More quotes by Parker Posey
I think movies are now like going to a museum and seeing the latest exhibit - people just aren't going. It really is a dying art form. It feels frustrating.
Parker Posey
Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.
Parker Posey
It felt really good to kind of find my voice and say stuff, and to be funny, hopefully.
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
I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like
Parker Posey
In the '90s, indie movies could get financing, because financers gave money straight to directors... Now it's a different system. Indie movies got co-opted by the studio system.
Parker Posey
I did do a presentation pilot with Jesse Eisenberg and he's wonderful. He's such a great writer. He directed me and he wrote these wonderful scripts and we're waiting to hear if marketers and advertisers think that an audience wants to look at a bad mom and her 10-year-old son in a show.
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
It's overshadowed, the art. We're in a really argumentative, black-and-white-thinking culture right now. There's not a lot of time to take things in.
Parker Posey
With Dazed and Confused I got the high school experience I didn't get to have. So you do create families and homes. You're projecting and it's your job. The amount of time and headspace and thought it takes on your psyche is huge. It's exhausting, yeah. And it's exhausting but it's also great.
Parker Posey
I don't know what's going on with new media and digital stuff. It's all changing.
Parker Posey
I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.
Parker Posey
You know, it's a really adult thing, for some people, to choose to not be with the one that you love.
Parker Posey
I don't Twitter, although sometimes I think that I should.
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
I'm a grown-up and I'm a creative person so I should try to give something to that and see what I can make with that. And not sit around listening to people be like, 'You really should be on an HBO show. You'd be great on an Amazon series.' You're like, 'Thank you, okay. I don't have any offers.'
Parker Posey
An actor's career relies on a lot of luck. Being in the right place at the right time.
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
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
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
