I did Alan Ball's 'Five Women Wearing the Same Dress,' and then he put me in 'American Beauty.' Everything started to happen from all the years I put into the theater in New York City, and working, and having great parents who supported me through that.

I know what it feels like to love and care about things, but I've never had that instinct to have kids.

I'm so hard on myself and a really harsh critic of my work.

I've always been a figure skater and ballet dancer. I love physical comedy, and any chance that I get to do that... that is so me.

Growing up, everybody told me...

Growing up, everybody told me I was good. I was playing ping-pong with my father, and he'd say, 'That's a good shot,' but I'd mess up the next one, and I'd yell, 'Don't tell me that! I'll mess up! Just don't say anything!' You know, if someone says, 'You can't do that,' then I'm going to be, 'Yeah, you watch me.'

I spent a lot of time in the trenches in New York doing a lot of off-off-off Broadway theater.

I grew up with brothers. I love men. Of course it's hard to be a woman in a man's world.

Being a figure skater myself and knowing what it took for my parents to get up at five in the morning to drive me to the rink before school and then drive me to practice after school - it's a huge commitment for any family.

I'm kind of at the mercy of writers out there. I need a writer out there who wants to write a vehicle for me. Do it and get it to me immediately. I do want to be a lead. I want to play a lead role in a movie.

It's a little weird accepting your voice coming out of an animated character. You don't buy it at first because it's your voice and none of us like our voices when we hear them recorded back.

Comedy is a serious business....

Comedy is a serious business. It's frustrating when I can't find the right thing that makes the crew laugh. If I don't make them laugh, I get very disappointed in myself. You don't really have a live audience, so you just depend on the crew to let you know if you're doing something funny.

One of the things I love about acting is other actors, looking into their eyes, and working off them, and listening and responding to them.

I love wasting time and learning to lip-sync to songs; it's a silly hobby of mine.

Allison Janney 54 quotes

I think one of my big skills is making unlikable characters likable or real in some way. No matter how hateful people are, there's always something vulnerable about them, or something that you can understand or relate to. I think that's my job as an actress - to find those.

Allison Janney 54 quotes

I never stop. I don't want to stop acting because I'm afraid it'll all end, so I never say no.

It's a challenge for me to make people like me. Maybe it's just my desperate need for people to like me, that I choose the characters I have to play. You will like me, I don't care what I've done, you're going to like me.
