There have been periods of my career that I haven't worked for a really long time, like seven or eight months.

The sound of a golf game is very different than the sound of a football game.

It's always the girl comedy and the guy comedy. It bums me out. You'd think there'd be a progression, from James L. Brooks and Nora Ephron into more subtle humor and behavior and psychology.

From Parker Posey

I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.

From Parker Posey

From Parker Posey
