Nora Dunn Quotations

I never thought I was funny, but I enjoy being funny

As an actor, you have to have your history.

The gun issue is a big, unresolved issue in this country right now. I think it's out of control

When I'm with my friends I'm funny, but I don't feel like I'm a funny clown

I prepared for the part by drinking, but I was sober when I was performing

Years ago I was a runway model, and I used to get laughs. I thought it was a joke anyway

I think gun manufacturers should start being afraid. You can't open an aspirin bottle if you're a kid, but you can fire a gun at someone.

We sat around that table in the jury room, and it really gave us a lot of rehearsal time. A lot of stuff that we shot was really rehearsal stuff.

It's funny when people ask if I'm a lesbian. I played a real estate agent in 'Father of the Bride, Part II,' but no one has asked me if I sell real estate.

John Cusack is a dream. I did one one-on-one scene with him and we got to shoot it so many times, and he did it different every time.

I think it's interesting that when you play a lesbian, people ask you if you're a lesbian, but if you play a serial killer, nobody asks you if you're a serial killer.

I love improvisation.

Milk Duds kept me going.

I think at the end of a show, you have to walk out with a message. That's my hardest struggle right now; that's what I'm working towards.
