Quotes

Felicity Huffman: I've always had a 40-year-old body, and now that I'm actually there I'm like, 'Hey, pretty good, huh?' (edit)
Felicity Huffman: (Comparing herself to her character, Lynette Scavo, in Desperate Housewives) Well, for one thing, I would have raised my hand and called "Uncle" long before Lynette did. I would have said I need help: "We either have to move your mother here, or move my mother here and you cannot work as much." The other thing is, Lynette fudges the truth to her kids, but I wouldn't. (edit)
Felicity Huffman: (Talking about his husband helping her if she is stuck with a scene) Well, he wouldn't walk me through it, not that I would mind being walked through anything by William H. Macy. I would fax him changes and the call sheets, so he knew what was coming up. And there were many scenes where I thought, you know, "I'm lost; I'm in the weeds!" and he would break it down or give me ideas. And it's kind of amazing, you know; it's kind of like having Tiger Woods in your back pocket. (edit)
Felicity Huffman: (Talking about her performances) When I am frightened I am a little bit fasty so there is times I say "Why!? Why do you want me to do that!? No! I am not gonna do that!!" (edit)
Felicity Huffman: (Talking about her performance in "Transamerica")
Transamerica has been a dream come true becuase I knew that it was a great acting challenge and I was scared to death every day we shot. (edit)
