Waiting Tables Quotes

• Empecé fregando suelos, sirviendo mesas y atendiendo el bar en la taberna de mi padre. Me pagué los estudios con trabajos esporádicos y turnos de noche. Me volqué en cuerpo y alma en un pequeño negocio. Y cuando vi lo alejado que estaba Washington de los valores fundamentales de esta gran nación, me presenté a las elecciones.

• I have to say, doing theater, that's what you're trained to do. Doing film, when I first started doing it, felt like something else entirely. It felt like the difference between, I don't know, waiting tables and painting a great work of art. It's night and day. I didn't feel like it was even acting.

• When I first got to L.A., I was stretching $20 a week, waiting tables, and I did that for about six months.

• I want to quit. Not performing, but being a woman altogether. I want to throw my hands in the air, after reading a mean Twitter comment, and say, 'All right! You got it. You figured me out. I'm not pretty. I'm not thin. I do not deserve to use my voice. I'll start wearing a burqa and start waiting tables at a pancake house. All my self-worth is based on what you can see.' But then I think, F*** that ... I am a woman with thoughts and questions and s*** to say. I say if I'm beautiful. I say if I'm strong. You will not determine my story - I will.
