Margaret Denise Quigley Quotes

  • I like PETA as a group for many reasons, but one of the reasons that I admire them is that they say and do the things that other groups won’t do.
  • I enjoy privacy. I think it’s nice to have a little mystery. I think because of technology a lot of the mystery is gone in life, and I’d like to preserve some of that.
  • Audiences are so much more sophisticated than they’ve ever been. They expect a lot more. I don’t think because it’s an hour of your Thursday night rather than an hour and a half of your weekend that you should be gypped at all in quality.
  • I, Maggie, personally cannot tell you that you’re going to save the planet. But what I do know is that we can draw a line to an issue that can conserve what we already have and what’s left in a way that we can actually breathe the air, drink the water, actually grow things in soil – that matters in a real, practical way.
  • My manager’s biggest dream is for me to be on Letterman. She says, ‘Oh, Maggie, will you promise me you’ll be on ‘Letterman?’ What can I say? I just tell her I can’t promise, but I’ll try my best.
  • When you come to America, it’s a very serious thing. It’s not like you arrive and they say, “Hey, come on! Do movies!” I can’t just be hopping around. I have to focus and be still and make sure that I put the time and effort in. Because if I don’t, I could lose it like that.
  • I’m just totally into being strong. There’s something about wanting to get a jar or whatever out of a high cupboard, or moving a sofa over because my dog’s bone rolled under it, and not having to call anyone for help. There’s comfort in that.
  • Not only do I not want to be stereotyped as this Asian girl who fights gee, what a wonder – but also I have more to offer than that.
