More From Lauren Graham
- "Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can’t find his car keys, much less keep a national secret."
- "I definitely wanted to be an actor. I didn’t want to be on TV, I didn’t want to be famous, I didn’t want to be anyone in particular; I just wanted to do it. I see young people now who look at magazines, or American Idol and their goal is to have that lifestyle – to have good handbags, or go out with cute guys from shows, or whatever. But I definitely wanted to be an actor."
- "I think what my hope is is that the only downside of having a steady job on television is, I think for all actors, there’s a piece, there’s some adrenaline, and part of the love of the job is not knowing what’s coming next, and the variety."

- "I’m conscious of a series of circles working its way through my life. And at this particular moment I have come round to the beginning of my writing cycle. It begins with poetry. There’s hardly a day that goes past on which I don’t write poetry."― Ben Okri
- "People who don’t read seem to me mysterious. I don’t know how they think or learn about other people. Novels are a very important part of our education."― Nina Bawden
- "Poetry should… should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance."― John Keats
