Holland Taylor Quotations

I love playing someone who just skates by and does anything she wants.

I notice that most of the men who tease me about my hair, don't have any.

I've had a long life and a lot of relationships and not one of them do I wish - well, I take that back - there are a couple I could have done without.

I've had some marvelous parts, but I'm also asked to play characters who are kind of superficial people.

I always did think I would be married and settled down by now but maybe I ain't ready.

I've always had a hunger for realizing myself through my career.

I've often played very strong, flashy, kind of inadvertently mean women. I am not that way in my real life.

It took a long time to get to the place in my career where I could pick and choose what I wanted to do.

It's interesting, I had absolutely no maternal instinct. I'm much more interested in young people now.

I've never written a play before, and I'll never write one again. You can quote me.

I've had a long life and a lot of relationships and not one of them do I wish -- well, I take that back -- there are a couple I could have done without,

Do the thing itself. Don’t pay much mind to critics or what anyone says about it. Just do it, in any form possible, and watch others doing it. Take it in viscerally, get it by osmosis. Don’t ever read your own reviews, certainly not the good ones.

I just never was the marrying kind.
