Marisa Tomei's quotes

  • I don't prefer much of film over stage... The only thing I prefer is the paycheck.
  • Singing really oxygenates your blood. You stretch your lungs and take in much more air into them than before. It's really good for your health.
  • I feel like theatre gives me the grounding, and keeps me alive, basically. Film gives me the thrill, and it's like a one night stand. But I do enjoy being around people who love it so much.
  • [on marriage and starting her own family] I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.
  • [on her role in The Wrestler (2008)] What didn't appeal to me was, frankly, New Jersey, naked, winter!
  • [on pole dancing] It's really physically hard! That pole work is crazy hard; to be really good on that pole and you have to be really strong.
  • You can't really be old in L.A., it's kind of like a crime.
  • (1996) When I was first starting, I went to an agent who told me, 'Listen, you'll be lucky if you do summer stock. Pack it up.' Once in a while I think about him, but I'm happy with myself. So, what does he matter?
  • [if she had social media when she was younger] I would've made a fool of myself many times over.
