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.

More quotes by 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'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.
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
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 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
People have forever been interested in twins.
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
I'm interested in flawed protagonists. I was raised on them.
Laura Dern
There's always a side of a woman that likes a man from the other side of the tracks
Laura Dern
I went to a Catholic school. The private school was good - the teachers wanted all of us to have the freedom to think for ourselves. The education was good at the Catholic school, but you only got that one ideology.
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
The really courageous and bold thing is to make movies about human behaviour
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 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
I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend [Billy Bob Thorton] got married, and I've never heard from him again.
Laura Dern
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of the greatest films of all time.
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
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 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
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.
