Shiri Appleby Quotations

I want to do work where I have something to say.

Watching somebody else fail definitely makes you feel better with what you've accomplished and where your standing is in life.

After years of struggling with how I looked, I'm pretty comfortable and proud of my body now.

As an actor, you're just brought on to fill one role, so it's nice to see what the entire journey is like. As much as I'd be allowed to do it, I would do it. I love it.

The lead actress is like the host of the party, but when you're the lead actress and you're a producer, you're really throwing the party. You have so much control in making sure everyone is having a really good time and everyone is heard.

It's really important to just accept who we are, and find somebody who accepts us for who we are.

I love doing a television show. It just always feels like it's a little while before you find something that feels unique and that feels like a character that you really want to play for awhile.

As an actor, I love being pushed. I love the feeling of, "Oh my god, I have to keep trying. What else is there to do?".

I'd love to be a huge television director. I definitely want to do that. I could imagine me going more and more into that, as I age.

I think dating is all about role playing, and figuring out what you want and don't want. You figure out more about yourself by meeting people. You're like, "I'm not right for that person, but why am I not?" I think dating is a really interesting journey.
