More quotes by 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
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 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.
Laura Linney
I love working closely with people.
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 always laugh to myself when I listen to some really big A-list star saying that they are just a normal person.

What I love about a play is that it's such an investment because only time can create a lot of what happens onstage.
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.
Laura Linney
A magnetic personality doesn't necessarily indicate a good heart.
Laura Linney
I've always thought that I'm sexy in my own right, but not in a way that people thought was bankable.
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 don't think you should exploit your own pain.
Laura Linney
Cancer is so much bigger than a TV show.
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
I certainly didn't have a nanny.
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
Tanning is tricky, because a lot of people just look orange.
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.
