I'm not comfortable with getting a job by being at the right Hollywood party I'm not a terribly sociable creature.
Mary-Louise Parker
Image
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.

Image
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.

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.

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.

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

Mediocrity is underrated.

I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.

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.

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.

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.

Image
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 don't often see the movies I'm in I'm usually disappointed in myself and it only serves to make me self-conscious.

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.

My parents have been together for 65 years. They're both really stubborn. They're not quitters.

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.

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.

My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.
