Jennifer Sue Beals Quotes

  • [on who inspires her] My role models are Bettie Page and Mia Kirshner (co-star on The L Word (2004)). Every day when Mia comes to work she raises the bar for us all.
  • I’m always shocked that gay marriage is such a big deal. You have to realize how precious human life is when there are tsunamis and mudslides when there are armies and terrorists – at any moment, you could be gone, and potentially in the most brutal fashion. And then you have to realize that love is truly one of the most extraordinary things you can experience in your life. To begrudge someone else their love of another person because of gender seems to be absolutely absurd. It’s based on fear, fear of the other, fear of what is not like you. But when you can see lives on a day-to-day basis, rather than reducing it to politics, then it humanizes a whole community of otherwise invisible people.
  • It’s been perfect. I can still ride a subway and work with great people. I can’t imagine being Julia Roberts. I don’t have the fortitude to withstand that kind of attention.
