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.

More quotes by Lauren Graham
All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100!
Lauren Graham
None of my characters have really had jobs.
Lauren Graham
Maybe I should sit. Plenty of people use sitting as a way to pass the time.
Lauren Graham
If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now.
Lauren Graham
I've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life.
Lauren Graham
I'd pay more just to hear proper English and have everyone keep their clothes on
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
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
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
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
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
Lauren Graham
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.
Lauren Graham
I would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.
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
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
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
If you do have something you love to do, the fun part of the job is no different than what was fun about doing it in high school for no money. I thought there would be some greater reward in succeeding.
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
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
