Famous quotes by Patricia Clarkson:

"See, the SAG awards caught me totally by surprise."

"But no, had I been successful in my 20s I would have been just fine. But it is nice to defy the odds."

"The majority of work I do is in independent films, where you're lucky if you have five takes."

"And it's not that I haven't taken a money job here and there but for the most part I have been driven by the need to work on a great script."

"I have to watch the news or my day is not complete."

"I think it kind of took being a character actor to kind of now enter into leading ladies."

"But I do really love watching the news and going back and forth between all the news channels. That's really just kind of the highlight of my day."

"I think it would be hard to go the distance in this business without a sense of humor."

"I was never girlish. My sense of humor was never quite the fit. My voice was never high enough. I was never sexy in that way."

"It's maybe a little sweeter now. Maybe it's a little easier now because I have a life and I hopefully am more secure in mind and body and spirit."

"I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director."

"Holly Hunter has been doing great work forever."

"Why are comedic parts for women the exception, not the rule?"

"I think it's always harder in a film to convey intimacy."

"And I have a really great agent and I know it's almost an oxymoron to say you have a smart agent. But she is and she has a beautiful aesthetic and she has guided me."

"If my gravy train stops at SAG, honey, it's been a great ride."

"And now oddly I'm getting sexier parts than I've ever gotten."

"I'll read a script maybe twice, but I'll think about the role more than I'll rehearse lines."

"Well did graduate summa cum laude from Fordham University."
