More quotes by 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.

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.

My parents were divorced and I would spend weekends with my father.
Laura Linney
What I hope in my ideal world is that with each project, I'll either get to work with a really great script that would force me to grow, or work with a really great actor who will make me better.
Laura Linney
I had learning disabilities, and I couldn't express myself in the written word.
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
Some people's personalities are so compelling that they command attention.
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
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.

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
I certainly didn't have a nanny.

I get cold - really cold - when I travel.
Laura Linney
To be too knowing is a downfall.
