More quotes by Parker Posey
I sold my apartment this year. It's like, Wow, this is where the arts are now.
Parker Posey
It felt really good to kind of find my voice and say stuff, and to be funny, hopefully.
Parker Posey
I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.
Parker Posey
I was around New York at a time when independent cinema was at its peak and became kind of popular and mainstream. It got some hype, culturally. After that, studios started to have independent companies within their studio system, and they found bigger stars willing to do new material. That's kind of what it's turned into.
Parker Posey
You're talking to someone, to a reader, and you get to express in the way you want to. And you get to play with it. It's kind of like acting, but it's on paper.
Parker Posey
I haven't seen a bear in person. I've seen deer. I have lots of woodchucks on my property. And bluebirds. Foxes.
Parker Posey
Chris Guest has his own form. It's a way of working that is really intense and you can commit a lot and you focus a lot. You get to bring a lot. You get to bring things maybe you haven't seen before. You're asked to care a great deal for these people who you're playing and create heart and empathy.
Parker Posey
I'm having too good of a time.
Parker Posey
As an actor in these movies you get to fill up something so much, to its capacity, and once you get there you're like a horse running onto the racetrack.
Parker Posey
Sometimes you're not in the best environment. Sometimes you're not speaking the same language and it's not a good place to work. It's a lot to give, actually. And for not a lot of money.
Parker Posey
My first lead role was probably 'Party Girl' in 1994.
Parker Posey
My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.
Parker Posey
Time is weird in your twenties. It's intense, and you feel like it's running out. But you'll get to thirty and see you are still here on the planet.
Parker Posey
I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.
Parker Posey
I don't know what's going on with new media and digital stuff. It's all changing.
Parker Posey
I utilize myself a lot more fully now. You get older so you have a lot more experience.
Parker Posey
I don't want to sound like too much of a drama queen! But I'm not going to tell you, 'Oh, it's just so much fun.' It's work [working on film].
Parker Posey
I don't, really a fashionable person. I'm an actor, so I like costumes. But fashion is very popular now. Really overly popular. It's like New Age music in the '80s, or art. And then independent film. Now everyone's a fashion designer. It's had a big effect in New York, in our culture.
Parker Posey
My dad recently reminded me that my grandfather's cousin was Lefty Frizzell.
Parker Posey
You're making a fantasy. You're making something real out of a fantasy. And then it no longer exists. It's heartbreaking to leave behind. I was devastated after Waiting for Guffman. I had never gotten so close to people I've worked with.
Parker Posey
