More quotes by Sarah Paulson
I'd love to be in the '70s. I'd love to have a big, long wig parted down the middle with flat-ironed hair and bell-bottoms. They're actually very flattering for my figure. The wider the leg, the better for a person with a booty.
Sarah Paulson
The idea of being on a show where each season stands alone, and you can come back the next year and show an entirely different aspect of your personality or your talent or your anything is an enormous gift that you rarely get in television.
Sarah Paulson
I was constantly, always and forever, trying to perform the musical 'Annie' for anyone who would listen, and I have a terrible singing voice. It was the first thing that made me think I wanted to be an actress.
Sarah Paulson
I could feel my body temperature - I knew I was bright red. It was so humiliating, I was so upset, and it was nothing I had planned to do. It was just one of those beautiful moments, the alchemy of acting that is so mysterious, where you sort of go, How did that come out of me?
Sarah Paulson
If you get on a TV show that's successful, odds are that you're playing the same character for as many years as the show is running, which can be its own blessing, but it can also be a curse because you're playing the same thing and that can be tiresome.
Sarah Paulson
I remember feeling the temperature change the first time the curtain came up, the difference between the audience temperature and the stage temperature. I'll never forget it.
Sarah Paulson
Nobody could ever say as many terrible things to me as I say to myself.
Sarah Paulson
I'm sporting some really blonde hair because I live in Hollywood and I'm an actress.
Sarah Paulson
I could never have thought, I wanna play a two-headed woman. That just never would have occurred to me, in a million years.
Sarah Paulson
I'm one of those actors who's just standing there, waiting and ready for something to come my way. I don't really try to think about, Oh, I feel the next thing I should do should be a feature. Now, I think I should do a play. I just hope someone wants to cast me in something.
Sarah Paulson
That is my reality. It's that important to nurture and foster my own creativity. There are plenty of birthday parties I haven't been able to go to, weddings I haven't been able to go to because I've been working. Those are things that have not been easy to give up, but at the same time, it is my reality. It's my responsibility.
Sarah Paulson
I'm interested in telling the character's story, not my beliefs, political or otherwise.
Sarah Paulson
There are rules, and when certain things happen, there are ceratin consequences.
Sarah Paulson
The theater commitment is hard, especially in conjunction with a television commitment. That's a big, long commitment.
Sarah Paulson
Playing Sally McKenna was a wonderful, freeing thing because we all in life have so many responsibilities to ourselves, to other people, that we rarely get to explore a very selfish side of ourselves in doing what we want, when we want, how we want, without answering to or being responsible for anyone else.
Sarah Paulson
My great love is the stage because I do feel like it's the place where, if you're lucky and everything is firing in the right way, you have the greatest shot at being successful. I don't mean by getting great reviews, but I mean by finding the core fo the person that you're playing.
Sarah Paulson
All of my friends went to college and I got a job at Circle Pizza, where I worked for 24 hours. I had to call my mother four times to ask her how to spell Parmesan. I'm not kidding. I was a terrible speller. I think I was really nervous that I somehow didn't feel right out in the world in that way.
Sarah Paulson
The thing I worry about for myself is I spend a lot of time alone, and another person comes around and you're like, 'What are you doing here? Get out of here.
Sarah Paulson
I don't have children, but my work life is as important to me as anything could be. I've dedicated a lot of time and energy and years to it. Some might say some of my childbearing years to it. In and of itself, my work is like a child to me. That is my reality.
Sarah Paulson
I learned, having played Marcia Clark, what the value of that is in your life because it can affect everything, every choice you make, the way you deal with a stranger on the street, or your best friend or lover. It's a powerful thing to know yourself and to have the commitment and the courage to let that be your guide.
