All TV shows are basically part of the same storyline.

Maybe I should sit. Plenty of people use sitting as a way to pass the time.

Like my dad, I have a Christmas party most years. I like to celebrate and see as many people as possible.

I personally was driven to be an actor for the love of telling a story. It was very closely linked to being a reader as a kid and being transported by literature and art. It had nothing - zero - to do with anything resembling fame.

It's also show business. It's not show fun friends.

I would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.

The best you can hope for is a great collaborator.

All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100!

Well, it's more of a sane life to be part of an ensemble! I find that the work can be more specific too and I have to really make sure I know where I am in the story because I'm not in every scene.

Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can't find his car keys, much less keep a national secret.

I am here to tell you there's nothing in people knowing you. There's actually a loss in that! Really, the reward in life is genuinely the day of work you have. It's not the name you're making for yourself or the clicks and likes - it's such an illusion.

None of my characters have really had jobs.

Image
I've spent a lot of time wondering, What's going to happen? What's going to happen? I try not to allow myself to do that much anymore. I think ive gotten more comfortable with the unknown.

The thing I don't like on television is when somebody does something that makes absolutely no sense just for the shock of it.
Lauren Graham
Image
I must work harder to achieve my goal of not seeking approval from those whose approval I'm not even sure is important to me.
Lauren Graham
Image
That's the thing that always stuck out to me - the idea that quantity becomes quality. I always took it to mean if you do anything enough, if you keep putting effort in, eventually something will happen, with or without you. You don't have to have faith when you start out, you just have to dedicate yourself to practice as if you have it.

We're all working hard, but so far away from what we actually want to be doing. We're all peering in at the window of a party we aren't invited to yet, a party we wouldn't know how to dress for, or what kind of conversation to make, even if we came as someone's guest.

The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.

Today is the day you have to start believing in yourself. No one can do it for you anymore.

As I've gotten older, I've gotten more liberal, and my father is increasingly conservative. It's so shocking to me because I always thought we had the same politics. The day I realized we voted for different presidents, I practically fell out of my chair.
