Pamela Adlon

Quotes

Pamela Adlon

  • Everybody hates you when you're the best, and everybody hates you when you're the worst.
  • You can't regulate what these kids are being exposed to on the Internet. It's so way out of control. All you can do is just try to talk to your own kids.
  • The thing about women playing boys is that we're not going to age, and we're not going to go through puberty in the middle of a long-running series.
  • I went from buying my own condominium and a car for myself when I was 17 on The Facts of Life (1979) to not being able to pay my rent. I was at the unemployment office all the time. I had to sell my record collection just to make ends meet. And then I started getting these voice-over jobs.
  • Before Lucky Louie (2006), nobody would ever cast me to play a mom or a wife; nobody ever saw me in that role, which is weird, since that's who I really am.
  • One of the things I learned in animation is that you never, ever want to start doing a voice that you can't sustain for four straight hours.
  • My roles in the '80s were, like, gender dysphoric. I wasn't pretty, I wasn't this, I wasn't that. And I am kind of butchy, you know. That's just my thing.
  • I don't think I have a demographic. I was at Comic-Con in San Diego recently, and I was doing a signing, and my line was all military guys, young girls, housewives and guys in wheelchairs. There was just everybody all over the place.
  • I have nothing but respect and admiration for Ginny as a director and friend and would kill to work with her again and again in medium.
  • [on performing with Tab Hunter in the cast of 'Grease 2'] I was the only kid and he was so kind to me. When everybody was hanging out together, I was a little bit on the outside, but Tab would be in his trailer needlepointing, and he taught me how.
