What’s the difference between a personality disorder and a personality? You know? That’s what I wanna know!
Parker Posey
I like finding things in locations where I’ve worked and things from down South and things from flea markets or even the sidewalks.
Parker Posey
Do you know why I don’t like doing press? I have trouble condensing things. I’d rather have a conversation.
Parker Posey
With ‘Dazed and Confused,’ I got the high school experience I didn’t get to have.
Parker Posey
I wouldn’t say I was a queen. Maybe a little elf.
Parker Posey
Sometimes I go to movies, and it’s just a bombardment, and I’m not entertained by them – I’m assaulted by them! And I know I sound like such a drama queen, but I find that really strange.
Parker Posey
I’ve seen deer. I have lots of woodchucks on my property. And bluebirds. Foxes.
Parker Posey
In case you don’t know this, we’re not in the ’90s anymore. Indie cinema does not reign.
Parker Posey
I want to do horror and action, and I’m only being slightly facetious.
Parker Posey
It’s always the girl comedy and the guy comedy. It bums me out. You’d think there’d be a progression, from James L. Brooks and Nora Ephron into more subtle humor and behavior and psychology. All these interesting things people can learn about themselves by watching talented writers comment intelligently on someone else’s emotional life.

Parker Posey
I love the romcom. I thought I had a career playing the best friend. What happened to that? It’s really sad to me.
Parker Posey
How movies are financed, it’s a world market now… I feel like, you know, the independent film way of working is something that was in my bones. It’s like being a part of a punk band, but no one’s singing punk rock anymore. Only a few bands are able to play, and Woody Allen is one of them.
Parker Posey
They’re like a weird couple. If you were to personify the artichoke and the oyster, they would have a great date. They would totally get along.
Parker Posey
I’m a good girl, you know? But I’m from the South, and there are some powerful women down there, and very theatrical.
Parker Posey
I have a twin brother, so I was around guys like a sister. It was comfortable to me.
Parker Posey
I find myself listening to Talk Talk on repeat while I’m doing gardening in upstate New York. Their music is so languid, and I just love his voice.
Parker Posey
I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don’t realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.
Parker Posey
I like soap opera acting. If it’s done really well, there’s nothing better. It’s old school. It’s like what those melodramas in the ’30s and ’40s were like.
Parker Posey
There are all these scripts where the women, if they’re working, are prostitutes and lawyers with an angry streak who’ll kill you. It’s a reaction to women leaving their men and men being angry about it and saying it on some subconscious level.
Parker Posey
But it’s fun to be something, have that, and you don’t have to be real. It’s like, comedians. They go on and they’re doing all these jokes. I would be like that if I were more awake.
Parker Posey
I’m the character actor in Hollywood movies, the girl who has to be annoying so the guy can go to the other girl.
Parker Posey
Being an indie queen, people think I have all these choices. Like I’ve just been sitting around waiting for the best indie film that I deem acceptable.
Parker Posey
I’m trying to work in studio movies, but they won’t hire me.
Parker Posey
My first lead role was probably ‘Party Girl’ in 1994.
Parker Posey
I usually play character parts in Hollywood films.
Parker Posey
My dad recently reminded me that my grandfather’s cousin was Lefty Frizzell.
Parker Posey
I love bayou life.
Parker Posey
I don’t Twitter, although sometimes I think that I should.
Parker Posey
My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.
Parker Posey
There are so few movies that still cast on chemistry. Now it’s often, like, this person’s movies make this amount of money, and this person’s movie makes that amount of money, so let’s put them together.
Parker Posey
Every time I do something, I worry it’s my last job.
Parker Posey
Hey, the TV was my friend. As a child, I always said, ‘I want to live in there someday.’
Parker Posey
I wonder if people who see ‘Blade’ will have even seen my other movies. But I don’t want all my movies to be in a vacuum. I need a balance because one pays, and the other doesn’t.
Parker Posey
I really liked playing a vampire. Their hunger is insatiable. Even when they eat someone, it’s never enough.
Parker Posey
There are roles out there and women out there that are fascinating to me, and there are things in our culture that I see that I want to express. It’s my passion to express that.
Parker Posey
I think to do a proper independent movie, in my experience, it takes 22 or 23 days to shoot. That was ‘Party Girl’ or ‘House of Yes.’ But now with the digital camera, the budgets have gotten smaller, and the days have gotten shorter.
Parker Posey
People have more dimensions to them than we give them credit for. The person you meet on the street that you think is someone, and it’s someone else. I’m mistaken for someone else all the time.
Parker Posey
Acting is a really strange thing to do; it’s very strange.
Parker Posey
There are so few stories being produced that are human. I suffer with the loss of that. I feel kind of out of place, even though I’ve continued to work.
Parker Posey
As an artist, you’re always going to be yearning and wanting and never satisfied. I never feel like I’ve really achieved something.
Parker Posey
I work with directors who haven’t had the experience of being on sets as much as I have. I feel like, in a way, if it’s an independent movie, I can teach the crew to kind of relax, or create a vibe. It really is about a vibe.
Parker Posey
The five patients in ‘Rethinking Cancer’ share with us the path of their recovery: the courage to take their own lives in their hands with a natural approach to healing their bodies.
Parker Posey
I really like this trend of songwriting that is honest and intelligent and serious and longing.
Parker Posey
I like to support local record stores.
Parker Posey
Imagine if every airport would blast Brian Eno. I bet going through security wouldn’t be as difficult. I can’t imagine someone being aggressive with me with Brian Eno music pumping through the terminals at LAX.
Parker Posey
When my parents were dating, they were very poor, so my dad couldn’t take my mom out. They would go to the grocery store and pick out funny looking vegetables. When I grew up, we’d still go and find the ones with personality.
Parker Posey
I make a lot of soups, and I love stews. My mother’s a big foodie. She went to culinary school in New Orleans and has an oyster-artichoke soup recipe that has no cream in it but it tastes so creamy.
Parker Posey
I like trying different foods. I’ve done vegetarian stuff, and I’ve gone through meat phases, and then I do no bread, and then I eat bread. I’m really all over the place in the way a lot of actors are.
Parker Posey
I got into the whole Ayurvedic thing. It was really cool.
Parker Posey
I just want to balance myself holistically and see what different foods do what to me.
Parker Posey
I was reading this book called ‘Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind.’ It’s really, really good if you want to believe in that stuff.
Parker Posey
I had dreams of conehead aliens when I was little. Before ‘Saturday Night Live’ did it. And then they came out with them, and I went on to be a glorified extra in the movie. When everyone else was laughing, I was scared.
