Elisabeth Shue's Quotes

  • On Cocktail (1988): "If I'd known that it was just going to be about these guys throwing drinks around, then I might have had some second thoughts . . ."
  • I may look like the girl next door, but you wouldn't want to live next door to me.
  • [on acting] The darker, more complex and emotional the part is, the easier it is for me. But I don't take any of that stuff home with me at the end of the day.
  • My childhood was male-dominated. It was great, but also very painful. Looking back after years of therapy, I realize that my wanting to act had nothing to do with making money and everything to do with needing attention and wanting to express myself and investigate my sexuality.
  • I was never put in jail. But, oh God, I smoked a lot of pot
