Gretchen Mol

“I feel like I'm a character actress, and I'm a leading lady.”

“I just want to keep working. I just want to keep doing my best.”

“I'm not a big fan of the gym. In fact, I hate it. I've been known to break out in a sweat merely walking by one.”

“I think there's a lot of power in putting it out there.”

“I always had a sense that I was going to be an actress. It's my thing. It's what I do.”

“I'm always surprised when people say, 'You've been in a lot of things.' I guess I have, but I don't feel like I have.”

“I think every actor wants to be a character actor.”

“I'm not the kind of person who's going to look at the top of the mountain and say, 'I'm going to get there.' I'm the kind of person who's going to say, 'I'm going to take the next step.'”

“You just have to be open to what comes.”

“I've always been interested in the past. It's where all the stories are.”

“For me, the most important thing is the story.”

“I think it's important to be a little bit of a chameleon.”

“I love the theater. It's my first love.”

“I'm not a person who plans. I'm a person who reacts.”
