Elizabeth Téa Pantaleoni Quotes

  • Yes, I guess I am bi-coastal.
  • I just mean it’s very difficult for me to watch my work, in some ways, because I am critical of what I didn’t get across or I thought I was making one point.
  • Well, I don’t find glamour and clothing relevant.
  • I was desperate to go back to New York and when 9/11 happened, I feared moving to the bulls-eye and that was very hard because I have a lot of family there and I really had to question what I didn’t like about this community.
  • Really it was the first time in my life that I recognized that acting is, I’m just going to say it, I am an artist, I have to do this, I have to do this.
  • Well what I will tell you is for this movie, I got into probably the best shape of my life.
  • I’m not quite ready for a no makeup movie.
  • But I’ve never looked at myself as being particularly funny.
  • I dress up for awards, but only if somebody else is going to pay for the clothes. And shop for them, too!
  • I’ve been in a gym probably nine days of my life.
  • But I can tell you that the New York that I see now is not the New York that we grew up in. It’s not 1973.
  • I don’t think, there’s no possible way for me, anyway, to play a character that I haven’t found some sort of sublime compassion for and I related to Deborah on a way that almost, initially, almost in a way maybe someone in the audience might.
  • And I thought, you know, I have to say that maybe the whacked out mother is my new favorite role, but I don’t want to just do it and become Nurse Ratchett.
  • Jim Brooks is a very powerful director and it was a lot of intense work.
  • Acting doesn’t feel good. It’s not comfortable to feel all this stuff, it’s not.
  • People don’t know this, but early in your career, you don’t just glide on to The Tonight Show.
  • The one thing I think you must do is, as painful as it is as a parent, is listen.
  • It’s kind of fun to be sexy.
  • Sometimes, I feel that Manhattan in particular has gotten really tame and gentrified or something.
  • Well, I think again, the worst part of it was just leading up to it, before we got on set, at least for me… dreading this idea that I was just going to suck and I really had strong feelings about that. I just didn’t want to be that weak link.
  • I’m not a huge fan of my work.
  • I have always loathed working out.
  • At one point, I had 14 pairs of golf shoes.
  • I was one of the most brilliant liars as a child.
  • First of all, returning from motherhood, I was looking for something lighter, and I wasn’t as much attracted to Kate as I was to the relationship between the two people.
  • Shopping turns me off.
  • I live by a hill. I began walking it and then I began jogging it and then I began sprinting it.
  • I don’t mean to be presumptuous that men don’t feel this, I don’t mean this, but I found that when my child was born, my first child, it felt like my heart broke.
  • If I swim in the ocean, I have a shark thought. Not a bad one, but just a little one.
  • It was just this interesting, my first, the first time you hear your child in any way criticize you. It’s the worst review of your life and it’s really relieving to find out that they don’t know what they’re saying.
  • I am not addicted to, attracted to, or neurotically pursuing stardom.
  • Hollywood means work and getting yourself out there, and for a while I pooh-poohed that idea. My ego still doesn’t get stroked by fame. But I’ve been guided by people who have told me if you aren’t out there, then studios and producers are less likely to pull you in to the projects you might want to do.
  • I think getting over opening night, his first opening night of his life, was a huge milestone. And he did it with such grace and flying colors. I’m very proud of him. (about husband David Duchovny’s off-Broadway debut).
  • We have this incredible cast with Billy Bob Thornton, who is maybe my new favorite person in the world.
  • “I love tennis. I love very aggressive tennis, and I think I’m quite good. Golf, well, of course you can drink beer when you play that, but I take it pretty seriously, and I’m quite good at that. And I’m a good swimmer, and I used to compete in windsurfing” (on the challenge of playing an athlete in Spanglish (2004)).
  • “Not to sound like a whore, but I’ve been with…I’ve worked with…some very attractive men. Nicolas Cage…Al Pacino…Ben Stiller…and Woody Allen”.
  • David. The best thing about marriage is David’s sense of humor. (When asked what is the best thing about marriage to David Duchovny).
