Katherine Waterston Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Katherine Waterston:

When you're playing Marilyn Monroe, you have a responsibility to look and sound like her that you don't when you're playing people who weren't ever in the public eye.

I don't have shame with my body. I don't find a breast more vulnerable than an elbow.

Katherine Waterston

Every now and then, you get lucky enough to work with some people you feel like you would take a bullet for.

Katherine Waterston

Can't remember a time when I didn't want to be an actor... though it felt like something I couldn't do until I grew up. I mean, I knew kids could be actors - I recall seeing them on my dad's shoots and getting jealous.

Katherine Waterston

I basically never believed that I was a commercial actor. Just because of the outcome of many auditions over time. No one hired me.

Katherine Waterston

We live in such hypersexualised yet totally prudish times. People have this expectation about everyone else's relationship to their own bodies.'Surely you must have shame about your body? Surely what's scariest for you as actor would be to stand in a room naked?' Believe me, I've been in so many more terrifying situations as a performer than that.

Katherine Waterston

Some days, the first coffee just laughs at you. It says, 'Oh, you think I'm going to wake you up? Sucker.'

Katherine Waterston

It's just a dream of the struggling actor to just have a proper shot - not just in a film that people will see, but with a character that's rich and complicated and that you can show you're capable of taking on.

Katherine Waterston

For 'Beasts,' I really wanted my character to be this sort of mushy, muscleless Muppet.

Katherine Waterston

I think that when you are struggling as an actor, you imagine that if things were to pan out, everything in your life would change, But really, it's not so different. You're still pursuing good work. You still panic that you're doing it all wrong.

Katherine Waterston

It's very easy to think that the way things are is the way things will stay, and life just isn't like that.

Katherine Waterston

There's something particular about the way Los Angeles feels in the summertime. It slows down and is hazy and dreamy, and you can put on certain music and go for a drive and be totally sober but feel stoned.

Katherine Waterston

When I got to NYU, I immediately inquired about doing a double major in acting and photography.

Katherine Waterston

People think the advantage of a parent in the business is that they'll open doors for you. But the true advantage for me is having someone who knows exactly what you're going through.

Katherine Waterston

Acting is a community where you come in and out of each other's lives. I'm slightly envious of the Golden Age of Hollywood. It must have been frustrating to be owned by the studio, but it was also like being in a company, working with the same people, and that appeals to me.

Katherine Waterston

There's kind of no rhyme or reason to what is appealing to any given actor. It just is, or it isn't. It's kind of like dating. You either connect to someone or you don't. You can't really say why.

Katherine Waterston

I wonder sometimes if I've got in the habit of only being courageous when someone else has written the words I have to say.

Katherine Waterston

I really love fashion, but I feel like the older I get, the more I am drawn to the basic things in my daily life because everything else is so goofy and crazy.

Katherine Waterston

The things I love about this business the most, is that it is a challenge trying to prove to everyone - including yourself - that you can do something different than what people think you're capable of.

Katherine Waterston

When you're playing Marilyn Monroe, you have a responsibility to look and sound like her that you don't when you're playing people who weren't ever in the public eye.

Katherine Waterston

There are people who have really high expectations for what we're doing. I have to not think about that so that I can be free and play around every day and not feel like I have to get it right. You want to be loose.

Katherine Waterston

I love that feeling. I guess I love escaping my life, really. I love going into another world and feeling for this amount of time that this is it, this is the world I'm going to live in. You feel it more during the rehearsal process.

Katherine Waterston

Being interviewed is an odd experience for me because I was an actor a long time before anyone ever asked me a question about myself. When I started being interviewed, I definitely felt I was being asked to defend or explain myself.

Katherine Waterston

Costume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out.

Katherine Waterston

I didn't find it difficult to live in the 'Inherent Vice' world or play those scenes, because they just seemed so real.

Katherine Waterston

When I go to see a movie, I never think about all the people it took to make it.

Katherine Waterston

I've always wanted to play the villain. But the young girl is never the villain.

Katherine Waterston

I don't think Paul Thomas Anderson has a standard approach to anything.

Katherine Waterston

You kind of wake up in the morning, and you don't see anybody but these actors until you go home at night and pass out and do it again. So it's structured a lot like the process when you're making a film. You just kind of get in that tunnel vision. I like that. I like when the rest of the world kind of quiets.

Katherine Waterston

The best way to honor real people when you play them is to try to tell the story of their dynamics and the struggles that they're dealing with rather than lose sight of the connections and personal relationships, and do a really good job at an accent.

Katherine Waterston

I've always enjoyed disappearing into a crowd in New York. As an actor, I love to spy, and it's hard to be a good spy if everyone is looking at you. Also, I'm pretty shy. I don't really like a lot of attention.

Katherine Waterston

I feel that nudity is sort of what we do as actors.

Katherine Waterston

I find life so shocking in general. Everything about it surprises me.

Katherine Waterston

I think connecting to a character is like connecting to any human being - either you like them or you don't. You might not be able to list the reasons why you love your best friend or what attracted you to them; it's just something that you feel - a connection, an understanding, or a curiosity that makes you want to get to know them.

Katherine Waterston

I don't like to talk about things unless I have to. I don't like to talk a scene to death or overanalyze it, especially if I feel like I have some way in on my own.
