More quotes by Laura Linney
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
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.

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 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.

Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.
Laura Linney
I think everyone's journey through this crazy, weird, wild, wonderful area of work named acting is really their own. And if you're going for something that isn't yours, you're wasting time. You could be focused on your own work instead of thinking about somebody else.
Laura Linney
I'm very hard on my bags because I tend to carry a lot of stuff with me.
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
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
Cancer is so much bigger than a TV show.
Laura Linney
I love actors, regardless of where they are in their skill level. There's something terribly satisfying about working with someone who's really learning.
Laura Linney
I don't think you should exploit your own pain.
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.
