Glenn Close quotes about
views law enforcement
I had a great time on The Shield. From working on it I have a totally different view of law enforcement.
character thinking evil-people
I have the belief that truly evil people, it's a genetic evil. I only have the experience of exploring the landscape of some of the characters I've played that people have labeled as evil; I don't think they're evil.
girl looks way
It is very difficult for girls. They're told to look one way, but to act another way.
voice path insight
Be aware of your inner voice and follow it, even though most of the time it will tell you the most uncomfortable path to choose.
character play doe
You have to love the characters you play, even if no one else does.
names worry important
It's gotten out of control. It's taking bigger and bigger names to make smaller and smaller films. I worry that important films without a big name attached won't get made at all.
blow actors firsts
I love the chemistry that can be created onstage between the actors and the audience. It's molecular even, the energies that can go back and forth. I started in theater and when I first went into movies I felt that my energy was going to blow out the camera.
stars thinking movie-star
I never got into this business thinking I'd be like a movie star.
leadership wisdom pain
Robin [Williams] was a world treasure. As we mourn his tragic death, we must remember him for the great waves of laughter that he was able to illicit from us, how his humor and insights - though they came from a place of pain and uncertainty - connected us and reminded us of how flawed and fragile...how human we are. How we are capable of moments of inspired transcendence and others of unspeakable despair.
actors vulnerable protect
We have to be vulnerable as actors, but we have to protect ourselves.
writing mind kind
And the writers are good in that it's easy to memorize, and good writing has an innate rhythm to it. And I've always felt that it's easier to get in your head than writing that has very kind of mind busting moments.
heart thinking voice
In a recent issue of Parade Magazine when asked for "Advice for a Younger You," Glenn Close responded: "I'd tell myself to listen to my heart. Listen to that little voice that says, 'Mmm, I don't think so.' Because when you override that, you basically override who you are.
positive thinking stronger
All your life you think 60 is ancient, and all of a sudden you find you're 60 and you don't really feel that different. I feel stronger and more engaged. This is the best time of my life.
thinking ipods house
I think there's something thrilling about going into a movie house and seeing everything on such a huge screen. I think we're in a culture now that is confronted with various sizes of screens, the biggest movie houses and then the smallest iPods.
