I’ve pretty much always been on a diet since I was born. And the women in my family struggle, so I find the less I think about food, in a way, the happier I am. In general, I think I eat less the less I think about it. – Lauren Graham
Sometimes I’ll think, ‘That was a really nice day. I ate well, I exercised, I called some friends, wasn’t working too hard,’ but I rarely have one of those. – Lauren Graham
Because I have no consistent schedule as an actor, it was difficult to develop one as a writer. Ideally, I’d like to write first thing in the morning, every day. But sometimes I’m called to set before the sun comes up, or I’ve worked late the night before, or I’m on a plane. – Lauren Graham
All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I’m 100! – Lauren Graham
My mother had lived in London since I was little, so she never got to see my school plays and stuff. – Lauren Graham
One of the things I like about the show is it redefines the idea of what it is to be a mother, which at its most basic level is to take care of a child. It doesn’t mean you have to look like the ladies in the Lysol commercials. – Lauren Graham
I’ve made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life. – Lauren Graham
What I remember about coming to L.A. is that suddenly work was as big a presence in my life as my life itself. – Lauren Graham
The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do – you can’t try to be anybody else. – Lauren Graham
We moved in 8th grade, so 7th grade I was doing okay, and then 8th grade, everything fell apart. I had no fashion sense to speak of. We only had a couple of hair care products back then. We didn’t have all these things to tame your hair. I had glasses; I had braces. I had it all. – Lauren Graham
I’ve always thought my strengths were I’m smart, and I have a good sense of humor. I definitely struggle with feeling confident. – Lauren Graham
When the creator of the show is gone, the actors end up being the people who have been there the longest. – Lauren Graham
Well, it’s more of a sane life to be part of an ensemble! I find that the work can be more specific too and I have to really make sure I know where I am in the story because I’m not in every scene. – Lauren Graham
