Holly Hunter

I've never worked as much as I would've wanted to, and that's why I end up doing a lot of stage as well, because stage is a full course meal.

I would love to work more - I really would - but there is not a lot of stuff around and the stuff that is around is not very complicated; it tends to lie a little flat.

I get cold really quickly, but I don't care. I like weather. I never understand why people move someplace so that they can avoid weather.

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

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

If every time you engage in a sex act, you go into a confession box, you will never accept your own sexuality.
