More quotes by Mary-Louise Parker
Unless you got a really good reason, you should be nice.
Mary-Louise Parker
I'm not saying pot is a bad thing. I know plenty of people who should be smoking pot. I'm just not one of those people. I don't think it would be the best drug for me. What am I going to do, start doing drugs at my age? It's a little late. I'm a mother of two. It's probably not the best idea for me to start getting into it now.
Mary-Louise Parker
We're dodging bullets and this is right after we've just seen [inaudible] shot and we're running and the woman who John accused of being out to kill us and everyone thought he was kidding. When we see her she appears and she's after us.
Mary-Louise Parker
I'm just damseling mostly. I'm not very good with a gun.
Mary-Louise Parker
I put a lot of stock in the written word, and the power of it. That's what I love about acting and reading scripts. Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones.

Mediocrity is underrated.

I have to say, I haven't really worked with that many people in my career that I haven't liked, which I think is really rare.

Mary-Louise Parker
You can tell actually when he starts to talk about his family, or his Daughters, or his Wife, and his whole face - really he's so really kind of a dear.
Mary-Louise Parker
I really prefer acting in the theater the most. In some ways TV is closer to that because there's more of a regularity to the schedule. You have to finish an episode by a certain day. Movies can just go on interminably.
Mary-Louise Parker
I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.
Mary-Louise Parker
I feel like movies, if there's any kind of budget whatsoever, there's so much sitting, and I really like to work. Otherwise my blood sugar just drops, you know, six hours sitting in a camper.
Mary-Louise Parker
I have a child and I don't want to be at work all the time when he's small. I want to spend time with him.
Mary-Louise Parker
I never know why people come up to me. I think a lot of them just get super-excited because they recognize me from TV but they don't remember where.
Mary-Louise Parker
I like A&E. I like those corny intimate-portrait things. They're so kind of ingenious and artificial and soothing.
Mary-Louise Parker
Toronto I've worked in so many times so you kind of just know every store, every hotel, every - it's really close to New York so it's awesome for my children so if I have to go home for two days it doesn't take very much time. Except for Air Canada. Air Canada is the worst part.
Mary-Louise Parker
My favorite scene in all of movies is Gregory Peck in To Kill A Mockingbird: You see him where he's on the porch, and his face is almost completely obscured. I don't want to see his face.
Mary-Louise Parker
I like to pretend that I'm a tough guy. It's kind of an admission of defeat if I have to ask for help - or even kindness. But if it doesn't come, at some point I snap and demand it.
Mary-Louise Parker
I haven't read the comic book. I didn't even know there was one until about halfway though. Helen Mirren and I were talking about that actually, who also felt kind of silly. When we had to run she was like, 'Oh God, we're both going to get fired.' The running sequences, it's a particular kind of humiliation because it's fun.
Mary-Louise Parker
With TV, there's a continuum with the crew and the cast so you feel like you have a sense of community in a way, which is similar to theater.
Mary-Louise Parker
