Famous Ellen Barkin Quotes

“I’m tenacious, I think – I know – and I do also have a quality where if you tell me I can’t do something, if I know I can’t do it I’m the first to raise my hand and say, “I can’t do that.” But there is a big Bronx, New York Jew in me that just says, “Really? Really? You think I – yes, I can. I can do it. I can do it.”

“I'm Method trained. How is this character like me? What does she think of her mother? What does her mother think of her?
