More quotes by Laura Linney
I always laugh to myself when I listen to some really big A-list star saying that they are just a normal person.
Laura Linney
What I love about a play is that it's such an investment because only time can create a lot of what happens onstage.
Laura Linney
I think the way we talk about cancer has really evolved. I remember the way my grandmother used to talk about it, like a death sentence, no-one would even mention the word.
Laura Linney
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
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.
Laura Linney
I've always thought that I'm sexy in my own right, but not in a way that people thought was bankable.
Laura Linney
People have to look to the right places for guidance. Looking at a certain type of entertainment shouldn't be where you go for guidance. To zone out, have a laugh, sure - but it's not a great example on how to navigate on a journey. There are other places to look.

My parents were divorced and I would spend weekends with my father.
Laura Linney
My family is from the South, and I can remember all those ladies I grew up with, like my great-aunts, who had handkerchiefs. There's something sweet about them.
Laura Linney
Things get complicated at times, so there are certainly moments when you wish your life were different. That's true for everybody, not just people in our profession. But there's nothing I feel like I gave up professionally. I'm absolutely doing what I enjoy.
Laura Linney
I get cold - really cold - when I travel.
Laura Linney
A magnetic personality doesn't necessarily indicate a good heart.
Laura Linney
The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.
Laura Linney
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.
Laura Linney
I'm very hard on my bags because I tend to carry a lot of stuff with me.
Laura Linney
My castings sort of go in phases. There'll be several icy professional parts - a lawyer or a cop. And then there'll be the intelligent-but-wounded group and then the period things. It goes in sequence.
Laura Linney
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
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.
Laura Linney
Tanning is tricky, because a lot of people just look orange.
Laura Linney
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.
Laura Linney
