More quotes by 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
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
None of my characters have really had jobs.
Lauren Graham
It's also show business. It's not show fun friends.
Lauren Graham
I'd pay more just to hear proper English and have everyone keep their clothes on
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've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life.
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
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 just don't know that a TV show demands a movie ending.
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
Personally, all I ever want to be wearing are jeans.
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
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 would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.
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
Today is the day you have to start believing in yourself. No one can do it for you anymore.
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.
