Gina Gershon Quotations

My best attribute is knowing when not to answer stupid questions

My favorite part of a roller-coaster ride is when you're going up and you're slightly scared and really excited. You don't know what's coming next but you know it's going to be good. You can't handle it, go on the carousel

I love giving gifts and I love receiving them. I really like giving little kids extravagant gifts. You see their little faces light up and they get excited. If it's a really good gift, I love receiving it, like jewels, small islands.

I did the cover of Cigar Aficionado, so I'm supposed to talk about loving cigars. I've smoked them a couple of times. My father used to smoke cigars. I love the idea and the concept, and I love the smell of cigars

You don't quite know how drunk you are until all of a sudden you're on the floor

I think smart is sexy. I like smart people. People that are comfortable with themselves I think is very sexy. My cat is really sexy.

Feeding is a very important ritual for me. I don't trust people who don't like to eat.

I think people stop themselves from doing the things they want to do. I just think you never know how long you're going to be around so you might as well do the things that are intriguing. Nobody really cares anyway so you have to do what makes you happy.

I love cats. I have a lot of cat tales, ha ha, so to speak. A lot of my cats come to me. They show up at my house. I'm kind of a cat lady that way.

I feel like I still am struggling in a lot of different ways. I still have to fight for certain things. Certain jobs. At least I'm working and I'm thankful for that

In any profession, there's a sleazy side and an honorable side

Struggling at anything that you want to be doing is hard

The critics tend to forget their own answers after a while

I'm involved in Project ALS which is trying to get money for stem cell research. That's one I've been pretty involved with because if you can cure that, you can cure so many other diseases.

When Bound was released, Boys don't Cry wasn't out yet. Therefore it was very taboo to play a lesbian. I loved the part, because girls never get to play the typical guy parts.

A lot of my friends are struggling musicians. Being a struggling actor, it's just frustrating because you're not allowed to do what you want to do

Actresses are nightmares. I don't hang out with any of them. That's a problem with my profession. I try not to be like an actress

I learned a lot about critics, not to really take them too seriously about movies.

I usually just have one cat. It is difficult, but I have my one cat that he'll travel with me if it's appropriate, if I'm not going overseas.

I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little.

Lately, I've been a little sad that I'm not a gay man

I always find people who are unique very attractive.

People seem to get weirdly obsessed with my mouth.

I think the original Matrix was really incredible. It was so original and it did so many innovative things with film. It was a much bigger film. Bound was just a smaller film. It was kind of like an old noir film

I would love to do a big studio movie, just because they're going to put the money into distributing it. A lot of times you do these little movies, you love them and they never get seen by anyone.

It's basically a morality tale. It's all about morals and values. It just happens to be done topless.

I like coming here when my friends are here.

Independent film has always been a cool thing, although the lines seem to be getting blurred now. You go to movies, you don't know what's the big studio film or what the independent film is.

If it's a really good gift, I love receiving it, like jewels, small islands.

I've seen it too many times in Hollywood. Talking about a relationship in public can jinx it. And if you have your picture taken together, you might as well start packing your bags.

I dont have any blonde friends.

Size counts. That's all.

I'm not a lesbian, but my girlfriend is.
