“I never liked the bar scene. I tried to like it. I would give it a try...” — Joan Allen Quote

“I never liked the bar scene. I tried to like it. I would give it a try every three or four months. I'd think, tonight I'm going out. But I never met anybody in that circumstance.”

“I think of myself more as a character actor than that ingenue leading lady, who started out something like Michelle Pfeiffer, or Jessica Lange. I'm a bit quirkier than that.”

“I think I knew acting was what I wanted to do. But I was from this small town and there was no place for an adult to recognise it.”

“San Francisco is one of the worst-dressed cities in the world, bar none.”

“If you're still in a bar when the lights go on, you are a loser.”

“I'm the type of person who doesn't want to sit alone in a restaurant or bar.”
