Allison Tolman Quotes

I really respect the Coen brothers as directors and as creative individuals and with the way that they handle the industry and the business side of things Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what my next dream role gig is, but I have so, so many shows that I’m like, ‘Oh my God, can I guest star on ‘New Girl?’ Like, that would be amazing!’ Picture Quote #1

I was getting a lot of really nasty feedback about my weight during ‘Fargo,’ which is unfortunate because I am statistically a completely average-size woman Picture Quote #1

It’s scary to not know when your next job is coming, and that is a daily fear when you are trying to act full-time Picture Quote #1

I do find that when I see women who flesh out the television or film world and make it look more like the world I actually live in, I gravitate towards those characters Picture Quote #1

It’s interesting to play a female character who’s not ever using feminine wiles to get things done Picture Quote #1

I never really acted full-time. I certainly had gotten past the point where fame and fortune was something that I was dreaming about or anticipating Picture Quote #1

Maybe to my own detriment, but I watched all of ‘Fargo’ probably more than once. And I tend to be a little critical of myself. But I can also let things go. So I can think, ‘Well, that moment didn’t read as well as I thought it would,’ but it doesn’t keep me up at night Picture Quote #1

When I first got out of school, I went on a children’s theater tour, and I went around the country a little bit that fall, and it was the first time I went to Chicago. We spend a couple of days in Chicago, and I was really struck viscerally by the city Picture Quote #1

Improv training allows you to get out of your head a little bit and take more risks, which is something I would like to continue to improve upon Picture Quote #1

I did a 20-minute selection of scenes from the play ‘Spring Awakening’ in college, well before the musical came around, so when the musical was becoming a hot thing, and I was reading interviews with Duncan Sheik about how he came to do the music, I think it’s interesting Picture Quote #1

Most of the time you spend filming a show is time you spend without the cameras on, when you’re not acting Picture Quote #1

I guess my interest in performance has evolved and changed many times over the years Picture Quote #1

At 32, I kind of thought I was past the point where I was gonna get a break that really changed my life overnight Picture Quote #1

Someone asked me about how it feels to wear the same costume every day and whether it gets tired or boring, but the good thing about it is that you know what to expect, every day Picture Quote #1

The best thing I ever learned when I first started acting is that you audition, and then you forget about it when you walk out the door. Even when you have a callback, you can’t bank on things until you actually book that job, or your heart will just be broken over and over again Picture Quote #1

I started getting Twitter followers after I started doing press for ‘Fargo.’ One of my best friends from college is a librarian, and she started tracking after each interview how many Twitter followers I got. She and her librarian friends were like, ‘We’re going to make a graph.’ And I was like, ‘Alright, nerds.’ Picture Quote #1

I know the benefits of having a really great improv show are amazing because it was this one rare and fleeting thing that was incredible, but the risk just didn’t appeal to me. I liked the control of sitting down and writing things Picture Quote #1

My mother has stories of leaving me in the bath as small kid, like a 3-year-old, and there being mirrors on the side, and her going to get a towel and coming back in, and me making faces at myself, like, ‘Now I’m happy. Now I’m sad.’ Picture Quote #1

Body-shaming is something I feel really strongly about. I think about my niece, I think about my friends who have daughters being on the Internet and reading these things, and it just makes me furious. It makes me so angry Picture Quote #1

I need an office and a place I can sit down to get away from television and just write Picture Quote #1
