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 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 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 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
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
Don’t have a fall back, because if you do, you’ll fall back.
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
Unless you got a really good reason, you should be nice.

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
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 like A&E. I like those corny intimate-portrait things. They're so kind of ingenious and artificial and soothing.
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 just want to make lunches and organize my kids' playroom.
Mary-Louise Parker
My parents have been together for 65 years. They're both really stubborn. They're not quitters.
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
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 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
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
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.
