Famous quotes by Jennifer Jason Leigh:

"People can have so many ill-conceived ideas about me based on the parts that I play. I've had guys, when I've been single, come out of the woodwork to date me and I've found out very quickly that they were expecting some kind of whirlwind, some dramatic crazy person - and that's just not me."

"I like a movie that the audience actively has to participate in, and not just casually observe. Whatever my part in it, just as an audience member, I find that exciting."

"Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying. I've never been happier."

"I'd much rather be in a movie that people have really strong feelings about than one that makes a hundred million dollars but you can't remember because it's just like all the others."

"I just don't plan things. I live a month at a time."

"I could never play the ingenue, the girl next door or the very successful young doctor. That would be a bore."

"I'm a typical middle child. I'm the mediator. The one that makes everything OK, puts their own needs aside to make sure everybody's happy. It's hard to change your nature, even with years and years of therapy."

"I love being in therapy. It's just constantly fulfilling for me."

"I used to hang out by the food table at parties because you don't have to talk to anybody. If you do then you can talk about the food."

"Your best friend is the only one who would tell you the person you are in love with is a sexually ambivalent man-child."

"I hate parties. I don't like big crowded things."

"I just don't want to talk about my personal life. I feel like it's mine, I'm not trying to promote it. It's nice to have things that are your own, that you value enough that you don't have to use to sell a movie."

"It's very exciting to work with people who inspire you."

"I've always done roles that really appealed to me on a gut level and which I found inspiring."

"I love Polaroids and I have a Polaroid camera collection from the '50s."

"Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying."

"People equate success with youth. And if you haven't had a certain amount of success by a certain time in your life, it's never going to happen. There's a fear about that. So people start lying about their age really young. I've never done that because I think it's so insignificant."

"I don't really watch my moves all that often; I mean, really, I don't."

"I like to investigate all different kinds of people, I guess, and find out what makes them who they are, and try to be honest in the portrayal, and truthful, and find out how to understand that person, how to communicate that person's experience."

"You know, you really do choose your existence in a way."
