Julianne Moore's Quotes

• You never have sex the way people do in the movies. You don't do it on the floor, you don't do it standing up, you don't always have all your clothes off, you don't happen to have on all the sexy lingerie. You know, if anybody ever ripped my clothes, I'd kill them.
• In grade school I was a complete geek. You know, there's always the kid who's too short, the one who wears glasses, the kid who's not athletic. Well, I was all three.
• [referring to her broken toe while at the GLAAD Media Awards, in regards to executives at Paramount Pictures who were putting together a TV show for Laura Schlessinger, a right-wing radio talk-show host who has angered the gay community with her sometimes rabidly negative comments about homosexuality] I wish I could say I broke this kicking down the door at Paramount, but I was running after my son.
• [what life was like for her as a child] I was a goody-goody. I was one of those kids who played by the rules. I used to have to take people to the principal's office. Isn't that awful?
• [on losing the 2000 Best Actress Oscar] Only five people got nominated in that category, and that's not very many people. So I did all right.
