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.

More quotes by Virginia Madsen
I've made more movies than anybody now.
Virginia Madsen
Men, we don't need you in shining armor. We just need you a little bit brave, just a little bit brave.
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
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 I was growing up, the really, really cool super heroes were all male - so I wanted to be them.
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.
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
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
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
Do something good for yourself today. You matter.
Virginia Madsen
I tend to look for a great script.
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
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 want every movie to be like a big family and a great adventure.
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
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
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
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
It would be good if you opened your heart to the fullness of time and spirit.
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.
