~ Gina Gershon Quote
What's the animal that always changes color? A chameleon. I feel kind of like that. Because if they're nervous or scared or they don't trust someone, they have a different sort of camouflage. But as soon as they warm up to someone, they reveal their true colors.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
When I moved to New York, I re-invented myself from a valley surfer chick to an east coast snob. My accent and my whole look changed. Now I'd rather stay in and read books than go out and sun myself.

~ Gina Gershon Quote
For everyone I've ever lived with, it's like the big joke: who's going to come home today? I'm like a split personality. My face changes, my voice changes, my personality changes. If I'm talking about Boston or New York, you'll notice my voice change. It's bad; I have no personality!
~ Gina Gershon Quote
People seem to get weirdly obsessed with my mouth.
~ Gina Gershon Quote

You see such a crossover now and in some ways TV has more power than films, even.

Being the control freak that I am, I want to know everything beforehand. At this point I'm just going along for the ride.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
When I use dreams it's for a character, it's to try and figure out what someone is thinking. When I'm playing music it's my music, so it's already my subconscious mind. It's already what I'm thinking, I'm not playing a character, I was lucky just to sleep let alone dream.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
It's basically a morality tale. It's all about morals and values. It just happens to be done topless.

I was the youngest, and my brother and sister really didn't want anything to do with me. All I wanted to do was hang out with them. So I had my little Spanish village, I acted out a lot, I'd make up plays and all those things. Without realizing I was doing it, I was entertaining myself.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
I'm not a huge fan of rules and regulations. I like that she hacks into computers, bugs houses, and videotapes people. She does everything you're not really supposed to. It's traditionally a guy's part and that appealed to me, but I still want her to be girly.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
Clearly I don't want to do a reality show. So I said I'd want to do a kind of video documentary where the audience isn't going to see my personal life, not going to see fights backstage and we're not going to see anyone being humiliated. I'm not into that.
~ Gina Gershon Quote

I sang in one band called Fellow Johnson when I was 15. They needed a singer so I did a couple clubs with them. I was more into musical theatre, dance troupes and stuff. So I really put aside the music for awhile but people who wanted to do a record with me kept coming to me and I kept saying no.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
I'm finding how easy it is to tap into phones, to find people's Social Security numbers, to break into computers. If I can do it, anyone can do it.

I love cats. I have a lot of cat tales, ha ha, so to speak. A lot of my cats come to me. They show up at my house. I'm kind of a cat lady that way.

~ Gina Gershon Quote

~ Gina Gershon Quote
One day after the next I was madly in love with some boy. I like having those feelings; they're fun; awful and fun.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
When I meet talented directors I get really giggly to the point of it being really ridiculous so that's how I knew I respected them.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
I'm just nervous and anxious all the time - I drink too much coffee. But you know, everything can be solved with a bottle; the bottle is a universal cure-all - and not just a booze bottle, any bottle. You break up with your boyfriend, you get a bottle of peroxide. You get sad, you have a drink. Need to sleep? Get a bottle of pills. Baby needs to be calmed down? Give it a bottle. There are genies in bottles.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
My favorite part of a roller-coaster ride is when you're going up and you're slightly scared and really excited. You don't know what's coming next but you know it's going to be good. You can't handle it, go on the carousel.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
The critics tend to forget their own answers after a while.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
I talked to three other bands and a lot of individual people. In my head I always thought if I went on tour then I would put together different friends of mine in kind of a select band. But when you only have two weeks, dealing with people's schedules is so crazy.
~ Gina Gershon Quote
I've seen it too many times in Hollywood. Talking about a relationship in public can jinx it. And if you have your picture taken together, you might as well start packing your bags.
