Cancer is so much bigger than a TV show.

I know what people want to hear is the connection with the son, Roger, when you have a child. I would love to tell that there was an epiphany as to what it is to be a mom, but I didn't feel any difference there.

I never felt like a happy-go-lucky ingenue to begin with. And parts are written better when you're older. When you're young, you're written to be an ingenue, and you're written to be a quality.

Our culture is set up on a feud mentality, or a Housewives mentality, that women just fight. And it's such a shallow way to exist as far as our evolution is concerned, and our culture is concerned. It's fun to watch women fight, in a storytelling way, but in the world, women shouldn't be seen as a threat to other women.

I had learning disabilities, and I couldn't express myself in the written word.
Laura Linney
Image
I'm always curious, but I'm learning things I never thought I'd learn. I get to travel to places I never thought I'd go.

Image
Fame didn't happen to me in my 20s, it has been a gradual thing which probably makes it easier to deal with.
Laura Linney
Image
I love working closely with people.
Laura Linney
Image
I've always thought that I'm sexy in my own right, but not in a way that people thought was bankable.

Image
To be too knowing is a downfall.

That's my favorite food group: donut. I love the donut.

Some big movies are terrific, and some aren't. They're made for different reasons, and they have different impacts and they're very different experiences making them. But if they're good, if you're with good people, then hooray.
