I love being an advocate for women as we get older so that we can feel comfortable with ourselves. – Andie MacDowell
I will do simple cleanses and have a day where I’m quiet and don’t talk. I need to have this experience, especially after work has been really intense. – Andie MacDowell
When the children were little, I’d fly into L.A. for a specific work project, but then I’d leave again, and when I was home, I wouldn’t even read a script. – Andie MacDowell
The truth is that humans have the potential to be horrific. And I think being conscious of that is important. – Andie MacDowell
In the days when I used to tweet, I would encounter comments wishing death upon me. There were people who claimed they were sticking pins in my effigy because they couldn’t stand me. There’s some seriously disturbed people out there. – Andie MacDowell
Some women are naturally thin. But there needs to be an appreciation for a variety of types of women because we don’t all come in one package. We’re not pre-destined to all be a size six. – Andie MacDowell
I’ve already made a substantial commitment to wildlife by putting my land in the easement. It won’t be developed. It will remain there in perpetuity – will be there for the wildlife. – Andie MacDowell

My high school experience was kind of like ‘Mean Girls.’ It was very much like a bad B movie. ‘This is where the jocks sit, and this is where the cheerleaders sit.’ And I never really fit in.

I was fortunate to be able to do two movies with Harold Ramis. He was the kindest of any director with whom I worked. Harold was a genius.
