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.

More quotes by Virginia Madsen
It would be good if you opened your heart to the fullness of time and spirit.
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
The actor side of me loves to get dressed up and I feel like Cinderella when I'm in diamonds.
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
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
Sadly, I really want to be Batman ... and I just never will be.
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
Do something good for yourself today. You matter.
Virginia Madsen
Everything that I play as an actress is a different aspect of me.
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
I love when I get to play these characters that are bigger than life. There are roles in animation that I never get to do in real life - and it appeals to my ego as an actor to play the Queen of Everything. I admit it.
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'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
I tend to look for a great script.
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
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.
Virginia Madsen
It's almost like I get to be more theatrical when I work in voiceover.
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
When I was growing up, the really, really cool super heroes were all male - so I wanted to be them.
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.
