Annette Bening Quotes

I love being busy, and I love having a lot going on; it’s exciting Picture Quote #1

Most people are looking for something to give their life meaning Picture Quote #1

I act, but I am a mother first and wife second Picture Quote #1

We all get lost along the way, but hopefully we figure out some sort of path. It helps if you can imagine the process as well as the goal. Those kinds of dreams are easier to achieve Picture Quote #1

Our children see us a certain way, and we want to be seen by them in a certain way. I certainly want to be a strong, stable, loving, consistent presence in my children’s lives. But we are human beings, too Picture Quote #1

I knew I wanted children in my life. The acting was always in relation to it. Life at home is chaos. They’re wonderful. They’re such interesting human beings. I just love it. I’m lucky Picture Quote #1

I saw a Shakespeare play when I was - I guess I was in junior high. And I just fell in love with the theater because, for me, it was a combination of big ideas and feeling Picture Quote #1

I think what’s interesting about the whole paparazzi thing is that unless you’re Brad Pitt or Madonna, you can pretty much avoid it. You know when you’re going to an opening that you will be photographed, so that’s fine. And you know the restaurants that have paparazzi, so you don’t go to them Picture Quote #1

There’s love for your parents, your family, your spouse, your partner, your friends, but the nature of the connection you have with your child, there’s nothing like it. It has its own character and it’s so serious and so powerful, and so it’s a prism through which I see everything Picture Quote #1

Anybody who has children and children who are well feels a sense of responsibility towards parents and kids and families that are struggling and that aren’t well Picture Quote #1

I still remember the five points of salesmanship: attention, interest, conviction, desire and close Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to make a living in this business. Unions aren’t as strong as they used to be. For a journeyman actor - someone who doesn’t have a famous name but has consistent work in theater or film or TV - it has become harder to get through, harder to raise a family Picture Quote #1

Critics have a responsibility to put things in a cultural and sociological or political context. That is important Picture Quote #1

There are so many different kinds of relationships, so it’s sort of difficult to define what is considered normal Picture Quote #1

I have perfected the art of putting my feet on my husband’s lap during awards ceremonies so he can rub them Picture Quote #1

I do have to take care of myself, not only because I’m in the movies, just for mental health reasons. I exercise for me. You know, maybe it would be nice to not have to do that in order to feel good, but I do. I feel like I have to, to feel good. To clear my head and all of that, so Picture Quote #1

There’s no question that you can explore aspects of yourself through roles that you play, and you get a chance to investigate yourself; that’s healthy, and it’s therapeutic in a way. But if you’re indulging yourself, exploration at the cost of the story or the project, that’s not good Picture Quote #1

I feel very, very lucky to have come from the family I did. We have our dysfunctions and our problems, just like any family. But my parents are extremely loving people Picture Quote #1

In a film, if you can capture what’s going on underneath, you can begin to make a connection between the character and the people watching it Picture Quote #1

If you’re an actor, you have to find a way to make peace with all the media attention Picture Quote #1

Five billion people have played Hamlet. ‘To be or not to be.’ And how do you do that and find your way into your own journey, your own way of telling it? Picture Quote #1

To me idealized characters are so boring to play, especially having grown up in the classical theater. That’s a great experience, but as a woman, especially, you’ve played a lot of idealized characters. So when you’ve got someone who has weaknesses as well as strengths, that’s interesting Picture Quote #1

If you can open people’s hearts first, then maybe people’s minds get opened after that Picture Quote #1

When I look at women, older than I am, in their 50s, 60, 70s, 80s, and I see women that I admire, I think, ‘Oh, I get it; that’s how I’m going to be.’ I’m not scared. I want to be that Picture Quote #1

I think we as celebrities have a lot more control Picture Quote #1

And if there’s anything movies can do in a way that I just love, and I love as an audience is, “Show me something I don’t know about. Show me something I haven’t seen Picture Quote #1

By the time I was in high school, roe v. Wade had passed, so that was also happening; girls were getting pregnant and getting abortions - and that happened in my school too Picture Quote #1

I knew I wanted children in my life. The acting was always in relation to it. Life at home is chaos. They’re wonderful. They’re such interesting human beings. I just love it. I’m lucky Picture Quote #1

Oh, honey, I’m from Oklahoma! This is who I am - middle-class all the way! Picture Quote #1

The tension I feel is the moment they say, ‘Action!’ Movies are like lightning in a bottle, and you always want to find when you possibly can catch a surprising moment Picture Quote #1
