I wasn't allowed to watch regular television when I was growing up, only PBS, so I watched 'Masterpiece Theatre' and a lot of Jane Austen. I loved stories where the girl is attracted to a man and it looks like it's not going to work out.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I don't think my career would be as good if I were a serious actress. Comedy is less age-conscious.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I love that topic, the whole relationship thing, and I think that's why I love all this stuff, the Jane Austen stuff.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
If things don't work out with one person, there's many other people to replace you with online.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
Hugh Grant has that magic in real life, so when he's saying these lines, 'It's always been you,' it's just devastating.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I think I get credit for my timing because most of the time, I really have no idea where I'm going with it.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
When people slave over those scripts and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for them, they don't usually want you to add farts.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I kind of waited for opportunities to be handed to me. I think I was lazy, and when things didn't go right, I just said, 'Oh well.'
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I'm so lucky I got a career in my 30s because these young girls aren't allowed to have their 20s. It's all being documented.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I do have to say, there is this incredible benefit to being older. I never thought I'd say that. I've figured out that show business isn't the end-all. I thought I'd never be tired of Hollywood, of the experience, and I have to say there's some relief. As you get older, your taste changes.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
Werner Herzog, when I auditioned for 'Bad Lieutenant,' he had never seen any of my films. He thought I was this actress living in New Orleans and it was my first job.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
Cate Blanchett and others, they get this broad range of all these cool people they can play. Some women really do get it all. For me, it is the same thing that happens over and over. I should change that and maybe write my own thing.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I do shows, stage shows all the time, and I'm so afraid that people are going to recognize themselves, and they never do. They never do. They're always like, 'Oh, that woman was ridiculous,' and yeah, they're talking about themselves.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I always get excited when I find out there's a sequel, because all the work is kind of done.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I always feel in movies, I don't know if it's because I'm jaded, but I always feel like we don't go far enough.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
When you're on this major English estate, breathing in the English air, and it's untouched, you can feel its presence. It's a whole different feel. It really felt like we were there living it. It didn't feel modern, ever.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
Our secret desire as women is to have a guy who falls madly in love with us even though we're incredibly opinionated or we're not the sort of normal, polite, poised woman.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I was thinking, 'If I go bald, I might do something like Bret Michaels and have it all attached to a handkerchief.'
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
It's really hard for me to meet someone. I don't want to date actors. Been there, done that. Only one actor per household, please.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I'm so vain, all I could think was I should have stopped at 'American Pie.'
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
It seems almost impossible to me that the whole world doesn't know CPR.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I don't know what I am. I guess you can call me a character actor in the sense that I'll never be an ingenue. You know, that's over. My shot was missed. I take a normal person and make them more of a character. I don't know what that would be called.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I always like to get a role where I think, 'Ah, I know this is probably going to be played like this, but I'm going to do it like this.'
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
To be honest, sometimes I'm horrified because you don't really know what you look like. If I really knew what I was doing on-screen, I would try to stop doing it.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I figured New York was the closest I'd get here in America to Scotland.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I was the cocktail waitress, and Sandra Bullock was the host, and this guy came in and persuaded me to try improv with Gotham City Improv.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
Some people are really nice about it. I get Saudi princes and famous people stopping me in L.A. and saying, 'You're Stifler's mom. Can I take a picture with you?' But then you get people like her putting their camera in your face without asking. They think they can do whatever they like.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
The odd things that people say to you are so much more hilarious than what you can come up with.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
All the guys that entered The Groundlings, like Will Ferrell, already had incredible confidence, but I watched shut down women that didn't even have a personality completely become different human beings because of the training.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I've played a lot of weird women. I play crazy ladies, and I've played a lot of insane women and weird best friends that are not sexually desirable.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
If I wasn't an actress and I wasn't Stifler's mom, my life would be so dull.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
I've been many people. I've been the skinny girl. I've been the fat girl. Because I've become a character actress, I sort of fell victim to 'Well, I don't have to look good anymore.'
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
The British boys really, really go nuts... to them, an older woman is sexy, and it's an incredible fantasy... I think the American fantasy is still about men wanting control. Maybe American men don't feel as in control of their lives.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
When I go on 'The View,' or any of those talk shows, you really don't get to say what you want to say.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
Stand-up is a weird animal. There are people who really want to know what you think about things, your opinion on life. But then there are people who think you're just that beautician in 'Legally Blonde,' who doesn't have opinions on anything. Or that I'm Stifler's mom and hot for it all the time.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
There's something about me that suggests I don't have an intelligent atom in me at all. So people say things to me that they wouldn't say to other people. Insulting, condescending things. They don't think I notice. But, of course, I'm taking it all in.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
Unless you write your own movies... you can't really say what you want to say.
Quote by -Jennifer Coolidge
The best thing about animated-feature people is that they are very laid-back people. You feel like you're showing up for a backyard barbecue.
