Annette Bening Quotes

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

I don’t see myself as competing with other actresses. I mean, I went through a time when I was in New York, and I was going to lots of auditions and trying to get parts, but even then, you’re not really competing with the other actresses. There is a competition going on, but it’s not like something you can win in that way Picture Quote #1

It used to be the one or the other, right? You were the bad girl or the good girl or the bad mother or the good mother, the horrible businesswoman who eschewed her children or the earth mother who was happy to be at home baking pies, all of that stuff that we sort of knew was a lie Picture Quote #1

Somebody said something really smart: It’s like you end up being the defense attorney for your role. Your job is to defend their point of view. You’re fighting for what they want. You learn that in acting school - it’s Acting 1A: ‘What do you want? What’s in the way?’ Picture Quote #1

Acting is not about being famous, it’s about exploring the human soul Picture Quote #1

Don’t wait to have a baby! Do it now! Picture Quote #1

We still want to idealize moms, and sometimes we want to idealize actresses who are moms, too. I know that’s something I’ve experienced, but we’re all just doing the best we can and we’re all trying to raise our kids and talk to them about everything that needs to be discussed Picture Quote #1

I am really looking forward as I get older and older, to being less and less nice Picture Quote #1

We want to be seen for who we really are, and each person has his own complex story and reasons for doing what they do Picture Quote #1

I think where I’ve instinctively found myself is that I am somewhat guarded in my public life. Being interviewed or being photographed or just in public attention, I have a certain reserve. But when I’m working I feel like I’m very open. At least I like to believe that I feel like nothing is held back when I’m in front of a camera. That’s my job Picture Quote #1

I like that I’ve been through things, that when something happens, it resonates with something that already happened. It’s not that things like loss are more or less painful. But they’re deeper. I find that fascinating Picture Quote #1

I didn’t do a movie until I was almost 30. I’m grateful for that because it gave me a chance to be an adult in the world and do work in the regional theater that very few people cared about. I loved it and I wanted to do that stuff 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

My parents were very supportive. They went to every show. And they never told me not to do what I was doing Picture Quote #1

Yes, I know I’ve played these women, but I’m not really conniving at all Picture Quote #1
