Carrie-Anne Moss Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Carrie-Anne Moss:

When I work, obviously the material is the first and most important thing. Then the director and who I'll be working with. And then the location comes into it. Where is it shooting? Because I have a family that has to uproot to do that with me.

Not for one second do I not, like, pinch myself that I've had a successful acting career for 24 years. I am so grateful. But it's unfortunate that we live in a society that really puts a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way and to age a certain way. I think that sucks.

Carrie-Anne Moss

For me, the biggest thing is someone who's kind. I'm not into the bad-boy thing.

Carrie-Anne Moss

Tell me that I can't do something, and I'll do it.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I definitely acknowledge that 'The Matrix' and Trinity had an influence on female action-oriented characters in television and in film. I think it's awesome.

Carrie-Anne Moss

That first year after a child, I kind of just hunker down at home - I surrender to that side of me. I don't try to get my body back or be in the world; I go the opposite way.

Carrie-Anne Moss

Even though I thought of myself as soft and squishy, I always had this great will and focus and was just so driven.

Carrie-Anne Moss

To experience life you have to kind of face a lot of fears.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I was 30 when I did 'The Matrix.' When you turn 30, your life and your world view change. I remember feeling relieved - it was like I was seeing things in a deeper way.

Carrie-Anne Moss

When you play a doctor, you have to look like you can do it but you don't actually go and do it. It's not like you learn how to cut open somebody and go do surgery. You have to think of a human being and not play the idea of what that would look like.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I've become a lot wiser over the years.

Carrie-Anne Moss

People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you're lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.

Carrie-Anne Moss

'Field of Dreams' made me realize that I wanted to live my dreams, to risk things for what I felt and what I dreamt of.

Carrie-Anne Moss

When I was younger and I was getting older, I remember thinking that if I couldn't do it gracefully, then I would have to quit. You know, looking at yourself aging onscreen, it can bring up stuff. It's one thing to be aging in a job where your looks don't matter, but as an actress, it's so much part of your image.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I don't believe in being typecast. If I believed it, it probably would have happened to me. You attract what you make.

Carrie-Anne Moss

Everyone has different issues, and I think for a great deal of women, those issues are self-esteem. And for me, I really wanted to understand it and get through it because I didn't want to be an actress afraid of getting older. I refuse to live that way.

Carrie-Anne Moss

When I was a kid, I don't think I even knew what being gay was, and now it's just part of our culture. It's changing so rapidly right now. It's great.

Carrie-Anne Moss

As an actor, you really want to respect and honor the script. You want to try to be in the moment and you also realize that you're one part of a bigger picture and when they call action, you have your dance.

Carrie-Anne Moss

The thing I love about music is that if a singer is good, let's say, you are instantly transported to that emotion. Acting is a more drawn-out process.

Carrie-Anne Moss

For a while, I was feeling so creative in motherhood that I had no longing to work. I felt that my children needed me, that I couldn't leave them for a second.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I don't have any huge desire to show you all that I'm not tough and strong, that I'm all feminine and soft. That's not a huge longing that I have because I know who I am.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I love 'The Matrix' a lot - I am lucky and blessed to be a part of it, and I believe in it.

Carrie-Anne Moss

When I do work, I choose to see every job as an opportunity to grow, as an actor and as a person. My favourite part of it is being part of a team, with everyone pulling in the same direction.

Carrie-Anne Moss

When I first had kids, I had a suitcase under my bed that I didn't even put away, and I was excited about going to all of these new places all of the time.

Carrie-Anne Moss

With scripts I've always looked at them and thought about kids, you know? Thought about the world and the impact... I won't do nudity and I never felt comfortable with that whole idea or things with huge sexual content - not my thing.

Carrie-Anne Moss

When I did the first 'Matrix,' after it came out, I had a woman come up to me and just thank me for Trinity because she was an action writer. She said she was getting really good opportunities now.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I just can't stand the sound of my voice sometimes, or how my face looks. There are always a few times at every premiere when I just have to cover my eyes when I'm up there.

Carrie-Anne Moss

For me, I always nurse out in public. It never crossed my mind, because I was taking care of my child, and I was living my life. We need to know as women that that is normal and great and beautiful and OK. And I want to be part of that conversation - not making anyone feel wrong if they don't do it.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I tend to play strong characters and people just assume that I would want to play romantic comedies, which I would love to do, but there are other women that do it so great and they maybe couldn't do what I do, play the kind of characters that I play.

Carrie-Anne Moss

Are you gonna fuel your faith or fuel your fear? I'm all about fueling my faith, especially when it's hard to do so.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I have no major regrets. I've made the conscious decision not to look at life that way. I always try to learn something - to take something away from the situation.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I want to feel creative when I'm working. I don't want to just work for the sake of working.

Carrie-Anne Moss

After 'The Matrix,' I cannot wear sunglasses. As soon as I put them on, people recognize me.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I've never been attracted to sci-fi per se. People tell me I'm in a genre kind of movie, but it never crossed my mind that 'The Matrix' was genre.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I think a lot of acting is having the confidence to be open enough to try things and not be afraid of falling on your face and looking like a fool.

Carrie-Anne Moss

Where it gets clear for me about the privacy issue is with my kids because they didn't choose this kind of life. I'm an incredibly open person, though - I'll tell anyone anything.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I've never been interested in action movies. Definitely not interested in sci-fi.
