Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio

I've worked with leading men so worried about losing their charm that they were always winking to the audience.

Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They're not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavoury.

I hate it when people say, Mary Elizabeth, this may be hell, but the movie is going to be sooo good.

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

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.
