Edie Falco Quotes

I’ve never been all that interested or aware of what people are thinking about me or saying about me. I think that has kept me safest and sanest Picture Quote #1

But I’ve always been hard to cast, I’ve never been an ingenue, I’ve never been the romantic lead. I’m an actor; give me the script and I do what I do and hope it’s good Picture Quote #1

I’ve watched those shows my whole life - being on one is like a dream. It’s hard to balance that dream with the fact that this is the Edie I’ve known my whole life Picture Quote #1

Well, yeah, but I probably wasn’t as open about my desperation Picture Quote #1

I’m an old-school, embarrassing Joni Mitchell fan. Her music made a hook in my soul and hasn’t let go for all these years. I even sing her songs as lullabies to my kids Picture Quote #1

I have this dog named Marley, and it is a kind of love I had never known. I have a hard time believing Marley did not come from my body. I know that sounds insane, but I feel that connected to her. She made me realize I wanted to adopt children Picture Quote #1

I’ve also learned to no longer feel guilty if I’m invited out and don’t want to go. If I start to say to myself, ‘What’s wrong with you that you’re staying in five nights in a row to watch ‘Forensic Files’ instead of going out with your friends’ I remind myself that it’s what I need to do for myself at that point Picture Quote #1

I sort of love reading the scripts and going, ‘Oh wow, what a great idea. I never would have thought of that Picture Quote #1

I have lots of friends and, like me, they’re not married. So my kids have lots of godparents - men and women, gay and straight. My loft is always filled with people helping me out with them and loving them Picture Quote #1

It’s a very complicated issue, this fame thing - I was not really cut out for it. There are some really fantastic things about it, but it’s difficult for a private person like myself Picture Quote #1

My friends started having children after college, while I was pursuing this crazy acting career and living hand to mouth. Plus, all my boyfriends were artists struggling to make a living. Having kids didn’t make any sense - why would I take on more of a financial burden when I couldn’t even afford a dog? Picture Quote #1

The high-grossing films are not all that interesting to me, I have to say. It’s not stuff I would want to be in. Yes, you would want the big paycheck, but that’s never really been my concern Picture Quote #1

Writers, actors, anybody working on an ensemble-type thing, there are going to be some creaks in the beginning. It seems like there’s tremendous potential in just letting things sort of breathe a little bit. It’s tremendously important Picture Quote #1

Being a single mother was the right thing for me. But I have a tremendous amount of help from my friends. They’re in love with my kids, and my kids are in love with them Picture Quote #1

I don’t have examples in my life of people who are all good or bad; I have deeply loved many people who are both, and I relate to those kinds of people on a far greater level Picture Quote #1

I really am profoundly grateful just in general in my life. I’ve had an embarrassing amount of good fortune Picture Quote #1

There’s a little good and bad in everyone. Everybody I’ve ever loved is very complicated Picture Quote #1

Obviously, it wasn’t meant for me to die of cancer at 40. Every day my life surprises me, just like my cancer diagnosis surprised me. But you roll with it. That’s our job as humans Picture Quote #1

We’re living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me, I just followed my parents around on their errands; when they were busy on the phone, I was quiet. It’s a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house, and you listen to their music, and you go to their appointments Picture Quote #1

My kids have never seen me scream at anybody. They’ve never seen an argument. There’s never been even a cold silence. And those are things that I grew up with because my parents did end up divorcing Picture Quote #1

Is it harder having kids and working? It definitely is, but the payoff is you get to go home to your kids, and it all balances out. And I know I’m a better mother when I’m engaged in something outside of the house Picture Quote #1

There is no question that sobriety has made me a better actor, made me a better person Picture Quote #1

I actually washed my window once, and it fell through - it was being held together by the dirt Picture Quote #1

In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration Picture Quote #1

The world gets very small after a while, if you stick around long enough Picture Quote #1

I love being able to take a nap in the afternoon Picture Quote #1

One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people Picture Quote #1

My actual personality probably lies someplace between the two Picture Quote #1

Coming home to my family afterward makes the work richer, easier and more fun Picture Quote #1

Mother elephants in the circus cannot help their babies, but we can Picture Quote #1
