Famous quotes by Martha Plimpton:

"I'm so sick of hearing how there's no strong roles for women. I don't care about strong roles. I just want to see women who are characters! A nun, a serial killer, a housewife, as long as there's some depth there."

"I'd just like to see a role for women where someone who isn't traditionally attractive is not portraying the best friend. You know, the character that only speaks in questions. 'Gee, are you gonna go out with him? Do you think I look fat?'"

"Being nominated is the win. For me, being nominated is winning. It's just unbelievable."

"When you're working with good people it brings good things out in you."

"I don't pay attention to the ratings."

"Who owns your body? You or the state?"

"I just want to be clear, I am a very dark and bitter person, but I think on some level, everything really does come when it's meant to come."

"I would almost rather be in debt constantly than work with horrible people that I hate."

"It's long past time we started focusing on the solutions that actually keep women healthy, instead of using basic aspects of women's health as a tool of cultural, moral, and political control."

"I am a United States citizen and I vote."

"I've had cats all my life and obviously loved them, but the litter box, and the having to always get a house sitter, they're just too - they're too rigid. Cats are too needy somehow."

"My mother had been an actress and we came from that world in New York, the theater world and the downtown sort of theater scene, and so I guess we didn't really have what you'd call like a Hollywood kind of life at all."

"I'm hoping maybe people like working with me because I like what I do for a living and I want to have a good time."

"I wasn't paraded around for sale at all. My mother wasn't into that."

"Women have always been at the forefront of progressive movements. Women can be depended on when you need bodies in the streets for women's rights and human rights."

"At this point, I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie."

"Independent film is not only an oxymoron; it doesn't exist anymore."

"We don't want to come off as pro-smoking. Even though we didn't smoke real cigarettes at all, you want to be careful of people's sensitivities."

"My mom just didn't put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything."
