Famous quotes by Joan Allen:

"a lady who couldn't keep her legs together."

"Who's gonna do your hair, who's gonna do your make-up, the jewelry, the bag, what kind of stockings?"

"With something that's more emotionally based, you can't sort of screw the line up a little bit and adlib and something."

"Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession."

"I certainly do get at the end of my rope at times. We all do."

"I think that I do separate myself a fair amount. And I don't feel like I am representing women. That's up to however people interpret it once they sort of see it."

"I don't have a political bone in my body."

"It's such a great feeling to make people laugh. I know I've made people cry or want to slit their wrists, but to make people laugh is a very intoxicating, wonderful thing."

"Acting gave me the opportunity to do outrageous things. It allowed me to be sad, happy, angry and lustful even if it was just vicariously."

"I'm not a huge risk taker... I'm not going to jump out of an airplane and parachute and things like that. That's not really me."

"I just try and do the best with every role I get to do. Hopefully the experience in itself is a good experience and people will want to work with me."

"I think I knew acting was what I wanted to do. But I was from this small town and there was no place for an adult to recognise it."

"I never liked the bar scene. I tried to like it. I would give it a try every three or four months. I'd think, tonight I'm going out. But I never met anybody in that circumstance."

"I get recognised sometimes. But I just live my life. I get on the bus, I get on the subway, it's not a problem."

"I'm hard to pin down. I tend to look different in films."

"I think of myself more as a character actor than that ingenue leading lady, who started out something like Michelle Pfeiffer, or Jessica Lange. I'm a bit quirkier than that."

"Once I got to high school and auditioned for a play and got in, I thought this was really what I was looking for. Once that had got cleared up, from 13 on, that was it."

"Acting gave me the opportunity to do outrageous things. It allowed me to be sad, happy, angry and lustful, even if it was just vicariously."

"I was a very good girl for a long time, that's what really drew me to acting. The stage was the perfect place to be outrageous, to be sad, to be angry, to be all these different things."
