ADD QUOTES
- Maura: I cry a lot when I try to quit smoking. It's horrible. At work nobody knows how to deal with me. They'll be like "Action!", I start weeping... it's hard. (The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson; May 14, 2008)

- Maura Tierney: (on getting the role of Pat McBeth in "Scotland, Pa.", directed by her husband) My line is that I not only had to sleep with the director, I had to sleep with him for 10 years. That's the longest casting-couch session ever. (SFGate, February 10, 2002)
  Edit Share Hide
- Maura Tierney: I mean, I'm always wary about saying there's no great roles for women. I guess it's true and it's not true. It is the marketplace. Which is a little bit sad, in terms of what studios decide people will think is funny. I think the decisions about what entertains people are made before they know what entertains people. Now it seems really, really about the bottom line. But there is also new media! And it's easier than ever to make a movie now... If I'm frustrated, I should write a movie or shoot a movie. And 25 years ago you couldn't. (Los Angeles Times; March 2, 2008)
