Glenn Close quotes about
book thinking wife
I knew the term Stepford Wife, and I knew what that meant. I never read the book, and I think before I started filming I watched the movie. I thought it was very dated.
challenges mouths four
So you have the challenge of just learning the lines, period, and not only learning them, but learning them to the extent that you assimilate them, so that you're not worried about what the next word is coming out of your mouth when it comes to doing a scene. And you're also in the trenches with the writers, just in the wonderful kind of back and forth of how is it best to say something, even if it involves four or five words. I love that kind of thing.
voice path insight
Be aware of your inner voice and follow it, even though most of the time it will tell you the most uncomfortable path to choose.
independent film made
I've always felt that an independent film is a film that almost doesn't get made.
littles strange kind
It puts you in a kind of a strange situation where everybody is looking at every little thing you do.
actors contribution
I'm an actor, that's my contribution.
writing thinking awards
My fellow actors inspire me a lot and really good writing inspires me. And then trying to stick to the decision to only do something that I think will challenge me and that I, personally and very subjectively, I think is good not do something because I think it will bring me a lot of money or bring me a lot of awards. I've tried to very, very rigorously be highly subjective about what I do. And that's something that I think I have basically lived by.
shrimp destructive
When you learn how much bycatch comes from shrimp [and how destructive it is] - I'm not going to eat shrimp anymore.
dream able television
I also have always felt that television has a huge potential for the kinds of audiences that some films would never dream or ever be able to have. So that potential is very exciting to me.
communication mind moments
And those moments that I find mind busting. Meaning like there's a word that I find in a weird place. I love the process of going to the writer and working that out, because that's just basic communication.
real book impact
I love histories. I love learning. I love books that talk about people who made a real impact on history, because it always has to do with who they were at that time and what their personalities were like and what their strengths and weaknesses were.
morning exercise choices
I left the studio at 5:30 in the morning. It's an incredible mind exercise. You have to, obviously, have stamina, but you really feel like you're kind of feeding your mind. It's a challenge of learning lines very fast and then you have to be lose enough to hopefully make good choices in a much shorter amount of time that it takes to film certain scenes.
ocean sea swimmer
I'm not a natural ocean person. I married into a family of swimmers, and I've slowly been drawn into the sea.
ocean thinking people
People think that the ocean is big enough to sustain anything we throw at it - its hard to get into your head that it's actually finite.
