Dianne Wiest Quotes


Dianne Wiest

(speaking in 1987) "All I`ve done since is three days on `Bright Lights, Big City` as `Michael J. Fox`` mother. That`s what an Oscar does for you."

My first meeting with Woody Allen lasted 30 seconds. He looked at me, said hello, asked someone to take a Polaroid, thanked me very much and I was shown the door. When I came out, the woman due after me was still doing the same thing as when I went in. She was shocked - `What happened?` But that`s how it is. My agent had warned me. Not hers. She was stunned.

I`d like to play a real cold, mean mass murderer. Some cruel, hard-bitten women, like the roles Glenn Close gets, just to show that I am capable of not being vulnerable and not being fragile on screen. (on being typecast as fragile or neurotic characters)
