I love working closely with people.
Laura Linney
Image
Collaboration. ... For me, it has informed every move I've ever made. And it saved me in many ways and still does. When things get hard, you can cling to the work.
Laura Linney
Image
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
Image
That's my favorite food group: donut. I love the donut.
Laura Linney
Image
I've always thought that I'm sexy in my own right, but not in a way that people thought was bankable.
Laura Linney
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Doing the right thing has power.
Laura Linney
Image
Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.
Laura Linney
Image
I had learning disabilities, and I couldn't express myself in the written word.
Laura Linney
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Cancer is so much bigger than a TV show.
Laura Linney
Image
Ask why until there is no more why.
Laura Linney
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.
