You know, comedy's hard. With drama, you have a responsibility to the emotional truth, but with comedy, you have emotional truth and you have technique on top of it.

More quotes by Julianne Moore
I'm not supposed to communicate something that's completely unrealistic.
Julianne Moore
People think that the directors direct actors. No. Really, what the director's doing is directing the audience's eye through the film.
Julianne Moore
What gives you pleasure and joy? Let those be the things that lead you forward in life.
Julianne Moore
Everybody has the right to marry the person they love and be represented as a couple and family... It's something that people will look back on in years to come and say, 'I can't believe it took so long for us to recognize this.' It'll be like segregation and giving women the right to vote.
Julianne Moore
One of the things that I love about L'Oréal is that it's accessible and aspirational. Beauty doesn't have to be a mystery, and it can be available to everybody. But it's also about accessing what is most innately human, what we think is attractive.
Julianne Moore
Men aren't asked about their children.
Julianne Moore
Loving someone is giving them the power to break your heart, but trusting them not to.
Julianne Moore
Comedy is ridiculously hard. And if the rhythm is not right, if the music or the line is not right, it's not funny.
Julianne Moore
There was a period of time in America where the advertising world actually went to the housewives of America and had them write jingles that would appeal to them. It was actually brilliant marketing.
Julianne Moore
My life may be a pretty crazy life at times, but its a very privileged one - being able to earn a good living doing what you love. Not many people have such an opportunity.
Julianne Moore
I think the thing about relationships is that you're always thinking Oh, it's going to go bad. [...] But then, it's the same thing that all the silly magazines say, Take time for yourselves. Go away.
Julianne Moore
We shouldn't require our politicians to be movie stars. Then again, we're all influenced by charisma. It's hard not to be. We all collectively fall for it.
Julianne Moore
I've heard it said that winning an Oscar means you live five years longer. If that's true I want to thank the academy because my husband is younger than me.
Julianne Moore
I still battle with my deeply boring diet of, essentially, yogurt and breakfast cereal and granola bars. I hate dieting. I hate having to do it to be the 'right' size. I'm hungry all the time. I think I'm a slender person, but the industry apparently doesn't. All actresses are hungry all the time, I think.
Julianne Moore
Life is full of compromises, and whether or not you're willing to negotiate.
Julianne Moore
I think imperfections are important, just as mistakes are important. You only get to be good by making mistakes, and you only get to be real by being imperfect.
Julianne Moore
I've always wanted to go where the work was or where I was wanted. The idea that it can be planned is one I let go of a long time ago.
Julianne Moore
I read a lot, I always read. I like to be inside a story. When I started acting, even in high school, it sort of felt like that's as close as you can get to being inside a book, and I feel that way even with movies more so, because you've kind of created this imaginary world, and everybody is colluding to create it.
Julianne Moore
The thing about 50 is that you've clearly reached a point where you have more of your life behind you than ahead of you, and that's a very different place to be in. You're thinking, 'I've done most of it.' I don't like that feeling. But it makes you evaluate your life and go, 'Am I doing what I want to do? Am I spending my time the way I want?'
Julianne Moore
I don't consider myself very brave in any sense. I'm interested in this kind of behavior. My job is to try to make it realistic and emotionally resonant. That's the most challenging thing, to bring emotional resonance to what you do as an actor.
Julianne Moore
