Zitat des Tages von Amanda Peet:
I think when you're a bigger star you get many good scripts sent to you, and you have to choose which one you're going to gravitate toward, but I just try to gravitate toward the best-written one that's been thrown my way after a lot of girls have passed on it.
Since I got a really bad review when I was, like, 28 in 'The New York Times,' I don't read reviews anymore.
He can't even be at a casual read and not be creating the whole thing in his mind. I remember feeling very awed about how much he still seems to be so in love with it, and so dedicated to making everything really real and really spontaneous.
I'd like to be someone on 'Games of Thrones.'
There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.
If there were some recipe that would make all of our children really sane and civic-minded and hugely intelligent, I think we'd probably all do it. But I don't know that there is a recipe for creating that.
I think children should be vaccinated because that affects the health of all the other children.
I think getting drunk is the key to flying comfortably. A couple of bloody marys or several glasses of champagne, and suddenly it's like you're on a roller coaster.
I have a fairly realistic idea about what my gifts and limitations are.
Beauty is only skin deep. If you go after someone just because she's beautiful but don't have anything to talk about, it's going to get boring fast. You want to look beyond the surface and see if you can have fun or if you have anything in common with this person.
Well, my mom is single and we've both been single at the same time over the last ten years, so I really related to the bond between my character and Diane's.
Whenever I was with Kevin Pollak, I had to leave the room.
If I had to give up cheese or chocolate, I'd give up chocolate in a heartbeat.
I'm interested in people who are very close to the people who commit crimes.
There aren't many roles that are interesting if you're a 40-year-old woman, unless you're Julia Roberts or Cate Blanchett.
I'm a big fan of gallows humor. When my aunt passed away, she was in a coma for a day before my cousins pulled the plug. And the amount of joking and base humor that went on that day around her bed was so insane. It's crazy how people talk when something horrible is happening.
Being an actor is really, really hard, no matter how you slice it.
I'm technologically an imbecile. But I do use the camera phone!
I like playwriting because it's rooted in a single location with actors standing talking to each other.
If you take 'Cheers' and 'Seinfeld' and watch the early shows, they're kind of awkward. It took a while for the writers and everything to gel.
As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.
I try to be really hippie about things. I'm uptight in all the ways that are really important, but the things my husband and family can benefit from my uptightness, I'm completely lacking.
I'd love to work with Joan Cusack again - I'm obsessed with Joan Cusack.
