Maria Menounos Quotes
- The odd thing is, I don’t consider what I do work, because it’s what I love. But it is also an enormous amount of pressure, and you have to work an enormous amount of hours.
- We had four different sets and built 38 flats to use as walls, so we had a major production going on. It’s so much fun when you’re controlling it, but it’s also so much pressure.
- You have to take control of your own career.
- I know that producing will ultimately mean more longevity in the business, so when I’m tired of everything else and want to be behind the cameras, I know that I can produce.
- I’m really excited, because the character, Jules, is a really awesome character. I’m really excited to be playing her, and overall, I’m really excited to be getting back to my acting roots.
- If you take the more general role of going to local stations around the country in Montana or South Carolina or wherever, and start in the local news, it’s a lot more difficult to get to the stories that you want to really cover.
- So most of my acting experience came in college when I was living away from them. I acted in various independent films, and I got some commercial work and stuff like that.
- So for me, anything that has to do with animals, and I’m a happy camper.
- So now, cut to ten years later, and I’m making this amazing contract with Pantene. It’s incredible.
- That’s why charity work is very selfish at the same time, because it makes you feel good.
- The designer of my Emmy gown is donating my gown to the charity for an auction.
- Tim Story is a fantastic director, and I’m so excited to get to work with him.
- I love comic book movies, and Marvel Comics obviously are the best.
- I saw Red Eye, and I love being scared and on the edge of my seat.
- I think Channel One was very integral in my career.
- I think people think we’re all sipping martinis by the pool.
- Integrity is integrity. I don’t push it to the side because I’m talking to Julia Roberts.
- One of the first things I did was interview the President of the United States. Some people work their whole lives and can’t interview someone of that stature.
- There’s something about taking a film from concept to script, through production, and then to see the final thing happening in the edit phase. It’s almost like a miracle in the making.
- A lot of people didn’t realize that I acted before I did anything else.
- Back in the day after I won my first pageant there was an agency that was getting me work on the side.
- I am honored to be a Bond girl and be a part of the Bond legacy, To star in a video game with Connery, the original Bond, is incredible.
