When one thing ends, you put it away and start from scratch on the next thing.

I'm happy whenever I'm in a rehearsal room. I've always gotten all my energy and creativity in there.

I've loved every minute of every hour I've spent doing theatre.

I like to play a wide range of characters. The more they're unlike me, the better I like it.

I almost never give interviews. It's not because I want to play hard to get. It's just that I never seem to have anything interesting to say.

From Laurie Metcalf

I was an office secretary for a long time. A good secretary.

From Laurie Metcalf

Theater opened up a whole new world for me. It was a freedom I'd never known before.

From Laurie Metcalf

When I go to see something I'm in, or my friends are in, it's like a home movie. When I just go to the movies and don't know anyone in it, then it's a real movie.

From Laurie Metcalf

I was horribly shy all through grade school and high school. But somehow I got up the nerve to audition for one play in high school - 'Auntie Mame.' I got a small part as the fiancee who comes on in the end. I got laughs. I wasn't shy at all doing the part. I can do anything on stage and write it off as a character.

From Laurie Metcalf

I was too practical to major in theater. Acting - what was I going to do with acting? There was no future in it.
