Rachel Griffiths's quotes

  • I think family movies have gotten so rich in this country.
  • I think baseball - the baseball genre - is this mitt, to use a double pun there, to catch a whole bunch of themes.
  • I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.
  • I just don't see where I could possibly fit in directing a feature.
  • I grew up on cricket and I think Australian kids are getting so Americanized, you know?
  • But just playing the partner of someone famous, I had a lot more freedom.
  • A Golden Globe is a mood-altering substance, there's no doubt about that.
  • I'm developing some screenplays at the moment with my Australian producer.
  • It was a lovely opportunity for the first time in my whole career to stand up and thank people who are really responsible for me getting to realise my dreams.
  • There's nothing as exciting as a comeback - seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance.
  • We've got our football where no one wears anything and the guys are in little shorts and they beat the crap out of each other, and they can catch it and they can kick it, and it's the only place it's played in the world.
  • I found it an interesting portrait of a marriage in exploring notions of how one partner supports the other, whilst not jeopardising the greater good - which is the family.
  • And I grew up watching all the British ones so when you hear that from an early age, it makes it much easier than you guys who don't grow up with Australian television or British television.
  • Why movies are so powerful is because you are right in there and you stay in there until they want you to come out, and then you've really gone somewhere.
  • You know Texas is - even more now that Enron has bit the dust - it's held up on the back of small businesses.
  • The filmmaker's got to make it his story and the actors have got to make it their story.
  • People going into the cities for the opportunities and the towns are getting older, no young people.
  • I'm so motivated to collaborate with people and help them realise the kind of collective vision.
  • I'm quite intuitive about what I pick. Often it's to do with what I've just done and how I'm feeling.
  • I'm pretty ruthless about that; I think when you sign over your story, you sign over your story.
