More quotes by Glenn Close

Glenn Close
Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That's basically what we do.
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
As an actor, I go where the good writing is. That's the bottom line.
Glenn Close
Good roles are hard to find no matter what age.

Glenn Close
All great art comes from a sense of outrage.
Glenn Close
I get bored talking about myself, but I can talk about the work.
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
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
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
It always amazes me to think that every house on every street is full of so many stories so many triumphs and tragedies, and all we see are yards and driveways.
Glenn Close
Taking power away from a man is a dangerous thing. Someone always pays.
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.
