More quotes by Virginia Madsen
I'm a fan. I would have been a fan of Candyman even if I hadn't been in that movie. I'm a huge fan of Star Trek, which is why I was in Star Trek: Voyager - because I begged them to be a part of that lore.

Men, we don't need you in shining armor. We just need you a little bit brave, just a little bit brave.

Our audience is all the girls who made Britney a huge star. Those are the girls who bought the book. I didn't read the book at first. I read the script just to see what I would think of the script and I really liked it.
Virginia Madsen
I tend to look for a great script.

The actor side of me loves to get dressed up and I feel like Cinderella when I'm in diamonds.

Dune was really my first Hollywood job. It was such a small part, but I opened the movie. I was about 19 years old and I had to make this speech, and I didn't understand most of the words because they were, you know, words from Dune.
Virginia Madsen
In animation, there's silly things I get to do with my voice. I get to have a wider range, so my voice gets to dance more than it does on camera.
Virginia Madsen
Everything that I play as an actress is a different aspect of me.

They were made up names in Dune that I didn't know how to pronounce, but I knew how I should sound because I was a sci-fi fan myself. I hadn't read the book, but I knew that I was the princess of the universe. I went in and sort of made her up, and David Lynch thought it matched and cast me.

I have to read comic books all first, because now when you get into graphic novels, they are definitely in deep graphic.
Virginia Madsen
If my son would only listen to my advice, he would lead a perfect life. I'll still be saying that to him when I'm 75. I like to imagine that I have the control, but he's a teenager, so that never really happens.
Virginia Madsen
You can't not be into basketball and grow up in Chicago or live in L.A., because people are so fanatical about the teams. You know what's going on with the games even if you don't watch.
Virginia Madsen
I always tell actors, Don't think of it as unemployment when you don't have a job. You have to think of it as being in preparation for your next job. You have to be always preparing for success.
Virginia Madsen
I've spent the last few years just really actively pursuing comedy and that's something I always wanted to know how to do.
Virginia Madsen
Once your acting job is over, you just hope they have a good editor and they put together a good film.

I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity.
Virginia Madsen
You know, we’re not on stage, we’re not doing a play, so we don’t have a relationship with the audience but going through that process and also just hearing how much people love the film, you feel like you do have a relationship with the audience.
Virginia Madsen
It's a roll of the dice when you're a first time director so I prefer to work with people that know more than I do, but that happens less and less as you get older.
Virginia Madsen
Voiceover work reminds me of old-time radio. When I was little I used to sneak and stay up at night and listen to Mystery Radio Theater - I loved all those old radio plays.
Virginia Madsen
When you're the ingénue no one is really interested in you for that.
