Tyne Daly Quotes

Everyone’s life is a train wreck. Your life happens to be a high-class train wreck Picture Quote #1

The art of acting is to pitch good. You do the pitching and hope that the other person catches the ball and does some good pitching back to you Picture Quote #1

The first time I was nominated for an award for professional acting, I was in my mid-twenties. I was married and the mother of my first two daughters. I had been working for near to 15 years Picture Quote #1

There was this wonderful trick of going to the theater with my parents and sitting in the audience under the watchful eye of an usher, and then these other people would come on the stage: They spoke differently and had different clothes and hair. Afterward, they would come back, and they were my parents again. It was magic Picture Quote #1

Before ‘Cagney and Lacey,’ we didn’t follow officers home to find out what they did when they took their badges off and emptied their guns. So the idea that these women also had lives outside of work was really interesting to play Picture Quote #1

My time on television began, and I started playing victims. I did about 10 or 12 years of them, which gets boring, right? Picture Quote #1

When you look at me you don’t immediately imagine a very very glamorous icon, so it’s only in the theater that I get to do these experiments. I’ve been an actor about 51 years now. I’ve played everything from an 8-year-old black boy to a 72-year-old French matriarch, and they hardly hire you to do that on TV Picture Quote #1

I am pretty sure that all young human beings have, at one time or another in their growing-up, been actors. They have used their imaginations to carry them away from painful or confusing situations... have imagined themselves to be more powerful or beautiful or brave or loving than they are Picture Quote #1

Women are usually only interesting to studio executives when they are fecund, between the ages of 15 and 30. I decided to get through the really tough patch, around 50, by just cutting my price and playing ten years older. I didn’t want to have to wait until I was an old lady to play one Picture Quote #1

The director’s job is full of all sorts of annoyances and details - like how many cars are on the street. Ugh. I don’t want it. I like my gig. And I feel that for the next 30 years or so I can keep learning more about it Picture Quote #1

I went into the family business. To me, it was the norm and not the exception Picture Quote #1

You know, my hair is very upsetting to people, but it’s upsetting on purpose. It is important to look old so that the young will not be afraid of dying. People don’t like old women. We don’t honor age in our society, and we certainly don’t honor it in Hollywood Picture Quote #1

Sweat makes good friendship cement Picture Quote #1

A critic never fights the battle; they just go around shooting the wounded Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in playing old ladies because I am becoming one. And I want to become a very good one! Picture Quote #1

Both my parents were actors. I was schooled to think that acting was an important social service, that it was something that human beings need Picture Quote #1

I think the 20s are a vastly overrated decade. We promise kids that once they get out of school, life will begin and their dreams will come true. But then comes the struggle Picture Quote #1

I am a greedy actor in the sense that I like the big bites. Put a big fat steak in front of me, and I will eat it Picture Quote #1

I don’t take part in texting and those other things myself, so I don’t really know if people put as much thought into messaging as they used to into writing letters Picture Quote #1

I was raised to be in service to something larger than myself. A lot of actors concentrate on what they will get out of the profession, rather than what they can offer it. The way I see it, if you come with something to offer, you can offer it forever Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a waist: I’m a breadbox on top of legs Picture Quote #1

Love is as strict as acting. If you want to love somebody, stand there and do it. If you don’t, don’t. There are no other choices Picture Quote #1

A critic is someone who never actually goes to the battle, yet who afterwards comes out shooting the wounded Picture Quote #1
