Marcia Gay Harden Quotations

With any tween, you have issues, from what they are going to wear to school, to how do you get them to speak politely, to how regularly they lose their contact lenses.

As a mother, I love the Leapster handheld because it really delivers on educating children while they play. My daughter enjoys it because it's fun and touches on all of the activities she is interested in - videos, books and art.

You can manipulate the viewer in film. With theater, what you see is what you get.

In my kids' school, the married family is an anomaly... which I do think is sad. I do believe in marriage.

Harlem is a very family-oriented neighborhood, and it always has been.

Doing theater is such a specifically energetic and almost acrobatic work.

I loved playing Anne Bancroft, because she was so wonderfully arch.

I love being a mother; I hate being a housewife - the cooking, the laundry - because it takes away time I could be with my kids.

They tell us in magazines and in ads, 'Oh, you should look like this, you should wear this, you should look like this movie star, or you're nothing.' And so we're all totally unsatisfied.

I'm always a little starstruck anyway. So to work with a movie star, which is Brad, I was excited about that; to work with a movie legend, which is Tony, I wouldn't have passed that up. Just to get to watch him and watch how he works.
