55 Quotes by Molly Shannon

I definitely have loads of respect for writers and the art of writing.

I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered where I've been like, 'I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me.' I don't want to do something if I don't feel like I can do a good job serving the material.

If you can write and create original characters, do your own show, develop your own material, it gives you more power than just waiting around to be hired.

There was a period where I stopped auditioning because I was like, 'I don't have the heart.' There's just so much rejection.

I think that, being a mother, you would do anything for your children. Their pain is your pain; if they're in pain, you feel their pain.

I used to get painful crushes on really unavailable guys.

I just try to laugh at the little things. Like, I'm always amazed by how long it takes two kids to get dressed and out the door. Every morning I say, 'Come on! Let's go! Five minutes!' And they're still in their underwear. Or they say they're ready, but they're not wearing shoes.

When I see a mom embarrassed because her kid is having a temper tantrum, I'm like, 'Please! Do you think I've never gone through that?' Women tend to be too hard on themselves.

Without a doubt, the worst part of being a mom is having to floss my kids' teeth every night. It's so tedious.
