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.

More quotes by Virginia Madsen
A radio play actually ended up being the first acting job I ever had. A lot of times when I'm on camera, I'm playing characters that are more like myself, and I don't get to do a lot of real character work. But when you're doing animation, you are the very epitome of colorful characters. I think I'm just really into make believe.
Virginia Madsen
I was always an actress, even as a little kid, and fantasy, horror, sci-fi stories are really all about playing make believe. I just never grew out of that.
Virginia Madsen
I was not a comic book reader, but my son is. My son wasn't really interested in reading books, which was hard for me because I love to read. It just didn't come naturally to my boy. So we kind of found comic books because they were fascinating to him. They were great stories.
Virginia Madsen
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 love Keri Russell. I watched every episode of Felicity, and Waitress is my favorite film from last year. She's just an amazing actress. And I like her voice a lot - it didn't surprise me that she would be doing voiceover work.
Virginia Madsen
I am a proud mother - that's another reason I love doing any kind of animation. When my son was growing up, if he was watching something animated and I was in it, that was way cooler to him than seeing me in a movie.
Virginia Madsen
I have good genes. My father is Danish and my mother is Irish and Native American. They both have good skin.
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
You cannot believe how hard it is to try and raise money for a film. I did it for six years and it was such a failure.
Virginia Madsen
I want every movie to be like a big family and a great adventure.
Virginia Madsen
When I was growing up, the really, really cool super heroes were all male - so I wanted to be them.
Virginia Madsen
I really didn't like Batgirl. I was like, No, if I'm not gonna be Batman, I'm not gonna play. Maybe they could write an evil female super villain who takes over Batman, and nobody knows.
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
I've made more movies than anybody now.
Virginia Madsen
I have to read comic books all first, because now when you get into graphic novels, they are definitely in deep graphic.
Virginia Madsen
The actor side of me loves to get dressed up and I feel like Cinderella when I'm in diamonds.
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
When you're the ingénue no one is really interested in you for that.
Virginia Madsen
To me it meant, just looking at it from a Maya point of view, it meant that Paul Miles is always moving laterally in his life. And she just wants him to take a couple of steps forward, you know?
Virginia Madsen
I spend a lot of time at my son’s school and I really wanted to do a movie that the kids could see. The good thing about being my age and not having to be the ingenue anymore is that I get to be a mom. I get to have kids in my movies.
