Character: Meredith Dardenne

- Welcome to the world of art. As Gwendolyn keeps repeating, when you enter the theater, you have to leave three things on the doorstep: dignity, modesty and privacy. 
- I thought dignity, modesty and pride. 
She told me about dignity, modesty and self-doubt.

- Will you cherish my heart like a jewel in a box?
- I don't know. Will you carry my head in a basket if I am beheaded by pirates?

Treat the girl like a whore and she will begin to behave accordingly.

- You, your mother, look amazing.
- Yep, I know.
The fact that she knew this was somehow sexier than the pretend "no."

I'm afraid I'm more beautiful than talented or smart, and so no one will take me seriously. As an actress and as a person.
