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.

More quotes by Mary-Louise Parker
I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.
Mary-Louise Parker
Don’t have a fall back, because if you do, you’ll fall back.
Mary-Louise Parker
I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.
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 like A&E. I like those corny intimate-portrait things. They're so kind of ingenious and artificial and soothing.
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 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
Mediocrity is underrated.
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
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'm naked in Esquire in August. I was naked on the set the other day. I'm always naked. I'm naked right now, in fact.
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
I don't get tired of hearing that somebody liked my work.
Mary-Louise Parker
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
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.
