Melanie Griffith's quotes

  • [about her work with James Woods] It's kind of like being pregnant. You know, you go through the initial joy of it. Then you go through wanting it to be over. And then you're finished with it and you forget how bad it was.
  • There's a bit of a stripper in every woman.
  • I don't walk around with fear. I walk around with strength. I believe in cause and effect.
  • I don't think I'm beautiful. When I look in the mirror, I just see me - and, I'm pretty used to me.
  • Antonio is the best. He is compassionate and humble.
  • Angelina Jolie may get him [husband Antonio Banderas] in bed for eight hours on a movie set, but I get him in bed every day.
  • [on being typed as a sex symbol] I hope not! I don't want to be -- I've done enough parts like that. I can't say I won't do more, but I really want to do a variety of roles.
  • I would just like to be able to give to people through acting. If I can entertain people by being somebody else and allow somebody to feel something, then that makes me feel good.
  • I like smoking! I mean, God, I quit everything else, can't I smoke?
  • [on Bruce Willis] I think he's pretty damn near perfect except for the Republican thing.

  • It's a scary thing when you're an actress and you depend on your face for work.
  • Alec Baldwin is handsome and charming, and I just had such a crush on him. But he wouldn't go there with me. I was like, 'Oh come on, have a romance with me!' But no, Alec said, 'I can't do this with people I work with.' He's a sweetheart.
