All of a sudden i was joan [mad man] and they're going, "oh, so she plays a badass in this." and i'm like, "oh my god, i get to play badasses." firefly was a little bit of that, but she started out as a mouse and then she turned into a dragon. but i never really had that opportunity. so all of a sudden people were like, "oh, do you feel like you're being typecast?" i would say, "no, this is just opening the doors." no one thought i could do it and someone finally trusted me to do it.

Badass Firefly Opportunity

More From Christina Hendricks

Firefly: where is your husband? mrs. teasdale: why, he's dead. firefly: i'll bet he's just using that as an excuse. mrs. teasdale: i was with him to the very end. firefly: hmmph. no wonder he passed away. mrs. teasdale: i held him in my arms and kissed him. firefly: oh i see. then, it was murder.

I'm so old that when i started keeping a diary they were in actual books, and i think that's one the reasons that i've never written about sex. because early on you had to worry that someone was going to find your diary, so it's bad enough to be writing like joan didion, but writing like joan didion about sex acts you'd performed with somebody you had known for 20 minutes, that's a bit worse. so i would write in my diary, "i met j. and we had sex five times last night." but i would never write about what we did.

We have reached the age, those of us to whom fortune has assigned a post in life's struggle, when beaten and smashed and biffed by the lashing of the dragon's tail, we begin to appreciate that the old man was not such a fool after all. we saw our parents wrestling with the same dragon, and we thought, though we never spoke a thought aloud, 'why doesn't he hit him on the head?' alas, comrads, we know now. we have hit the dragon on the head and we have seen the dragon smile.

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.

[grandfather] would manufacture funnies with grandmother before she died about how he was in love with other women who were not her. she knew it was only funnies because she would laugh in volumes. 'anna,' he would say, 'i am going to marry that one with the pink hat.' and she would say, 'to whom are you going to marry her?' and he would say, 'to me.' i would laugh very much in the back seat, and she would say to him, 'but you are no priest.' and he would say, 'i am today.' and she would say, 'today you believe in god?' and he would say, 'today i believe in love.

The firefly is an unassuming insect in the daytime. if you didn't know what it was, you'd think it was nothing special. but at night, the firefly glows with its own light source. the darkness brings out its most beautiful gift. that's an extraordinary talent for an ordinary-looking creature, isn't it?

Similar Quotes

We're growing up together, the human race. and we've discovered a lot of things that we didn't know. we're finding our way. instead of thinking about doomsday all the time, think about how beautiful the world is. we're all together, and together we're getting wiser.

Life is beautiful, as long as it consumes you. when it is rushing through you, destroying you, life is gorgeous, glorious. it's when you burn a slow fire and save fuel, that life's not worth having.

My wife's hands are very beautiful. i'm going to have a bust made of them.

Storms and darkness scared me, but somehow it encouraged me to learn about nature and i think nothing's dark, dark is beautiful too.
