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.

More quotes by 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 don't often see the movies I'm in I'm usually disappointed in myself and it only serves to make me self-conscious.
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
Mediocrity is underrated.
Mary-Louise Parker

Mary-Louise Parker
I'm just damseling mostly. I'm not very good with a gun.
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.

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
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
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'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
I always wondered what people thought of it because it looked so stupid to me on the page and I loved the other finale so I thought it was going to be really stupid but some people really liked it.
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.
Mary-Louise Parker
My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.
Mary-Louise Parker
I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.
Mary-Louise Parker
I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.
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.

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
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 don't get tired of hearing that somebody liked my work.
