thing. Someone always pays.
Glenn Close
Just play the moment, that's the fun of it. You just play the moment. It's great writing and very clever writing, I think it's witty. And I have those great clothes. You have a great, witty, intelligent script and you look like a million dollars, because we have a great costumer, and it's a pretty good place to begin.
Glenn Close
As far as the difference for me between television and movies, I really thrill to the pace of television. As exhausting as it can be - there was actually one day when we never went to bed.
Glenn Close
What's so fascinating about people is what they don't show. People are masters at it usually actors show too much.
Glenn Close
I think there are certain actors that have that kind of energy about them, that taking over a room energy.
Glenn Close
The mentally ill frighten and embarrass us. And so we marginalize the people who most need our acceptance. What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, more unashamed conversation.
Glenn Close
And those moments that I find mind busting. Meaning like there's a word that I find in a weird place. I love the process of going to the writer and working that out, because that's just basic communication.
Glenn Close
When you're on the set, and sometimes, because it's been so complex and the writers have been really writing, sometimes up until the last minute... And you kind of sit back you separate yourself from your brain, and you say, let me see if you can do this. And that's the kind of challenge I like.
Glenn Close
I love histories. I love learning. I love books that talk about people who made a real impact on history, because it always has to do with who they were at that time and what their personalities were like and what their strengths and weaknesses were.
Glenn Close
I knew the term Stepford Wife, and I knew what that meant. I never read the book, and I think before I started filming I watched the movie. I thought it was very dated.
Glenn Close
The word diva has a negative connotation.
Glenn Close
People think that the ocean is big enough to sustain anything we throw at it - its hard to get into your head that it's actually finite.
Glenn Close
When you're playing a man, you can look tired and horrible and you still look okay. As a woman, if you're tired, it's terrible. It was such a luxury not having to worry about that.
Glenn Close
I think the diva is kind of a cliche. My definition of a diva is somebody whose talent does not match what they're trying to play, so all this temperament comes out.
Glenn Close
