QUOTES OF DANA DELANY
" I like people who are still actively creating in their life, who aren't set, I don't feel like I'm set. And I don't have any baggage, for better or worse. I don't have any plants or pets or kids. I can lock the door and go. I need to be with somebody for whom that's okay.
" If you put Willem Dafoe, Liam Neeson and James Woods in a room together, there wouldn't be room for anyone else.
" I think I would make a good spy. I can sort of be a chameleon. People don't notice me very easily. I never get recognized.

Everybody poops.
" I think I would be a good nurse. Which is odd, because I'm caring, but not nurturing.
" I learned when I was doing China Beach from the women who had been nurses in Vietnam that they really were so selfless, and I never really believed that before. As an actor, you're taught to look for people's personal motivation, and they didn't have any. They were there for the boys. And it really was about serving for other people. And I think that's beautiful. It's something I aspire to.
" I believe we are put on this earth to be of service. It's how I find meaning in my life. And it's fun!

" I'm the worst rider. I'm a terrible rider. Me and horses are not a good mix. For some reason, people are always trying to get me on a horse in a movie.
" It was always very important to me not to be defined by a man.

Nothing better than a fart joke. Unless it's a penis joke.
" Just walked into a fart on Christopher St. But that's the olfactory beauty of NYC. A surprise on every corner.
" I think that everyone has their own path. Mine is to explore roles that interest me emotionally and that challenge me. Other people are more interested in recognition. That's secondary to me.
" Just saw a middle aged couple holding hands & gazing into each other's eyes at a bar. All I could think of was a Cialis commercial.

" I am incapable of doing work that I don't care about.
" I am loving studying French online. It's like playing a video game but you can tell yourself you're learning something. Also, my French is so much better with a little rosé. I do funny voices.
