If, when I leave this earth, I'm remembered for 'Fargo,' so be it. But I think old Marge Gunderson is gonna get a run for her money with Olive Kittredge.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
At least three times a week, I'm approached by someone who says something about 'Fargo.'
Quote by -Frances McDormand
You can't make a rule about it. The minute you make a rule, it's like putting your wedding pictures in 'In Style' magazine - you're divorced.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I love flying by the seat of my pants, going at something instinctually.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I've never been someone who needs a lot of takes or enjoys a lot of takes. I like the fast thing of it.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
My feminist training was that this was your goal, to be a self-sufficient woman, but that is a miscalculation. It's just not the way we work. We work in dialogue with the community.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I tried taking a year off when Pedro was a toddler because I really wanted to be around, but it wasn't good for any of us.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
There is simply too much of my life that is involved in my work that I couldn't replicate in any other way.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
If you take it as a compliment that you don't look your age, then you're really shooting yourself in the foot.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I've got a rubber face. It has always served me very well and really helps, especially as I get older, because I still have all my road map intact, and I can use it at will.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I've given just as much of my life to that, and I practiced it with the same zeal, as I have acting. And I think that many of my skill sets from being a housewife I used for producing. Because you don't stop until it's done.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
My father was a minister, and it was more my mother that had the responsibility of making sure the family put out an outward of appearance of living what he was preaching. She was the PR.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
My son smelled like a cinnamon bun, and that smell entered into my biological being, and it became an imperative that I keep him alive at all costs, so then there's this monster - this tiger or lion - that comes forward in you to protect them. And it doesn't stop. It doesn't matter if they become men or women.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
We wrote 'Olive Kitteridge' as six hours, and they asked us to make it in four.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I've always known that I'll have a career for the rest of my life because they'll always make movies about men, and men need women in their lives. But, when it comes to telling a woman's story, they're complex, circular, and not genre-driven.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I learned how to read in second grade, and I entered a summer contest at my local library in Chattanooga, Tennessee. If you read more books than anybody else, you got your Polaroid up on the bulletin board, and I did.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I'm not really interested in promoting 'Olive' as a series about depression or mental illness.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
The last scene in 'Moonlight,' that's one of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen on film in my lifetime. You see two men showing such tenderness towards each other. And it's bold; it's deep. It's complex. It's profound.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
It could be partly my taste. It's just my belief that there are female characters that will benefit from not being vulnerable.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I think that cosmetic enhancements in my profession are just an occupational hazard. But I think, more culturally, I'm interested in starting the conversation about aging gracefully and how, instead of making it a cultural problem, we make it individuals' problems.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I think that ageism is a cultural illness; it's not a personal illness.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
In comparison to other women in the world, perhaps I'm seen as smaller. But I've never had a problem thinking of myself as a large woman.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
Female characters in literature are full. They're messy: they've got runny noses and burp and belch. Unfortunately, in film, female characters don't often have that kind of richness.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
It was really fascinating for everyone involved in 'Fargo' that Marge Gunderson became the iconic character she did. I think it was something about the cultural zeitgeist and what was happening with women in the workplace.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
Here's what I have at my advantage: I've never been a personality. I've always been a character actor.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
Even though I'm an actor, I've gone to productions where there has been someone whose work is known in film, and you can't take your eyes off them. It unbalances the production. Whether they're good or not, it doesn't matter.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
It's like some weird excuse for high school kids to vomit. It's not good. It's stupid. I'm sure that's not what St. Patrick's Day is supposed to be about, but who knows.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
I portray female characters, so I have the opportunity to change the way people look at them. Even if I wasn't consciously doing that, it would happen anyway just because of how I present as a woman, or as a person. I present in a way that's not stereotypical, even if I'm playing a stereotypical role.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
My politics are private, but many of my feminist politics cross over into my professional life.
Quote by -Frances McDormand
Unfortunately, any girl - unless you're playing the action hero - is going to end up at some point handcuffed, gagged, and waiting for the hero to save her.
