Quote

It's always nice when you do something and it's well received as opposed to the other way which God knows happens to everybody. When the good times come around, you take a deep breath, appreciate it, but not take it too seriously.

Some people's personalities are so compelling that they command attention.
Laura Linney
Image
Most scripts are written to be green lit. They're not written to be acted. And a lot of writers with the greatest intention in the world don't write for actors. They don't understand the architecture of what an actor needs to get from point A to point B.

Doing the right thing has power.

I've always thought that I'm sexy in my own right, but not in a way that people thought was bankable.

I get cold - really cold - when I travel.

What people can survive and what they don't survive is shocking to me. Someone can go to Iraq and be blown to bits and survive. Someone can trip and fall on the street and they die - that's that.

When you're dying, you're liberated to do what you want to do. You give yourself permission. I think everyone's experience with a terminal disease is so deeply personal and unique to the person, the context in which they're living and the relationships that they have.

I love working closely with people.

When your life is being threatened there's an instinctive urge to fight. You fight for the time you have, for your relationships.
Laura Linney
Image
I am very lucky, because for the most part people are very nice to me, and I am still able to go about my life and ride the subway and all that.
Laura Linney
Image
I still know I have an awful lot to learn, and I hope I'm put in whatever situation it is that's gonna help me learn it, or that I'll get to watch really good people do what they do.
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.
Laura Linney
Image
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. You're actually not written to be a person, you're written for your youth to inspire someone else, usually a man. So I find it just much more liberating.

Tanning is tricky, because a lot of people just look orange.

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.
