Amy Landecker Quotations

I was at the radio station all the time and on the air all the time. I met John Travolta and a lot of the other big '70s icons. Shaun Cassidy sang 'Da Do Ron Ron' to me onstage. I thought I was a rock star; I had an all-access-pass childhood.

When I was younger, everyone thought I was Courteney Cox.

I'll always identify as a Chicagoan; if it wasn't so cold, I'd be there forever.

I will spend anything on the best sheets in the world because I am going to be in them every night. I like them white and crazy soft.

We actually use a lot of improvisation on 'Transparent.'

I think it's amazing that I'm 45 and it is the most creatively successful year of my life.

It's hard to get those roles that allow you to show everything and feel like you're really being used and exhausted and spent, which I think is what actors really love: We want to be tired.

I thought maybe I'd be a female sportscaster.

Look at Jane Lynch, another Chicagoan. She has a career I'd kill for. She does amazing work; she's famous enough to have some power, but not so famous she has to deal with people buzzing around her life.

I've never, ever had a job that lasted for more than a few months.
