Zitat des Tages von Lea Thompson:
'Red Dawn' was very resonant with a lot of people - they love that movie. I always thought it was a little hysterical.
My mother told me to raise my kids with calculated neglect. They get their self-worth from doing what they can do and not having everything done for them.
I think it's really hard to understand the depths and the power of the love that someone has for their children unless you really have children.
Of course, I'd like to produce and direct a blockbuster, but you gotta build up to that. So now I'm learning from a bunch of little movies. And it's more fun with smaller pictures. It's more creative.
So when my film career took off, I always felt like I was trying to play catch-up because I hadn't studied acting before. I didn't know how to manage money or my career. When I look back, I think I was a little bit shell-shocked.
It's actually shocking to me how hard it's been to get back into the movie business.
Usually, you don't really end up lifelong buddies with your co-stars.
I was such a fan of Cyndi Lauper and her whole 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' thing.
I love really crappy carnivals, where you think the ride is going to break. There's something so seedy about them.
And I definitely gravitate toward people who use laughter to pull themselves out of the abyss.
One thing the futurists never get right, though, is that the extreme desire for polyester only lasted a brief period in the '70s!
'Howard the Duck!' That's a really interesting movie. I appreciate my career, because I've had a lot of very interesting ups and downs, and most people... That movie is such a famous flop. In a land of a lot of flops, it's kind of awesome to be in a really famous flop. I mean, it's kind of a poster child for flops.
'Red Dawn' was really the most fun I ever had making a movie, because I love Westerns, and I love the idea of being a tomboy, and riding horses and shooting guns.
The whole experience of doing a sitcom is... Telling jokes with such precision is really exciting, but it's also terrifying.
It's hard not to want to strangle people when you work with them for four years.
I hate when people don't hear the actual words out of your mouth or even the intent of it. They just hear something completely different.
I had been a ballet dancer and never could make a living, and just being so excited that I got to, all of a sudden, live as an actor.
I don't like a class system. I don't like the idea of being in a different class than other people.
I have to read something positive every single day. I have to have faith that the day is unfolding in a way that is going to be useful to somebody else... For me, living every day in gratitude has been profound for me.
