Quotes by Annette Bening

Acting is not about being famous, it's about exploring the human soul.

I am really looking forward as I get older and older, to being less and less nice.

I have perfected the art of putting my feet on my husband's lap during awards ceremonies so he can rub them.

Oh, honey, I'm from Oklahoma! This is who I am - middle-class all the way!

Right now, I love the fact that I have so many opportunities, but I know this privileged position cannot last. That doesn't mean that I'll stop working. I picture myself as an old actress doing cameos in films with people saying: Isn't that that Bening woman?

Yes, I know I've played these women, but I'm not really conniving at all.
