More quotes by Parker Posey
I usually play character parts in Hollywood films.
Parker Posey
I liked being able to portray a woman at this particular age and at this point in her life.
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
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 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 don't Twitter, although sometimes I think that I should.
Parker Posey
I sold my apartment this year. It's like, Wow, this is where the arts are now.
Parker Posey
I don't know what's going on with new media and digital stuff. It's all changing.
Parker Posey
My first lead role was probably 'Party Girl' in 1994.
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
An actor's career relies on a lot of luck. Being in the right place at the right time.
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
I'm having too good of a time.
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
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
Early on it was much easier to play leads, but now independent movies are being co-opted by the studio system, and they want bigger names to guarantee more audience and more numbers.
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 would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.
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
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
