We like our archetypes and heroes to be what they are at face value. And life doesn't work out like that
Laura Dern

It's very easy to get caught up in - there's a hype going on now that I haven't seen in years, and it's actually more about press than it is about an actor's work or what films they've been in.
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
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.
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
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 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
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of the greatest films of all time.
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
When man decides he can control nature, he's in deep trouble
Laura Dern
I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. It's not like, I don't make studio films I work for David Lynch and maybe a few American Playhouse directors, but that's it - I'd love to do a box-office hit.
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.
