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

More quotes by Lauren Graham
Actors should ACT. Not sell perfume, or write cookbooks.
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
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
All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100!
Lauren Graham
Anyone can smile on their best day. I like to meet a man who can smile on his WORST.
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
The best you can hope for is a great collaborator.
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
All TV shows are basically part of the same storyline.
Lauren Graham
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
Personally, all I ever want to be wearing are jeans.
Lauren Graham
Today is the day you have to start believing in yourself. No one can do it for you anymore.
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
It's also show business. It's not show fun friends.
Lauren Graham
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
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
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.
Lauren Graham
I'd pay more just to hear proper English and have everyone keep their clothes on
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
I could never have predicted the invention of streaming, the rerelease of the show Gilmore Girls on Netflix, and that people still wanted to hear about it. I do love how we came back to it, but it was never up to me. It won't be up to me this time, either. If it ended there, I would be sad, but I also like what we did.
Lauren Graham
