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].

More quotes by Parker Posey
I usually play character parts in Hollywood films.
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
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
I liked being able to portray a woman at this particular age and at this point in her life.
Parker Posey
My first lead role was probably 'Party Girl' in 1994.
Parker Posey
My dad recently reminded me that my grandfather's cousin was Lefty Frizzell.
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, 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
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 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 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
It felt really good to kind of find my voice and say stuff, and to be funny, hopefully.
Parker Posey
I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.
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
The studios insisted that only stars could make movies successful. And that was the real disappointment of the time. You'd see great writer-directors in the '90s becoming part of a system where financiers and movie stars could change the material. I came along just before all that happened.
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
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
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.
