I really don't consider myself to be a conventional Hollywood star. I've never really been marketed by the big studios to do mass market box office films.

More quotes by Laura Dern
I had a good understating about press: that it's the actor's responsibility to publicize his or her films, that the press can be fun, that it's not about hyping yourself into stardom or trying to sell yourself as a hot ticket. I think a lot of young actors now are getting caught up in that.
Laura Dern
You're not directing an actor toward a thing they can't achieve. Because direction is elusive. When directors hold respect for the various craftsmen and -women who are telling the story, it's the greatest result. I think people do their bravest work when given an elusive canvas.
Laura Dern
What do you say when someone has truly inspired you? How do you express to an artist how deeply their work has affected you?
Laura Dern
When you're playing someone who has a strong ego about themselves, you can't play them when you have the opposite opinion of the one they have of themselves.
Laura Dern
When I started dating I had relationships with people who came from families that weren't at all artistic or whatever, and they didn't understand how to communicate. I find that so boring.
Laura Dern
Wild at Heart made a few people angry-they thought I was exploiting women by showing that when a woman says no she really means yes.
Laura Dern
I'm very connected to my own family, and maybe I like to explore the feelings that come up in families. I'm fortunate that my parents taught me to look further into why I might feel a certain way it was normal to expose things.
Laura Dern
I love comedy. David's Lynch the only person I've worked with more than once who sees me as a specific thing - he sees me as the sexy bimbo, in ways, and he also sees me as Lucille Ball. Actually, Nick Cage and I did Lucy and Ricky in two scenes in Wild at heart that were cut because the movie was four hours long.
Laura Dern
I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. I'd love to do a box-office hit.
Laura Dern
We like our archetypes and heroes to be what they are at face value. And life doesn't work out like that
Laura Dern
My mother opened a bank account for me when I made $60 on my first day of work as an extra. She's that kind of mother.
Laura Dern
Whatever character you play, it gives you the chance to expose another side of yourself that maybe you've never felt comfortable with, or never knew about
Laura Dern
I knew you had to go in and audition and maybe they'd hire you, and that's where you start. I had a good understanding about press: that it's the actor's responsibility to publicize his or her films.

When man decides he can control nature, he's in deep trouble
Laura Dern
I wanted to go to Jupiter. That was my plan from day one, and David Lynch gave me the ticket.
Laura Dern
I do think my mother was a bit overprotective, not in any sordid way, but just normally. She certainly might say to me, You know, Laura, I don't have a good feeling about that guy. I don't know if I want you to go out with him.
Laura Dern
I love to rescue animals.... The pounds were so crowded they were putting animals down almost immediately. Seven thousand dogs were put to sleep.
Laura Dern
The really courageous and bold thing is to make movies about human behaviour
Laura Dern
People have forever been interested in twins.
Laura Dern
It sounds like a cliché, but mother is really one of my closest friends, and so's my dad. He and I weren't very close when I was younger, but now we're best friends.
