Famous quotes by Karen Allen:

"[When we filmed Animal House, I] found John [Belushi] astonishingly shy and vulnerable. Rather than being a confident established star, he seemed nervous about meeting everyone, about fitting in."

"[They were] a small group of actors in their 20s, run by a man who had experience with Peter Brook and Grotowski, and I spent five years with them, producing, directing and acting."

"Idleness does drive me crazy, but I'd rather read or write than do anything just to work. A kind of respect has been instilled in me for acting: I love it too much to ever have a bad relationship with it."

"[Life means] giving as much of yourself as you have to give."

"I was so lucky. I was very broke and I was taking classes at Lee Strasberg's Institute and I saw a 3 X 5 index card on the bulletin board advertising for college-aged girls for a film. That was Animal House"

"I loved living and breathing theatre so much that I decided I had to find a way to bring my desire to act and my ability to support myself together. I'd run through the possibilities in Washington, so that meant moving to New York"

"I've never done anything for money. My first love is things of limited commercial appeal. I could be happy doing Shakespeare for the rest of my life."

"Someone born in Brazil is an American. Anyone born on the western hemisphere is an American. American is not a nationality."

"I've always done things the hard way. I was born like a piece of tangled yarn. The job is trying to untangle it, and I'll probably go on doing it for the rest of my life."

"Eventually you love people - friends or lovers - because of their flaws."

"I feel as though I would be delighted to come back into working in the film world, and working in the theater world again. I'm just gonna see what happens."

"I loved living and breathing theatre so much that I decided I had to find a way to bring my desire to act and my ability to support myself together. I'd run through the possibilities in Washington, so that meant moving to New York."

"I don't know if I've ever played a character who's close to me. There have been some elements of myself in different roles. Sometimes, I show one side of myself and then completely conceal the other."

"I'm from a generation of fantastic actresses. It's a big pool of really wonderful actresses, and so many of them we never even get to see on the screen anymore."

"People want to see a movie that casts a mature woman across from a mature man."

"The secrecy thing has gotten to be more and more prevalent in films, and maybe that's good. It's nice to go see a film and not know anything about it. Sometimes I feel like we know too much about films."

"A lot of times when I've been offered film series and stuff, if they shoot in Los Angeles, I lose interest."

"I'm about as healthy as a person can be. I quit smoking seven or eight years ago."

"My son was born somewhat late in my life and I just found myself really feeling like I didn't want to miss out on being a parent and being with him, and not wanting a situation where I was constantly pulled back and forth between being present, and having all these other pressures and considerations."
