More quotes by Mary-Louise Parker
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
I don't get tired of hearing that somebody liked my work.
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
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
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 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.
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
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
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
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 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 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
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 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
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
I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.
Mary-Louise Parker
My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.
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
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
Mediocrity is underrated.
