"Being a mother does make a difference; I think it keeps you on the right track. When I first started in this business, I really cared about what I did because I didn't want to humiliate my aunts and uncles, my family in general, and that sort of kept my feet on the ground."---Andie MacDowell on her choice of roles such as Selma Lidz in "Unstrung Heroes" from Entertainment Today, September 15, 1995.
"I do not think anyone could have done 'sex, lies and videotape' better that I did. That might sound vain, but that is what I thought. I did not attend the Cannes film festival [where it won best film] because I had just had a baby and looked like a cow. I was also into being a mom, nursing every two hours. That has been one of the reasons I have never become enormously successful, I think. A career is great, but not everything. It really does have to become everything to reach the top in our business."---Andie MacDowell to the London Times, June 15, 1999.
"I don't think that youth should be glorified," she says. "But now that the baby boomers are all grown up, that obsession might change, "I hope." MacDowell on America's youth-obsessed culture People, February 19, 2004.
About having her voice dubbed by Glenn Close in "Greystoke": "I mean, like it's your greatest fumble and everybody knows about it. And it empowers the entire world against you. Not just the writers who used to pass judgment on me. And not just the people in the business who wanted to so easily discard me or have a good joke at my expense. But every person who read an article about me could get the feeling that I was this person who was incapable of delivering, that I was this person who had to have somebody else come in and fix everything for me. But what happened, happened, and I basically have a thorn in my side that will never go away. It's a very difficult, gut-wrenching experience for me, and to constantly have to deal with it is a pain in the ass. I wish it would go away, but you can't make bad things go away."---MacDowell to US, January 1997.
