More quotes by Laura Linney
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.

The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.

Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.

Laura Linney
I'm not someone who likes to have my picture taken, let alone see it plastered all over the place.
Laura Linney
I love working closely with people.
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.

Cancer is so much bigger than a TV show.
Laura Linney
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.
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
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.
