A biography for Leslie Hopehasn’t been written yet.
“At the age of 16, I decided to rebel and become an actress. I wasn't happy with rules and regulations.”
“When I got off '24,' pretty soon after that I did a movie that took place in the '70s, this movie with Jimmy Caan and Gena Rowlands, and I needed to kind of have that '70s pouffy housewife hair.”
“I ate ants. They weren't that bad.”
“I was in a university prep school in Canada, and the way that particular place worked was, you chose at a very young age what you were going to do with the rest of your life. Mine was law.”
“I was very aware that my path into the industry would probably be as an actress and not in production, that I could learn a lot that way. And I did.”
“There are really only two things I'm terrified of: water and cockroaches.”
“Everything I know about the FBI came from movies! Right? The idea of these kind of uptight, conservative guys whose ties are tied too tight.”
“I don't know so much about making it, because I think of myself as a working actor who's always got my eye on what's going to be the next job. I've been acting for 22 years, and I think there's something to be said for simply staying in the game.”
