Went Quotes

In college, I went to school for acting; we had to learn phonetics just to be able to do dialects and all that stuff. I’m somebody who does better just hearing it. I’ll just imitate it, and I get it better that way. When I know too much information, I’m not great Picture Quote #1

I think in the old days, films really went for the shock, with the blood and guts, but movies are getting better. The writing and directing have improved a lot, because the audience demands it Picture Quote #1

I have breakups that I can credit to every song. In my twenties, I picked people who would create that dysfunction and drama, so I could draw upon it Picture Quote #1

My own grandmother went to great lengths to make sure I knew simple things like how and when to open the door for a lady. And the best thing my mama taught me was to pray Picture Quote #1

I distanced myself, relatively, from my parents for a year or so in my late twenties. It was necessary for me to feel my autonomy. Other than that brief gap, we have always been a very close family Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, I was teased for being too skinny. I went to summer camp when I was 11.

Because of that trauma, I never wore short pants or short skirts until I was 20 Picture Quote #1

I have experienced a murderer among my friends. Many, many years ago. At close range I have seen the impact of it. I knew the victim, I went to the funeral, I have been to the house, to the specific room where the killing took place, and I was stunned by it. It’s such a blow Picture Quote #1

In my early twenties, that’s when I really began to write. Before that, I was too busy working, keeping myself going Picture Quote #1

I actually wanted to become a model agent, and went into what ended up becoming my first agency for a job interview. They ended up suggesting I model instead. I guess I sort of fell into it Picture Quote #1

I like getting older. When you’re in your twenties you’re really forging for your future. Things take shape later on Picture Quote #1

I know what it’s like to be left out... I certainly went through a period of time where I got made fun of and people were so mean to me, so I can really relate to that Picture Quote #1

I deliberately went to boarding school. It was my choice. My mum was abroad and I wanted to wean myself off being dependent. It was a very important time for me to be able to create my own individual, independent life; just as a way of growing up Picture Quote #1

I went down to my baby’s house and I sit down on her steps. She said, now come on in now, you know, my husband just left Picture Quote #1

Before you went to work this morning in the city, did you spend some time with your family? Did you kiss your wife and tell her that she’s pretty? Picture Quote #1

I carried this problem around in my head basically the whole time.

I went to a lot of theatre schools, got a lot of training, did a lot of repertory where you do a different play every night. I took a lot of voice, movement, and acting classes Picture Quote #1

Before I go on stage, I knock three times. Three is my lucky number; I once went into an audition and was number 333 and got the best part ever Picture Quote #1

For me to want to be an actor was an improbable idea. I wasn’t beautiful or pretty in any conventional way. I wasn’t an ingenue at 22. But I was always certain of it and certain of its power. I felt the power when I went to the theater at 9, 10, 12 and 14 Picture Quote #1

I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn’t go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct Picture Quote #1

Personally, my twenties were a complete waste of time. Professionally, I hope some good came of them Picture Quote #1

I went through this phase where I thought pink and purple matched. To dance class, I’d wear purple tights and pink leg warmers and paint my shoes purple. It was really odd Picture Quote #1

For the longest time I was afraid I’d have to keep on working at the factories. There was a steel mill and a pottery; if you didn’t go to college, you went to work in those places Picture Quote #1
