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.

More quotes by 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 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'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
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 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
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of the greatest films of all time.
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.
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'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 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
There's always a side of a woman that likes a man from the other side of the tracks
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
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
People have forever been interested in twins.
Laura Dern
I'm interested in flawed protagonists. I was raised on them.
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
I wanted to go to Jupiter. That was my plan from day one, and David Lynch gave me the ticket.
Laura Dern
The really courageous and bold thing is to make movies about human behaviour
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 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.
