“I feel that movies are gifts that come to you, and there are no accidents in what you end up doing.” Quote by Laura Dern
“I study Carl Jung, who talks a lot about the shadow side, the repressed side. I think the scariest thing in the world is repression. There's plenty to be idealistic about, but we have to be aware of all sides of ourselves, and there are definitely shadows in all of us.” ThinkingWorldStudyShadowPlenty Author:Laura Dern
“Whether a movie part comes to me or I seek it out, there's always this journey to darkness through light, or vice versa; that element has been in almost everything I've done.” DoneDarknessJourney Author:Laura Dern
“In Smooth Talk it was a much more intuitive search - I was only 17 at the time, and I wasn't aware, as women are when they get a little older, that there's always a side of a woman that likes a man from the other side of the tracks. We all have an attraction to what's different from us.” MenDifferentTrackAttractionSmooth Author:Laura Dern
“When I became secretary of state, I felt one of my primary jobs was building relationships around the world. And I did spend a lot of time and effort thinking through, How do I connect with this person?..” ThinkingWorldEffortBuildingSecretary Author:Hillary Clinton
“I have generally not responded to sexism if it's about me. And I have responded if it's about somebody else, because if women in general are being degraded, are being dismissed, then I can respond in a way that demonstrates I'm not taking it personally but I'm really serious about rejecting that kind of behavior.” KindSeriousBehaviorSexism Author:Hillary Clinton
“Responding to sexism you have to not just remain silent but try to figure out a proper response - again, though, not going to the place of anger and feeling sorry for yourself, because that kind of plays into the hands of the sexists.... It does take practice though.” TryingKindFeelingsSilentResponseSorrySexismFeeling SorryFeeling Sorry For Yourself Author:Hillary Clinton
“I think if you were to talk to women who have run, both successfully and unsuccessfully, nearly all of them would say, "You learn so much." You learn about yourself, what you're capable of doing.... And it doesn't have to all happen when you're young - I mean, one of the most powerful women in American politics is Nancy Pelosi. She had five children. She didn't go into politics until her youngest child was in high school.... That's one of the great things about being a woman in today's world: You have a much longer potential work life than our mothers or our grandmothers did.” ThinkingWorldMeanChildrenRunningSchoolMotherPowerfulCapableHigh SchoolGreat ThingsGrandmotherMost PowerfulAbout YourselfPowerful Women Author:Hillary Clinton
“I think it's interesting that there's always a dark cloud hanging over my character, in every movie. Even in Fat Man and Little Boy, where it's a real dark cloud. In Mask, it's more the judgment of others, but it's still a threat.” ThinkingMenRealCharacterDarkInterestingBoysJudgmentThreatMaskLittle Boys Author:Laura Dern
“I'm very connected to my own family, and maybe I like to explore the feelings that come up in families. I'm fortunate that my parents taught me to look further into why I might feel a certain way; it was normal to expose things.” FeelingsParent Author:Laura Dern
“When I started dating I had relationships with people who came from families that weren't at all artistic or whatever, and they didn't understand how to communicate. I find that so boring.” PeopleDatingCommunicateBoringArtisticSo Boring Author:Laura Dern
