A biography for Parker Poseyhasn’t been written yet.
“I sang in 'Waiting for Guffman,' and I sang in 'A Mighty Wind.' I can carry a tune, but I don't like that Broadway singing.”
“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.”
“But it's fun to be something, have that, and you don't have to be real. It's like, comedians. They go on and they're doing all these jokes. I would be like that if I were more awake.”
“I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like.”
“There are so few movies that still cast on chemistry. Now it's often, like, this person's movies make this amount of money, and this person's movie makes that amount of money, so let's put them together.”
“I wouldn't say I was a queen. Maybe a little elf.”
“I'm a good girl, you know? But I'm from the South, and there are some powerful women down there, and very theatrical.”
“You know, it's a really adult thing, for some people, to choose to not be with the one that you love.”
“I have a twin brother, so I was around guys like a sister. It was comfortable to me.”
“When my parents were dating, they were very poor, so my dad couldn't take my mom out. They would go to the grocery store and pick out funny looking vegetables. When I grew up, we'd still go and find the ones with personality.”
“I wonder if people who see 'Blade' will have even seen my other movies. But I don't want all my movies to be in a vacuum. I need a balance because one pays, and the other doesn't.”
“I kind of grew up in the indie world, and now that sort of writing and material is on television.”
“I have a brass bed that's very 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks.' I got it on eBay. It's from the early 1900s.”
“You have to have a certain amount of limitations, I think, to make art and to make something that can be alive on film. Money can get in the way of that.”
“I would love to do something like 'Fishing With John.'”
“There are so few stories being produced that are human. I suffer with the loss of that. I feel kind of out of place, even though I've continued to work.”
“I like to support local record stores.”
“I like finding things in locations where I've worked and things from down South and things from flea markets or even the sidewalks.”
“I thought I'd have a career playing women in the vein of Ruth Gordon, and we've seen that type almost disappear.”
“Being an indie queen, people think I have all these choices. Like I've just been sitting around waiting for the best indie film that I deem acceptable.”
