Zitat des Tages von Lauren Graham:
Like my dad, I have a Christmas party most years. I like to celebrate and see as many people as possible.
I've dated people who I thought were going to be a big deal in my life, and I've also spent long periods by myself.
Belly buttons are cool!
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100!
I'm baffled when young actors aren't familiar with current film, television and theater, or aren't interested in older films or plays and the history of the craft in general. If you don't know what's out there, and what came before, then how can you picture yourself working, and how can anyone else?
I've learned a lot from trainers over the years, but mainly that you need discipline to stay in the gym and out of the many fine cupcake emporiums on every corner.
The thing I don't like on television is when somebody does something that makes absolutely no sense just for the shock of it.
Nobody ever seems to want my advice about serious stuff. People will be like: 'Who made that sweater?' Or 'How did you get your hair so straight?' They don't to come to me for the relationship advice or deep stuff. In fact, my little sister actually hides from me.
It's great to have an acting job in the age of Reality TV.
'Mom' isn't an adjective or a personality; they're not all the same.
If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now.
I'm nice, and I show up on time.
Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can't find his car keys, much less keep a national secret.
I really think if you're trying to look good, do something athletic. I have a little mini tramp, and sometimes I'll just try to jump for 20 minutes. It gets your blood circulating, and that always looks really pretty.
I've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life.
Texting is not flirting, if you don't care about me enough to say the words than that's not love, I don't like it!
Having trees and a track to run on have become more important to me than living near cool restaurants.
You want the story to end when it's supposed to and not be squeezed for somebody's financial gain.
I would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.
One of the things I like about the show is it redefines the idea of what it is to be a mother, which at its most basic level is to take care of a child. It doesn't mean you have to look like the ladies in the Lysol commercials.
I get a delivery of a diet food during the week, which doesn't mean that I don't eat the occasional Krispy Kreme doughnut.
I've pretty much always been on a diet since I was born. And the women in my family struggle, so I find the less I think about food, in a way, the happier I am. In general, I think I eat less the less I think about it.
My time at Barnard was fun but stressful. I transferred there from the acting conservatory at NYU, and my Rolling Around On the Floor Pretending to Be a Lion classes didn't translate into many academic credits.
I just don't know that a TV show demands a movie ending.
I dream of playing Lady Cora's sister on 'Downton Abbey.'
I've seen 'The Godfather Part II,' 'Broadcast News,' and 'Annie Hall' more than 20 times each.
While I very much wanted to be in a relationship, I didn't want to be in the wrong one.
My mother had lived in London since I was little, so she never got to see my school plays and stuff.
I've always really liked being active. I do Spinning classes, I run, I have a trainer, I do Pilates with my sister Shade.
Strangers were worried about me; that's how long I was single!
I always saw myself as a comedic actor and wacky best friend.
These days I have to be extra nice in stores. It never fails that whenever I look as bad as I can possibly look or I am sort of cranky because the store is out of something, that is precisely the time when someone one will recognize me and say: 'I really like your show.'
All TV shows are basically part of the same storyline.
I think what my hope is is that the only downside of having a steady job on television is, I think for all actors, there's a piece, there's some adrenaline, and part of the love of the job is not knowing what's coming next, and the variety.
I take the no-doughnut pledge, and then I break it.
