I want to be able to fly like a superhero. I won’t be happy until I can fly across oceans and cities, saving people from being murdered. – Heather Graham
I’d rather look old than look as if I’d had plastic surgery. Sometimes it looks really fake; all people can think about when they look at you is that you’ve had plastic surgery. – Heather Graham
I remember when we were shooting ‘Boogie Nights,’ all of my stand-ins were wiping out all the time. I’d practice before I got to the set, but they’d just show up and put on the roller-skates, and they’d be skating over these wires and cables, so they would all fall over. It was totally dangerous. – Heather Graham
A man can be 43, and people will say, ‘Oh, he’s a cool bachelor, and he just hasn’t settled down,’ but with a woman, it’s, ‘Oh, she must have really wanted to get married, but she didn’t.’ I honestly think that attitude is a little bit sexist. – Heather Graham
I’m a good Catholic girl in the way that Madonna is. In the sense that I’m not that good at all. – Heather Graham
I basically think that I’m a fairly nice, normal person with just a few eccentricities. – Heather Graham
I’m not the kind of person who needs to be a mother no matter what. Life brings you people. Maybe I’ll nurture someone who’s not my child, like a friend, or an actor I’m working with who needs some love. – Heather Graham
I’d like to think I could do something great – a performance like Meryl Streep’s in ‘Sophie’s Choice’ – at some point in my life. At the same time, though, I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself to be great. – Heather Graham
I’ve been evaluating how much I value happiness in my life. To be too driven takes away your happiness. – Heather Graham
There’s always a side of me that goes, ‘I’m just a nerd.’ I never look at myself and say, ‘I’m beautiful.’ Like anyone else, I see the flaws. Guys don’t do that as much as women. But you have to learn to appreciate and accept and love yourself as you are. – Heather Graham
In my own life, I’ve written scripts that I want to direct, so I would love to take my own creativity in a way where I could tell my own story. That does inspire me, the idea of becoming a director. – Heather Graham
Once a week, I spend a day luxuriating in bed. I like staying in my house, pottering around, and maybe cooking or just laying around reading. I love doing yoga and transcendental meditation. – Heather Graham
The funny thing is, I look at these magazines that make me so insecure and neurotic, but I’m in them! – Heather Graham
I’m not actually a mom in real life, so it’s fun to pretend to be one. I like to approach things the same in art as in life. You can choose to look on the positive side and enjoy whatever roles you’re given. You can find the silver lining in anything. – Heather Graham
I took karate classes for a few years. Taekwondo. I’d love to do a movie role where I could do some karate. – Heather Graham
I definitely like not working sometimes. It’s so fun. I just love sleeping in. In America, everyone is driven to succeed and wake up and do something. But I don’t care. I want to sleep in. I want to relax. I don’t want to have to get up every day. – Heather Graham
I am intrigued by different religions and respect them all, but to be honest, I feel the most spiritual when I am doing yoga or looking at an ocean. Being spiritual is feeling a connection with a higher power and knowing that life is about more than just achieving goals. It is about feeling good in the moment. – Heather Graham
It would be nice if I did have a good relationship with my family, and yes, part of me longs to have a mum and dad who love and accept me for who I am. But if they never do, it’s OK. – Heather Graham
