More quotes by Lauren Graham
Personally, all I ever want to be wearing are jeans.
Lauren Graham
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.
Lauren Graham
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.
Lauren Graham
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
Lauren Graham
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.
Lauren Graham
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.
Lauren Graham
I didn't grow up identifying with beauty. I grew up thinking I could be smart and funny - those are the things I got feedback on.
Lauren Graham
Actors should ACT. Not sell perfume, or write cookbooks.
Lauren Graham
As actors we always say that once the person in a scene gets what they want, the scene is over. It's resolved. But life is never resolved - you're always in the process.
Lauren Graham
Like my dad, I have a Christmas party most years. I like to celebrate and see as many people as possible.
Lauren Graham
The best part of getting to do what you like is just doing it. That doesn't have to do with being famous or even successful or even powerful. I see people in life who are just doing a job and seem to be having a good time. And that's the trick.
Lauren Graham
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
It's also show business. It's not show fun friends.
Lauren Graham
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.
Lauren Graham
The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.
Lauren Graham
Texting is not flirting, if you don't care about me enough to say the words than that's not love, I don't like it!
Lauren Graham
I think there's more pressure to stand out in a way that is measurable externally. The fame culture is definitely way worse and weirder than it was when we were in high school.
Lauren Graham
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.
Lauren Graham
All TV shows are basically part of the same storyline.
Lauren Graham
I have to introduce the part of me that feels like a winner to the part of me convinced I’m a loser, and see if they can’t agree to exist somewhere closer to the middle.
Lauren Graham
