I don't have the body or the face for romantic comedies, so I've never been offered those. The challenge is that a lot of people see you only as your last character, so you're constantly competing with whatever your last movie was.

More quotes by Glenn Close
I really hope it engenders a lot of conversation because I believe there are a lot of people who put on faces. We all do it, every time we walk out the door. And there are a lot of people who have to hide who they are. And I think this story speaks to that.
Glenn Close
I don't think the tabloids find me very interesting.
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
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
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
I think there are certain actors that have that kind of energy about them, that taking over a room energy.
Glenn Close
I've always felt that an independent film is a film that almost doesn't get made.
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
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
It is an odd paradox that a society, which can now speak openly and unabashedly about topics that were once unspeakable, still remains largely silent when it comes to mental illness.
Glenn Close
All great art comes from a sense of outrage.
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
As an actor, I go where the good writing is. That's the bottom line.
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
Good roles are hard to find no matter what age.
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
I think having pets helps sensitize people to the natural world.
Glenn Close
There are a lot of big spec houses now all across Connecticut, a lot of ostentatious showing of wealth.
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.
