Ari Graynor Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Ari Graynor:

I've always just admired women who were able to navigate through dramatic and comedic waters and sort of do it all.

Working with David Gordon Green, and Jonah Hill, and Michael Cera, and Drew Barrymore, and all of those people - those are the best people in comedy to work with. Anna Faris. You know, that's my goal, to keep learning and to just keep working with the best people I can. And yeah, we do all hang out, and we all kind of know each other.

People remember the last thing you did.

Ari Graynor

It's an incredible thing when you are creating something in a moment with the other people on stage and with an audience, and you are all experiencing it together as it exists in that one night. It's a magical feeling.

Ari Graynor

I didn't want to study theater or go to school in the city. I wanted the all-American 'Here's your quad' college experience.

Ari Graynor

Regardless of what kind of film, the number one rule of comedy is to never take yourself too seriously and then the next rule is you can't have any self-consciousness, otherwise it kills the laugh, and that will never change.

Ari Graynor

I don't have to fear that if I do more comedy I'm not going to get to do everything I want. I'll get to do my 'Yentl.'

Ari Graynor

I was the kind of kid that always loved babies. I was, you know, four years old, and I would have my baby doll that I would bring with me everywhere and fake breastfeed on the beach and diaper.

Ari Graynor

While I appreciate horror movies, I'd love the opportunity to do something transformative, especially because people see me as contemporary. There's a lot to explore in my career that could take me back to another time. A period piece would be an incredible game of dress-up, too.

Ari Graynor

There's something innately funny and warm about being Jewish. I think it's something to be embraced and respected.

Ari Graynor

As a kid, I watched a lot of TV.

Ari Graynor

I would love to be in 'Downton Abbey.' That's the thing I thing many people would have a good laugh with me saying anything like that. I feel like that's the next phase of my career. To reprove to everyone that I can do things besides the crazy characters.

Ari Graynor

I went through a little hippy dippy program at Brandeis and was bat mizvahed by the rabbi who married my parents. We celebrated the High Holidays and had the traditional Rosh Hashanah dinner.

Ari Graynor

I think a reason why actors get reputations for being crazy and neurotic is because your life task is constantly in flux.

Ari Graynor

I want the power that comes from expressing myself creatively and putting something back into the world. Being someone's muse would be flattering, but it could get old fast.

Ari Graynor

You can't please everybody. All you can do is please yourself.

Ari Graynor

Acting was the place where I could be free and feel confident.

Ari Graynor

I prefer situational or character-based humor to gross-out gags and comedic set pieces.

Ari Graynor

At 21, my career took a comedic turn when I was cast in a new Broadway play called 'Brooklyn Boy,' by Donald Margulies, which was equal parts funny and sad. I realized that the more seriously I expressed my character's feelings, the funnier the scene became.

Ari Graynor

I've started to get more stage fright the older I get.

Ari Graynor

I've already put my parents through the wringer with a number of my jobs!

Ari Graynor

It's such a tough business. And once people see you a certain way, it's really hard for them to change their minds about you.

Ari Graynor

All we can do in life is push through the things that make us afraid and try to be better.

Ari Graynor

Sometimes you can fall into bad habits on film or rest on your laurels, and you can't do that in theater. I think it's such a useful tool as a person and as an actor to go back and forth between those two mediums.

Ari Graynor

A lot of entertainment, and especially in a half-hour format, can be all jokes, all the time. And some of those jokes can be really, really funny, but what I respond to, as a viewers, is identification or caring about the characters.

Ari Graynor

I love being onstage. As I've gotten older, it terrifies me more and more, which is interesting.

Ari Graynor

I was more of the kind of babysitter that liked holding the baby, sort of playing Mom, and then putting the baby to bed and watching TV while eating everything in their kitchen.

Ari Graynor

More and more, people probably associate me in this world of comedy and these confident, brassy, big ladies, which I love, but my insides and who I feel like internally and the kind of work that I hope to continue doing feels very different from that.

Ari Graynor

You look at Richard Pryor and Robert Klein and George Carlin and Richard Lewis - those guys were so smart, they were the thinking-man stand-ups.

Ari Graynor

Comedy is funny when it comes from truth, and that's always the rule of them. It's about how far you can push that boundary.

Ari Graynor

I was the girl who got out of my athletic requirement by managing the boys' sports teams. Which is pretty ingenious, because when I was a sophomore, I got a prom date out of it. That was really strong planning on my part.

Ari Graynor

Humans are complex, and I think in entertainment in general, it's very easy to put people in boxes.

Ari Graynor

My mom was in the chorus of 'Hello Dolly' and 'The Worldly Players'; my dad would build the set.

Ari Graynor

Sitting around with Jim Carrey, coming up with bits, is, like, beyond a dream come true.

Ari Graynor

It is mind-boggling to me that there are so few movies about female friendship, considering women make up half the movie-going population.

Ari Graynor

The real heart of comedy is uncovering a truth about yourself or about the world that you didn't see.

Ari Graynor

The language can be different, but the emotional lives are the same no matter whether you're doing Shakespeare or Stoppard or something else... The emotional life is all the same.
