Thinking Quotes by Cynthia Nixon

Cynthia Nixon

Eleanor Roosevelt was painfully shy, painfully shy. So she overcompensated. In the same way that Nancy Reagan felt unattractive and unlovable and so everything had to be – hair had to be perfect, and the makeup and the clothes. Because she thought, “They don’t think I’m pretty.”

I am very annoyed about this issue. Why can’t it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems we’re just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I don’t think that they should define the terms of the debate. I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didn’t realize I was gay, which I find really offensive. I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men I’ve been out with.

I think [nancy Reagan] was a very controlled and controlling person, because she was so scared all the time and because she had such an inner sense of panic.

I think Tim Matheson is amazing and I think he’s amazing in this – I haven’t seen the film [Killing Reagan] since we shot it, but I think he’s just incredible.

I think what Laura Linney was saying about teaching her all the lessons as a child actor, right, that’s a whole ball of wax. That’s a really mixed bag of stuff. I look at so many people that I knew personally or didn’t know personally but who have ended badly, have died young, have been destitute – there are a lot of bad child-actor-gone-wrong stories, a very high percentage, but I think the thing about it is that a lot of those are Hollywood stories, and you don’t have that same kind of a thing in the theater.

I was in film before I was on stage. I started acting when I was like 12. But, no, I think my mother indoctrinated me very early.

Nancy Reagan sort of downplayed that, you know – but she was quite successful. At the time she married Ronald Reagan, I think she was keenly aware that [Reagan’s first wife] Jane Wyman’s career had eclipsed Ronald Reagan’s, so she was very determined not to have that happen.

The idea of making access to safe abortions harder and more expensive and more difficult, having to travel across state lines – that puts women’s health and lives in jeopardy, which is something I think no one wants.
