- Nov 07, 2020
I think there's a danger in how we can get addicted to the things that reaffirm to us who we are. For example, Facebook; people who make these Facebook posts about what's happening to them, just so people will chime in and give them positive reinforcement.

- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have this idea of myself as this quiet, observant, thoughtful child, which my parents roundly contradict. They claim that I was loud and bossy and dancing all the time.
- Knowing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't grow up knowing actors' names, and my parents weren't theater people.

- Loved
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The 'Fargo' characters, they're the characters of my people. They're stoic, hardworking, uncomplaining, and I loved them.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Inevitably, when directors work with me on a set, they say, 'This isn't what I was expecting. I thought you were going to be very serious.' But I like to stay loose and have a good time and not take myself too seriously. I think, otherwise, you get in your own way.

Everyone thinks I'm on 'Mindhunter!'
- Five

- Alone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't expect to pursue acting at all, let alone TV and film, let alone New York or L.A. I was quite content doing Shakespeare out in Wisconsin.
- Crazy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My family was always wondering why I ended up playing people who were mentally ill, insane, downtrodden, and a little crazy. I think what they don't understand is that most female parts are written basically as hysterical women.
- Ale
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We haven't evolved a hero story that's female. We're always trying to fit women's stories into this male structure, which is this rising action, this powerful conflict, and this falling action. And I think a female hero story is not that. It's something else.
- Church
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always liked church. I was one of those kids who was desperate for the statue of Mary to talk to me, which is a very egotistical approach to your faith. I just wanted somebody to pay attention to me.
- Crazy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My family has never understood why I play crazy, angry, depressed people because that is not the way they think of me. They see me as a totally messy, klutzy goofball - kind of weird and hyper.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I rely on poetry or literature to keep me centered before I go onstage because it reminds me to be present.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My parents are just really down-to-earth, earnest, hardworking people that don't want for anything. I think that really served me because when you put more value on experience than things, then you're going to go out and have experiences.
- Nominee
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was an Emmy nominee and an Emmy snub.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I rarely get recognized, and whenever I do, it has to do with 'The Leftovers' because it came into someone's life at a particularly important time for them - if they were dealing with grief or loss or whatever tragedy - and they just caught it. And there is no rhyme or reason to the kind of person it is.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Part of being an actor is the rhythm of the life of being an actor, and that involves coming together with a group of people, making something together that is intense and requires a lot of intimacy, and then walking away from it with the possibility that you will never see any of those people again.
- Nov 07, 2020
When you have good writing, the rhythm of the scene is very apparent. What the scene demands is very clear.
- Harder
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's much harder to act poorly written material. It's much harder to memorize poorly written material.
- Long Time
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As actors, we have to say yes to everything for a really long time. You say 'Yes' to anything you can get.
- Enough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Inevitably, when a scene isn't working for me, it's because I'm being self-conscious, and I'm not putting enough of my focus on my fellow actor.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We don't have control over many things. We're always grasping for it, but in reality, we don't have a lot of control.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's a lot of ambiguity in life, and so often, our art is very neatly wrapped up at the end, when our lives never feel that way.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never felt terribly attached to acting because I always feel like the world is really big and really interesting, and there are a lot of places that I can put my energy and be fulfilled.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think women have long been defined by their roles as procreators and wives, and we're expected to serve, take care of, say 'Yes,' and not ruffle any feathers. Women, in particular, are sometimes not allowed to consider who they are outside of the roles that they play.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The women I know are smart, interesting people who aren't just there to service the men's stories, so I don't know why our art continues to do that.
- Smart
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Being a literature major, you know, I'm very familiar with the ways symbolism is used in our sort of mythic tales of society, so anyone who is consciously trying to pull that off I think is really interesting and clearly very smart.
- Jealous
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been seeing a lot of theatre in New York, and I am sort of terribly jealous of everyone on stage but also really appreciating it in a way that you can't when you're in the middle of it.
