Minnie Driver

“The Masonic aspect of Hollywood is so bizarre.”

“I've been a musician longer than I've been an actor.”

“I don't know why my parents split up. I guess they just drifted apart, but I do know they stayed very good friends.”

“I'm not a nutcase. I know that.”

“People go 'You look a lot like Minnie Driver.' Once I said, 'Thanks, Minnie is a great actress.' But, it blew up in my face. This person said, 'Nah, didn't like the last movie she did.'”

“I live a generally quiet life, as it were.”

“In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part, but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater, it's a more concentrated and quiet experience.”

“I'm never going to be comfortable being squished into a box, and that's why it's been weird in Hollywood, they don't know what to do with me, because I can play the game up to a point, but then I can't at all.”

“If I could afford to live in London I would.”

“People seem to like this image of me being all boho and hippy. It's either that or I'm down on my luck, I've got no money, the work's dried up.”

“I'd really like to do a biopic of a musician.”

“Anyone who has that weird volition to become an actor probably has a weird volition to do lots of other creative things - to write, to play music, to paint, to cook.”

“You can never be guaranteed good roles because of an award, but I think your profile and net worth as a performer has to do with awards, unfortunately.”

“I was equally in love with singing and acting from an early age.”

“I don't really put my name to anything that I don't love and believe in, because there's no point.”

“I'm proud of my life.”

“I must know good yoga classes in about 25 cities on this planet.”

“In England, with all due respect, we have some of the plainest actresses in the entire world as our greatest.”

“Singing is my dream and, while it may have not been a commercial success, critically I was thrilled with the reception my first album got.”

“Security has come from being successful.”
