More quotes by 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
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of the greatest films of all time.
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
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
I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.
Laura Dern
When man decides he can control nature, he's in deep trouble
Laura Dern
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.
Laura Dern
I'm interested in human nature. That's why I chose to become an actor. Whatever people are struggling with, the struggle is often where the drama is.
Laura Dern
I would say Steven Spielberg is family to me. He's a genius. We survived a hurricane together. I ran from half-puppet,half-nothing creatures. It was months of our life as family. It was the wildest film, Jurassic Park, I'd ever worked on that way.
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
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
Laura Dern
I'd never done nudity in a movie I've never sort of condoned it for myself, but David Lynch wanted it, and I was completely comfortable with it because that love story was so protected. There's never a moment where you feel anything is exploited.
Laura Dern
I study Carl Jung, who talks a lot about the shadow side, the repressed side. I think the scariest thing in the world is repression. There's plenty to be idealistic about, but we have to be aware of all sides of ourselves, and there are definitely shadows in all of us.
Laura Dern
As someone who has been asked to ask David Lynch what his movies mean for 25 years, I'm very careful about asking artists what their art means.
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
We like our archetypes and heroes to be what they are at face value. And life doesn't work out like that
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
People have forever been interested in twins.
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
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
