Jacki Weaver Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Jacki Weaver:

I guess just a lively imagination is the best effort an actor can have.

I do have friends in Australia who now refer to me as 'Hollywood Jack.'

Jacki Weaver

I'm a nice middle-class girl in real life, and I'm a mom and a grandma, and I usually play sweet characters.

Jacki Weaver

It wasn't on my agenda, but the thing about getting important awards is it makes the adventure of your career have a little more possibility. I think just what's happened so far is already making the opportunities more interesting, even though I'm at the twilight of my career of like 48 years.

Jacki Weaver

It's one of the functions of the theater to shock and titillate and appall, apart from entertain and delight.

Jacki Weaver

I remember I was a little girl when Elizabeth Taylor stole Eddie Fisher from America's Sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds, and the reaction back then was enormous! And Angelina Jolie was in trouble, too, for taking a husband away from another America's Sweetheart. Don't take husbands from America's Sweethearts.

Jacki Weaver

I'm under five feet; I'm very small, 4'11 1/2.

Jacki Weaver

No, I'm so well-known at home I think they think of me like a piece of comfortable furniture that's always been around that they're not going to throw out.

Jacki Weaver

I believe in sex on a first date. Otherwise, how do you know if a second date is worth the effort?

Jacki Weaver

I love pretending to be other people. The more unlike me they are the better - I find other people endlessly fascinating and myself incredibly boring.

Jacki Weaver

I live for my work, apart from my family who come first. And I live to tell stories and pretend to be other people, it's something I've been doing since I was 3 years old. Maybe it's because I'm intrinsically bored with myself, and I find other people more interesting. The more different they are, the bigger the challenge.

Jacki Weaver

'Promiscuous' implies that I'm not choosy. In fact I'm very choosy. I just happen to have had a lot of choices.

Jacki Weaver

Everything the Coen brothers do is brilliant.

Jacki Weaver

They call David O. Russell the actor whisperer because he can get stuff out of actors that maybe some other directors can't.

Jacki Weaver

Most Australians who've got an ear can do an American accent because we grow up listening to them on television and in movies.

Jacki Weaver

It's a basic tenet you learn at drama school. If you're playing someone evil, you can't make an objective moral judgment. You've got to get inside the character and empathize as much as possible.

Jacki Weaver

We're becoming so much better at destigmatizing all sorts of things, including mental illness in 'Silver Linings.'

Jacki Weaver

I love getting presents. And awards. I'd do whatever they told me to do.

Jacki Weaver

I'd love to be a voice in 'Toy Story 4.'

Jacki Weaver

The Oscar buzz when I was nominated was totally overwhelming. I think I can cope with anything now that I've coped with that. It was huge. It makes you realize, coming from a small country like Australia, what an enormous industry it is in America.

Jacki Weaver

I don't play many characters like myself. Oh I don't know what I am!

Jacki Weaver

I've had five weddings but if I'm really honest and if I count significant de factos... I've had nine husbands... which sounds appalling but when you consider I started at 18 and I'm 65 it's not so bad.

Jacki Weaver

It's a very generous culture, American culture. I know you can't generalize 300 million people, but everyone I've met here has been so lovely to me.

Jacki Weaver

I was sent the script for 'Silver Linings' when I was doing a play in D.C. at The Kennedy Center with Cate Blanchett and I was sent the script and asked if I was interested, and I said 'Oh, boy am I!'

Jacki Weaver

When you get as old as I am, you kind of believe there's nothing new under the sun, but there's always a fresh way of looking at something. That's why I love working with young people. They remind you of things you used to know and have since forgotten.

Jacki Weaver

I've always said about awards that they're meaningless until you win one, and then they're best thing in the world. The other thing about awards is that they engender respect from areas where it might never have come from without it.

Jacki Weaver

I know that Philadelphians hate New York actors passing off New York accents as Philadelphian when they are quite different.

Jacki Weaver

I guess just a lively imagination is the best effort an actor can have.

Jacki Weaver

In Australia, I grew up watching 'The Mickey Mouse Club,' my son grew up watching 'Sesame Street,' my grandson's growing up watching 'Dora The Explorer.' So we are sort of saturated with American culture from the day we're born, and to those of those who do have an ear for it, it's second nature.
