Yale? I was at Yale on a scholarship.

KWMR is my radio station, and I intend to have a job there as I get older. That's what I'm lobbying for. They don't need me. They've got plenty of people. But let's see if I can make myself indispensable.
Frances McDormand -
I can do a good John Wayne.
Frances McDormand -
People love to drop in 'you betcha' as often as they can.
Frances McDormand -
I want to separate my professional life from my personal life. I want to live a normal life and be a normal mother.

I buy books, I have shelves of books. I love to read.

Unless it's a flat-out farce, an actor can't play comedy on film.
Frances McDormand -
It's like some weird excuse for high school kids to vomit. It's not good. It's stupid. I'm sure that's not what St. Patrick's Day is supposed to be about, but who knows.
Frances McDormand -
One of the reasons I am successful as a producer is that I've been a very successful housewife.
Frances McDormand -
Getting older and adjusting to all the things that biologically happen to you is not easy to do and is a constant struggle and adjustment.
Frances McDormand -
My father was a minister, and it was more my mother that had the responsibility of making sure the family put out an outward of appearance of living what he was preaching. She was the PR.
Frances McDormand -
I'm trained in the theater, and acting, for me, is about the imaginative life I create for myself, not about basing it on something real. I think that whatever I create becomes the reality for the audience.

The fact that I'm sleeping with the director may have something to do with it.
Frances McDormand -
The crew on 'Three Bilboards,' by the way, is one of the best I've ever worked with. And that's not hyperbole.
Frances McDormand -
I'm not an actor because I want my picture taken. I'm an actor because I want to be part of the human exchange.
Frances McDormand -
It's kind of a subversive act to tell a story of a woman past a certain age, to develop a four-hour movie based on a marriage and a story of two people past middle age.
Frances McDormand -
You can't make a rule about it. The minute you make a rule, it's like putting your wedding pictures in 'In Style' magazine - you're divorced.
Frances McDormand -
I haven't done much press for many reasons, but mostly because it's not an interesting dialogue about work that's been done. It's turned into something else. It's become this ridiculous other thing.

There's something healing about tears.
Frances McDormand -
Even though I'm an actor, I've gone to productions where there has been someone whose work is known in film, and you can't take your eyes off them. It unbalances the production. Whether they're good or not, it doesn't matter.
Frances McDormand -
I love flying by the seat of my pants, going at something instinctually.
Frances McDormand -
I'm not really that interested in going back to playing small supporting roles.
