Famous quotes by Marisa Tomei:

"I grew up on musicals, and I know they are quite the thing now, but I'm actually a little indignant, because I started taking singing lessons years ago-I put the time in!"

"With acting, it was really more of a general kind of experience of really just loving being in the theater."

"All of us have read the stories about young people in Hollywood and all the challenges they have to confront there, and I think that artistically, I really didn't understand the commercial side of the film business, so I went back to a purely artistic setting."

"Film, there's this whole allure because it just lasts and lasts, but I think the allure for me of doing a play is that it's almost like the sand paintings they make in Venice. It just goes away after one time, and that's it. You had to be there that one night to be part of that."

"I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist."

"I don't prefer much of film over stage. The only thing I prefer is the paycheck."

"A man like Wilde was not free to live out of the closet as a homosexual, and women in general were not able to be truly themselves; there was no place for a woman's voice to be heard or for her to express her sexuality."

"You have your structure, but within it, it gets fuller and you can highlight other parts of the performance."

"You express different energies at different times in your life."

"As Jesus was coming to be known, all the cults of women goddesses-fertility and nature goddesses, and so on-were starting to be swept aside."

"I don't prefer much of film over stage... The only thing I prefer is the paycheck."

"I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings."

"I think the fantasy of being a movie star is more powerful than the reality. So, for me, even if it's not a great film or a great play I'm doing, to know that you went for it. You had an experience that made you grow artistically and personally. What's really satisfying is knowing that you did a good job."

"I feel like theatre gives me the grounding, and keeps me alive, basically. Film gives me the thrill, and it's like a one night stand. But I do enjoy being around people who love it so much."

"Singing really oxygenates your blood. You stretch your lungs and take in much more air into them than before. It's really good for your health."

"Not to get overly psychological about this, but it's probably why I became an actress in the first place: for that kind of freedom and refuge, as well as for the fact that I just love acting so much."

"I am really not of the school of naturalism. I like style, and you can use more style in theater than in film roles. I love to sink my teeth into a part."

"I grew up on musicals, and I know they are quite the thing now, but I'm actually a little indignant, because I started taking singing lessons years ago - I put the time in!"

"I've just been really lucky to not be too much of a stereotype."

"I prefer to express myself physically, or non-verbally. I prefer just to react without having a lot of dialogue."
