Piper Perabo

“I was never the girl who walked down the centre of the hallway snapping people out of her way.”

“I don't know how you get dressed if you live in Wales, because it's pouring rain and then it's hot sunshine, and then it might hail. It's just so confusing.”

“What I'd really like to do is do a film or two a year and then do theater in New York the rest of the year.”

“I'm not lost, they just moved my street.”

“In Texas it's always hot, dry, sunny, not a cloud in the sky.”

“But Paulie gives all of herself away, and so to create a love like that and a person who would give themselves away was what I thought was going to be difficult. I was little scared of such a challenge.”

“It's like a blind turn on a highway: You can't see what's coming, so you don't really know how to prepare.”

“I live not too far from it in New York City.”

“She tries to get a waitressing job for a while - I mean, she's looking for a while before she finds Coyote Ugly - and it's hard to get a waitressing job in the city.”

“There are a lot of people who wait tables. And especially because you can do it at night and you can do your work in the day, she and I had a very similar experience.”

“Let me tell you who I am: I'm a girl from New Jersey who moved to New York and worked in a bar while trying to make a living at what I really wanted to do, which was act.”

“I really like to just jump in a truck with your backpack and just drive and go somewhere.”

“It takes a lot of guts to get up on top of a bar and dance.”

“I was bookish and dorky in high school, so the best part of this movie was getting to be on the other side.”

“That's what I think we're all looking for - an honest love wherever you can find it.”

“It was so much fun to play, that I've now had a taste for it and want to play more villains now.”

“I can understand in some sense, having played the character, how unimaginably frustrating it is for people to tell you that you can't love who you love, because you ain't going to change it, and so they have to get out of your way.”

“I got lost a lot, and I was a really bad waitress... I got lost on the subway.”

“I mean, its hard to be an actor in the city - trying to make it as an actor - because you waitress all night, you get home really late and you're super tired and your feet hurt.”

“I think that you love who you love, and there are people who you love that people aren't going to understand why, and that sort of doesn't really matter.”
