More quotes by Mary-Louise Parker
The theater is who I am - it's where I feel the most inspired, the most at home, the most useful.
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

Mary-Louise Parker
Don’t have a fall back, because if you do, you’ll fall back.

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.
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
My parents have been together for 65 years. They're both really stubborn. They're not quitters.
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 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
Mediocrity is underrated.
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
My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.
Mary-Louise Parker
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.
Mary-Louise Parker
People ask me, 'Why are you doing a show on Showtime?' Because I'll do anything really, I don't really care, I'll do a show on Nickelodeon if I thought it was well written. Actually Nickelodeon's kind of awesome.
Mary-Louise Parker
I'm just damseling mostly. I'm not very good with a gun.
Mary-Louise Parker
It's the best part of the whole movie. John Malkovich with a pink pig is - you can't get better than that. Then John Malkovich alone and then you add a pink pig.
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
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
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
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
