More quotes by 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.

Don’t have a fall back, because if you do, you’ll fall back.

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.

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
The theater is who I am - it's where I feel the most inspired, the most at home, the most useful.

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.

Unless you got a really good reason, you should be nice.

I'm just damseling mostly. I'm not very good with a gun.
