Judith Hoag quotes
- I've shot eight [television pilots] so far. I am an optimist. I believe
that one day I will do a pilot that will actually go!
- This work is never boring. I can go from pretending to live one kind of
life to another to another to another. It's like a big game of dress-up
and make-believe. The longer I do this the more fun it gets and the
freer I allow myself to be creatively.
- [about working in Bad City Blues] I'd been playing a lot
of mothers and while I was a mother in this story as well, I got to rob
banks, jump off of balconies and shoot guns . . . all while wearing
leather!
- My advice to new actors is: Don't be lazy, Go after what you desire.
Don't heed the commonplace advice that is meant to discourage you. If
you want it go and get it. Be willing to work hard and be patient Be
kind to yourself.
- I think commercials get a bad rap, that there's no creativity to them,
but I haven't found that to be entirely true. The process of
auditioning for them can be tedious but actually doing them can be
really fun.
- [about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles] I got this movie
while I was still shooting Cadillac Man and had to fly
off to North Carolina on the weekends. Everyone wondered what kind of
strange movie I was off doing. Only Robin [Robin Williams (I)]
had heard of the Ninja Turtles. He had collected all of the comic books
and couldn't wait to see the movie. He brought his kids to the premiere
and surprised me. The movie ended up being a big hit. I still have a
hard time watching that movie . . . I was never satisfied with how it
came out. It lost a lot of its soul. Elias Koteas, however, was
brilliant.
