Molly Parker

“Acting is a strange profession. It's very insecure.”

“I'm interested in the things that are not said, the space between things.”

“I feel like I'm a character actress, and that's what I want to be. I don't want to be a star.”

“I'm always looking for a good story. That's the most important thing.”

“I don't think I'm particularly beautiful. I think I'm a character actor.”

“The work is the thing. It's the only thing that matters.”

“For me, the process is always about finding the truth of the character.”

“I've always been drawn to messy, complicated women.”

“I'm not interested in playing the girlfriend. I'm interested in playing the woman.”

“I think the best roles are the ones that are a little bit dangerous.”

“I have a lot of empathy for women who are in a place where they're not heard.”

“I think it's important to be able to play people who are not like you.”

“It's always a challenge to find work that is meaningful.”

“I'm drawn to stories about women who are on the margins of society.”
