“I come from the place of thinking, 'Whatever works for people' - and i...” — Rachael Harris Quote

“I come from the place of thinking, 'Whatever works for people' - and if you haven't been exposed to anything else, you really don't know better.”

“I told my agent which women I aspire to have a career like: Frances McDormand, Kate Winslet, Laura Linney and Emma Thompson - character actresses who have something to say. I also said that I loved Madeline Kahn and Jessica Lange.”

“I grew up in a suburb of Ohio, in a small town, and I resonated with that small-town feeling where everybody knows your business.”

“I love Frances McDormand so much. I love her career. And I think it's fun because she gets to do comedy as well as drama.”

“It's funny, because when I was in college, all my professors said, 'You should do comedy.' And I was like, 'No! No!' But I was able to get my foot in the door through comedy. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to do it.”

“See, that's the thing: I'm not one of those actors who thinks, 'God, I've got to improvise and make it my own.' No, my first job as an actor is to take what's written and make it work. And then, if they want me to improvise, I'll do that.”

“I'm a stand-up comic. Anything else I do besides that is a plus, but stand-up comedy is what I do, it's what I've been doing and it's what I'm going to keep doing.”

“I've learned, like with anything else, business is only as good as your connections and your resources. And some of the resources that I have are the fact that I work with huge artists.”

“Some people find that if they share a profession with their partner, they don't talk about anything else.”

“I was born in front of a camera and really don't know anything else.”

“Why can't a seven-foot guy play a doctor? Why can't I be a teacher? Why can't I be a football coach? Why can't I be a cab driver? Anything. Anything else than that. I can cry. I can do those things that they think the big guys can't do. So just give us a chance.”

“I mean, a Mexican boy couldn't be anything else but an Indian. And why did you take the name of Quinn, they used to say to me. Hey, you're an Indian, so I played Indians.”
