Christina Hendricks's Quotes

• I don't think any woman in the world could get tired of being compared to Marilyn Monroe.
• I know that when I play Joan and she's going to react a certain way, I have to remember that she can only behave this way because the men at work wouldn't want her to act this way, or it's only appropriate to act this way, or a lady would do this. It's become so natural to me to look at the scripts of Mad Men (2007) in that way that I immediately almost become a woman of the 60's in my mindset.
• I choose a project based on who's involved and my faith in them and the script and the rest you just let go.
• It's so bizarre that people are constantly asking if my breasts are real or fake. They're so obviously real that anyone who's ever touched a breast would know.
• [on her high school experiences in Fairfax, Virginia, where she and her parents had moved to from the small town of Twin Falls, Idaho, at the age of 13] I wore Birkenstocks and hippy dresses. I was surprised when I saw the other girls her age in Fairfax carrying purses [handbags]. I was like, 'Ooh, purses!' To me, only moms had purses. They were much more sophisticated and they were having sex and wearing makeup - all these things that had not happened for me. We had a locker bay, and every time I went down there to get books out of my locker people would sit on top and spit at me. So I had to have my locker moved because I couldn't go in there... I felt scared in high school. It was like Lord of the Flies. There was always some kid getting pummelled and people cheering. [She became a goth, dying her hair black and purple, shaving it at the back and wearing leather jackets and knee-high Doc Marten boots. Were her clothes a type of armour against what she was experiencing?] Yeah, exactly. My parents would say, 'You're just alienating everyone. You'll never make any friends looking like that.' And I would say, 'I don't want those people to be my friends. I'm never going to be friends with the people who beat up a kid while everyone is cheering them on. I hate them.'
