The first time I was nominate...

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.

When you look at me you don't...

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.

Both my parents were actors. ...

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.

If you accept limitations then, yeah, you'll be limited. If you don't accept limitations then the horizon is pretty vast.

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.

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.

Everyone's life is a train wreck. Your life happens to be a high-class train wreck.

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.

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.

I don't have a waist: I'm a breadbox on top of legs.

A critic is someone who never actually goes to the battle, yet who afterwards comes out shooting the wounded.

I'm not glamorous, I don't have a look, I don't know anything about opera, I have no Italian, and I'm too old.

In sixth and seventh grade, my two best friends and I pretended to be horses. Every day after school, we would gallop around, whinnying and stamping our hooves and tossing our manes - for hours.

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.

Many more people saw me on TV than will ever get to see me on stage, but I do love being in the same room as the people I'm telling the story to.

When I got married, my marriage was illegal in 17 states because my husband had a different skin color than I did. And we saw those laws go down one at a time.

Tyne Daly 27 quotes

I was raised to be in service...

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.

I think mothers get a raw deal in American culture, so I've been defending them. I have three daughters, and I know that as they become mothers, they got a lot more gentle towards me!

Tyne Daly 27 quotes

What I like is the acting itself. But I'm a lousy celebrity. I'm not interested in selling my private life. I take my private feelings to the work, but I want there to be a difference between me and whoever it is I'm playing.

I believe imagination to be a uniquely human gift. The reason I like my job, and have liked it for more than half a century, is that I get to use my imagination.
