Mary-Louise Parker's quotes

• I don't really ever think about whether or not I like the characters I'm playing. I'm more into the minutiae of their behaviour or what they're doing in a certain scene.
• The theater is who I am - it's where I feel the most inspired, the most at home, the most useful.
• My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.
• My sister's fish tacos are out of control. I'd give her a restaurant if I were a gazillionaire.
• My favorite scene in all of the movies is Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962): You see him where he's on the porch, and his face is almost completely obscured. I don't want to see his face.
• I certainly was never the pretty girl at school, but I can go to a lot of different places with this face.
• People have a problem with me being different, but that propels me forward in life.
• It's good to feel stupid sometimes and do things that are out of your comfort zone.
• Mediocrity is underrated.
• Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones.
• I like to pretend that I'm a tough guy. It's kind of an admission of defeat if I have to ask for help - or even kindness. But if it doesn't come, at some point I snap and demand it.
• I don't think you necessarily have to be part of a traditional nuclear family to be a good mother.
• I enjoy cooking and baking. Alicia Silverstone's vegan cookbook is awesome.
• My parents have been together for 65 years. They're both really stubborn. They're not quitters.
• I feel like movies, if there's any kind of budget whatsoever, there's so much sitting, and I really like to work. Otherwise my blood sugar just drops, you know, six hours sitting in a camper.
• I don't live in Los Angeles and I don't do a lot of superfluous press.
• I don't get tired of hearing that somebody liked my work.
• I like A&E. I like those corny intimate-portrait things. They're so kind of ingenious and artificial and soothing.
• I do love my avocados, which are great for the skin. I eat pretty healthfully.
• My mother is a beauty.
• I don't often see the movies I'm in; I'm usually disappointed in myself and it only serves to make me self-conscious.
• I have to say, I haven't really worked with that many people in my career that I haven't liked, which I think is really rare.
• I have a child and I don't want to be at work all the time when he's small. I want to spend time with him.
• I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.
• I just want to make lunches and organize my kids' playroom.
• I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.
• Look, I don't care if anyone likes me when it comes to my work. But I can be massively insecure in other parts of my life.
• In college, my teachers were usually after me for going after comedy too much, leaning too much in that direction.
• I'm not comfortable with getting a job by being at the right Hollywood party; I'm not a terribly sociable creature.
• I never know why people come up to me. I think a lot of them just get super-excited because they recognize me from TV but they don't remember where.
