Frances McDormand Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Frances McDormand:

I'm attracted to male gestures and sexuality.

I've got a rubber face. It has always served me very well and really helps, especially as I get older, because I still have all my road map intact, and I can use it at will.

Frances McDormand

The fact that I'm sleeping with the director may have something to do with it.

Frances McDormand

I portray female characters, so I have the opportunity to change the way people look at them. Even if I wasn't consciously doing that, it would happen anyway just because of how I present as a woman, or as a person. I present in a way that's not stereotypical, even if I'm playing a stereotypical role.

Frances McDormand

My son smelled like a cinnamon bun, and that smell entered into my biological being, and it became an imperative that I keep him alive at all costs, so then there's this monster - this tiger or lion - that comes forward in you to protect them. And it doesn't stop. It doesn't matter if they become men or women.

Frances McDormand

I've given just as much of my life to that, and I practiced it with the same zeal, as I have acting. And I think that many of my skill sets from being a housewife I used for producing. Because you don't stop until it's done.

Frances McDormand

I'm from working-class, blue-collar America, and I don't believe that people in that socioeconomic strata wait until they're 40 to have children.

Frances McDormand

Unfortunately, any girl - unless you're playing the action hero - is going to end up at some point handcuffed, gagged, and waiting for the hero to save her.

Frances McDormand

I am not a director or a writer, but a filmmaker.

Frances McDormand

It's much easier to play supporting roles because that's what I do in my life: I support my son.

Frances McDormand

I can't do the frappuccino. It's too sweet. I need it straight.

Frances McDormand

I will go to my grave being known as Marge Gunderson. It'll be on my gravestone if I have one. I don't mind that, because it was a great character.

Frances McDormand

Cinematic icons of the police detective are more male role models than female.

Frances McDormand

At least three times a week, I'm approached by someone who says something about 'Fargo.'

Frances McDormand

It could be partly my taste. It's just my belief that there are female characters that will benefit from not being vulnerable.

Frances McDormand

Most women's pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men's pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene, what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down.

Frances McDormand

I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.

Frances McDormand

The crew on 'Three Bilboards,' by the way, is one of the best I've ever worked with. And that's not hyperbole.

Frances McDormand

I'm not an actor because I want my picture taken. I'm an actor because I want to be part of the human exchange.

Frances McDormand

I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal.

Frances McDormand

I'm attracted to male gestures and sexuality.

Frances McDormand

I would disagree that America is any more racist or ridiculous than anywhere else.

Frances McDormand

I have a very short attention span.

Frances McDormand

I never trusted good-looking boys.

Frances McDormand

I want to be revered. I want to be an elder; I want to be an elderess.

Frances McDormand

One of the reasons I am successful as a producer is that I've been a very successful housewife.

Frances McDormand

If, when I leave this earth, I'm remembered for 'Fargo,' so be it. But I think old Marge Gunderson is gonna get a run for her money with Olive Kittredge.

Frances McDormand

You just have to play the character.

Frances McDormand

I think that there's a clinical mental illness called depression, but I believe that post-industrial America has been narcotized by progress. There's a cultural malaise - mental illness or no - that everybody suffers from at some point in their life.

Frances McDormand

I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.

Frances McDormand

Unless I'm on a stage, I don't want to be the event in someone's day.

Frances McDormand

It's a scary thing going into the workforce with a $50,000 debt and you've been trained as a classical theatre actor. There's always a depression in the theatre.

Frances McDormand

I read books. Remember those? I read them, on paper.

Frances McDormand

Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

Frances McDormand

In comparison to other women in the world, perhaps I'm seen as smaller. But I've never had a problem thinking of myself as a large woman.

Frances McDormand

I never read books - and still don't read books - to develop them.

Frances McDormand

I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.
