Glenn Close quotes about
happened holds
in no way, holds you responsible for what happened to Troy.
topics speak mental-illness
It is an odd paradox that a society, which can now speak openly and unabashedly about topics that were once unspeakable, still remains largely silent when it comes to mental illness
heart adventure soul
Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That's basically what we do.
bunnies proud language
Bunny boiler is now part of our language, and I'm proud of that.
stars thinking movie-star
I never got into this business thinking I'd be like a movie star.
names worry important
It's gotten out of control. It's taking bigger and bigger names to make smaller and smaller films. I worry that important films without a big name attached won't get made at all.
writing challenges brain
When you're on the set, and sometimes, because it's been so complex and the writers have been really writing, sometimes up until the last minute and you kind of sit back; you separate yourself from your brain, and you say, let me see if you can do this. And that's the kind of challenge I like.
writing actors lines
As an actor, I go where the good writing is. That's the bottom line.
leadership wisdom pain
Robin [Williams] was a world treasure. As we mourn his tragic death, we must remember him for the great waves of laughter that he was able to illicit from us, how his humor and insights - though they came from a place of pain and uncertainty - connected us and reminded us of how flawed and fragile...how human we are. How we are capable of moments of inspired transcendence and others of unspeakable despair.
heart thinking voice
In a recent issue of Parade Magazine when asked for "Advice for a Younger You," Glenn Close responded: "I'd tell myself to listen to my heart. Listen to that little voice that says, 'Mmm, I don't think so.' Because when you override that, you basically override who you are.
talking bored i-can
I get bored talking about myself, but I can talk about the work.
careers bored pace
And when you're with a great crew like we had, it becomes a thrilling, again, collaboration, which is to me one of the great aspects of the process that you go through. I find myself at this point in my career, getting potentially, incredibly bored if I stand around a lot, so that's why I really like the pace of television.
night oscars mistaken
I've often been mistaken for Meryl Streep, although never on Oscar night.
wind gone dressers
I had a dresser who literally squeezed me in like Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
