Zitat des Tages von Betty Gilpin:
I wasn't allowed to audition for anything professionally until I was - I guess I cheated a little bit and started when I was in college, but I graduated! Barely.
I started doing plays in New York while I was at Fordham, but I did graduate by the skin of my teeth.
I won't name names, but sometimes a TV set can be a shame-and-fear obstacle course for an actress.
I often feel like a character actress trapped inside the mean, aging Barbie's body.
When I read what 'GLOW' was about, it just felt like something where I could make as many faces as I wanted, and it would totally make sense!
There's nothing fake about flipping over and landing on your back.
Being an actor, I've thought about being in the male gaze.
I loved musicals because I felt like breaking out in song makes so much sense to me because it's the stakes of how you feel inside!
I think I did four 'Law & Order' episodes. I did two 'Criminal Intent,' one mothership, and one 'SVU.'
I've done plays where you get into the run and can go to auditions during the day, or can have lunch with someone, and then you go to half-hour and show up.
Growing up, I was a self-loathing Igor who carried the queen's books. My job was to be the sarcastic sherpa, quietly providing the farce and adoration, then becoming part of the wall when cued.
You would think that wrestling has so much to do with being aggressive and having a big ego, and it's exactly the opposite.
I kept feeling like there were no parts for girl who want to play to the mezzanine.
I went to theater school where there is a lot of holding each other's faces and crying, and a lot of kid gloves.
If I'm brought the wrong order at a restaurant, I don't send it back, because I don't want the waiter to get mad at me.
My attention span, when it comes to exercise, is pretty minimal.
I grew up in a lot of stage managers' booths, memorizing the lines. I'm sure I was the most annoying child in existence.
Female friendship... I think you have friendships that come and go, and then there are ones that the girl becomes a part of your bones.
I was scared to film 'GLOW' for many reasons. As an actor, as a wrestler. It was just a very scary and intimidating experience.
Both of my parents are actors, so I grew up backstage with them. I would see some of their shows 30, 40, 50 times. I would have it all memorized. I loved it.
I find myself on Yelp typing in 'the best 'blank'' all the time: best cheese, best ice cream, best pizza.
The smell of a perm is this special kind of Chernobyl-grave soup smell.
I think that it's our job to sort of band together and say, 'OK, what are the ways the male gaze has seeped into your brain and is affecting the way you treat yourself? Let's work together to eliminate that.'
