I love 'Fishing With John' so much.
— Parker Posey
I have a twin brother, so I was around guys like a sister. It was comfortable to me.
There have been periods of my career that I haven't worked for a really long time, like seven or eight months.
People see images now more than they see movies.
It sounds so dramatic, but I'll say it: Hollywood just doesn't know what to do with me. And it's not for lack of trying.
I just want to balance myself holistically and see what different foods do what to me.
They're like a weird couple. If you were to personify the artichoke and the oyster, they would have a great date. They would totally get along.
Imagine if every airport would blast Brian Eno. I bet going through security wouldn't be as difficult. I can't imagine someone being aggressive with me with Brian Eno music pumping through the terminals at LAX.
I really like this trend of songwriting that is honest and intelligent and serious and longing.
As an artist, you're always going to be yearning and wanting and never satisfied. I never feel like I've really achieved something.
People have more dimensions to them than we give them credit for. The person you meet on the street that you think is someone, and it's someone else. I'm mistaken for someone else all the time.
I really liked playing a vampire. Their hunger is insatiable. Even when they eat someone, it's never enough.
Hey, the TV was my friend. As a child, I always said, 'I want to live in there someday.'
My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.
My dad recently reminded me that my grandfather's cousin was Lefty Frizzell.
I'm trying to work in studio movies, but they won't hire me.
I wouldn't say I was a queen. Maybe a little elf.
I would love to do something like 'Fishing With John.'
It's always the girl comedy and the guy comedy. It bums me out. You'd think there'd be a progression, from James L. Brooks and Nora Ephron into more subtle humor and behavior and psychology. All these interesting things people can learn about themselves by watching talented writers comment intelligently on someone else's emotional life.
How can we have our privacy? How can we have our independence now in these times with these cameras? Because I think privacy and our solitude is really important.
In case you don't know this, we're not in the '90s anymore. Indie cinema does not reign.
I had dreams of conehead aliens when I was little. Before 'Saturday Night Live' did it. And then they came out with them, and I went on to be a glorified extra in the movie. When everyone else was laughing, I was scared.
I got into the whole Ayurvedic thing. It was really cool.
I make a lot of soups, and I love stews. My mother's a big foodie. She went to culinary school in New Orleans and has an oyster-artichoke soup recipe that has no cream in it but it tastes so creamy.
I find myself listening to Talk Talk on repeat while I'm doing gardening in upstate New York. Their music is so languid, and I just love his voice.
The five patients in 'Rethinking Cancer' share with us the path of their recovery: the courage to take their own lives in their hands with a natural approach to healing their bodies.
There are so few stories being produced that are human. I suffer with the loss of that. I feel kind of out of place, even though I've continued to work.
I think to do a proper independent movie, in my experience, it takes 22 or 23 days to shoot. That was 'Party Girl' or 'House of Yes.' But now with the digital camera, the budgets have gotten smaller, and the days have gotten shorter.
I want to do horror and action, and I'm only being slightly facetious.
Every time I do something, I worry it's my last job.
I don't Twitter, although sometimes I think that I should.
I usually play character parts in Hollywood films.
Being an indie queen, people think I have all these choices. Like I've just been sitting around waiting for the best indie film that I deem acceptable.
But it's fun to be something, have that, and you don't have to be real. It's like, comedians. They go on and they're doing all these jokes. I would be like that if I were more awake.
You have to have a certain amount of limitations, I think, to make art and to make something that can be alive on film. Money can get in the way of that.
The sound of a golf game is very different than the sound of a football game.
You can get money and make a really cheap movie. You can, from independent financers who are just giving you money to support artists. This is what was happening in the '90s, and I was very fortunate to be a part of that.
It's not really cool to be singled out.
I was reading this book called 'Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind.' It's really, really good if you want to believe in that stuff.
I like trying different foods. I've done vegetarian stuff, and I've gone through meat phases, and then I do no bread, and then I eat bread. I'm really all over the place in the way a lot of actors are.
When my parents were dating, they were very poor, so my dad couldn't take my mom out. They would go to the grocery store and pick out funny looking vegetables. When I grew up, we'd still go and find the ones with personality.
I like to support local record stores.
I work with directors who haven't had the experience of being on sets as much as I have. I feel like, in a way, if it's an independent movie, I can teach the crew to kind of relax, or create a vibe. It really is about a vibe.
Acting is a really strange thing to do; it's very strange.
There are roles out there and women out there that are fascinating to me, and there are things in our culture that I see that I want to express. It's my passion to express that.
I wonder if people who see 'Blade' will have even seen my other movies. But I don't want all my movies to be in a vacuum. I need a balance because one pays, and the other doesn't.
There are so few movies that still cast on chemistry. Now it's often, like, this person's movies make this amount of money, and this person's movie makes that amount of money, so let's put them together.
I love bayou life.
My first lead role was probably 'Party Girl' in 1994.
I'm the character actor in Hollywood movies, the girl who has to be annoying so the guy can go to the other girl.
