Holly Hunter's quotes

Acting, for me, is the last vestige of doing something that I would like to feel really naive about. - Interview, November 1995.
I always feel that I am the advocate for my character. More than anyone else on the set, including the director. I'm there to protect my character, in a way.
Actors are beggars and gypsies, that's just the way it is. And in many ways, I take what I can get. But I do search high and low for stuff that interests me.
I get cold really quickly, but I don't care. I like weather. I never understand why people move someplace so that they can avoid weather.
I've never directed, but it must be humbling.
I really admire people who are extraordinarily tolerant and patient.
Mothers and daughters can stay very connected during teenage years. In the middle of your life, you can become very alone. Even though you're connected deeply to other family members, lovers, husbands, friends.
I think it's really odd, too, that the public is so privy to how much money the actors make and what movies cost. It seems to me to be beside the point. When I go to a movie I really don't want to think about the money. I want to see the story.
