Gina Gershon

I think smart is sexy. I like smart people. People that are comfortable with themselves I think is very sexy. My cat is really sexy.

Actresses are nightmares. I don't hang out with any of them. That's a problem with my profession. I try not to be like an actress.

People seem to get weirdly obsessed with my mouth.

I wanted to be a teacher, but I was a lousy student, one of the slowest readers. It was a tremendous struggle. But I'm lucky I had some teachers who saw something in me.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
