Sometimes I go to movies, and...

Sometimes I go to movies, and it's just a bombardment, and I'm not entertained by them - I'm assaulted by them! And I know I sound like such a drama queen, but I find that really strange.

I'm a good girl, you know? But I'm from the South, and there are some powerful women down there, and very theatrical.

Louis C.K. was able to make it happen. His producers don't bug him. He's able to go into his cave and write exactly what he wants to write, and there are no decisions made by committee, and you have a singular voice, and everyone's like, 'Oh my God! We love this.'

Parker Posey 25 quotes

I think people probably think...

I think people probably think I self-start, but I don't... I'm an actor, and I like to be of use to the director. To be a muse.

With 'Dazed and Confused,' I got the high school experience I didn't get to have.

It hasn't really made it easier getting film work. It's not like I can call up a studio or a producer and say - insert haughty voice here - 'It's Parker. I guess you might know me as the indie queen. I'm wondering if you have any projects for me to be in.'

We shot 'Party Girl' on film, and I remember being told, 'We need to get this in two takes because we don't have a lot of film in the mag right now!'

I sang in 'Waiting for Guffman,' and I sang in 'A Mighty Wind.' I can carry a tune, but I don't like that Broadway singing.

I like finding things in locations where I've worked and things from down South and things from flea markets or even the sidewalks.

I kind of grew up in the indie world, and now that sort of writing and material is on television.

Parker Posey 25 quotes

Sometimes you're not in the b...

Sometimes you're not in the best environment. Sometimes you're not speaking the same language and it's not a good place to work. It's a lot to give, actually. And for not a lot of money.

Parker Posey 25 quotes

I wouldn't say I was a queen. Maybe a little elf

I think movies are now like going to a museum and seeing the latest exhibit - people just aren't going. It really is a dying art form. It feels frustrating.

Parker Posey 25 quotes

I was around New York at a ti...

I was around New York at a time when independent cinema was at its peak and became kind of popular and mainstream. It got some hype, culturally. After that, studios started to have independent companies within their studio system, and they found bigger stars willing to do new material. That's kind of what it's turned into.

Parker Posey 25 quotes

I don't want to sound like to...

I don't want to sound like too much of a drama queen! But I'm not going to tell you, 'Oh, it's just so much fun.' It's work [working on film].

I watch soap operas. I bake brownies. Normalcy is coursing through my veins.

I did do a presentation pilot with Jesse Eisenberg and he's wonderful. He's such a great writer. He directed me and he wrote these wonderful scripts and we're waiting to hear if marketers and advertisers think that an audience wants to look at a bad mom and her 10-year-old son in a show.

Parker Posey 25 quotes

I think Jesse Eisenberg is such a great writer. He was a great director and really tough.

Parker Posey 25 quotes

The studios insisted that only stars could make movies successful. And that was the real disappointment of the time. You'd see great writer-directors in the '90s becoming part of a system where financiers and movie stars could change the material. I came along just before all that happened.

An actor's career relies on a lot of luck. Being in the right place at the right time.
