More quotes by 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 always laugh to myself when I listen to some really big A-list star saying that they are just a normal person.
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.
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
I'm very hard on my bags because I tend to carry a lot of stuff with me.
Laura Linney
Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.
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
Tanning is tricky, because a lot of people just look orange.
Laura Linney
To be too knowing is a downfall.
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
Cancer is so much bigger than a TV show.
Laura Linney
I don't think you should exploit your own pain.
Laura Linney
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
The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.
Laura Linney
Doing the right thing has power.
Laura Linney
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.
Laura Linney
I get cold - really cold - when I travel.
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 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
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.
