Allison Janney's quotes

[on her towering height] Years ago, one casting agent told me that the only roles I could play were lesbians and aliens.
Listen, I'm an actor. I can make anyone believe anything. I don't have to know what the hell I'm talking about.
I hate auditioning so much. I like people who go, "You know what? Allison can do this.".
I get cast as either the smartest woman in the room or the drunkest woman in the room, and a lot of stuff in between.
Always go to bed with clean feet. That's from my grandma.
