The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Dinah Manoff
- I loved being a troublemaker. At Santa Monica High, I would smoke on campus, go barefoot, anything.
- My mother used to ask me to stay home from school and keep her company. I’d fake I was sick, and she’d fake believing me.
- I am my father’s daughter: I have his language, his expressions.
- Once you have been hot and cold, you get real appreciative when you got a place to go every day with decent material, a paycheck to come in, and nice people to work with.
- I think that from 15 to, like, 18, I went through a very rough time. Something basically everyone goes through in those years – not knowing what you’re going to do.
- I’d grown up in a production company, but discovering the importance of the work, I realized I had something to bring here.
- I remember unbelievable tension in our home. There were lots of meetings, lots of worries. I remember my father told me I had to be careful of what I said on the phone because it was tapped. And I remember how his friends adored and revered him.
- I don’t understand people who want to leave a good job. To me, without being terribly judgmental, those are people who haven’t gone through their stint of being out of work for long periods of time.
- Mother was so good that I was defeated even before I started to be an actress. I thought I could never make it unless I spent years in the Actors Studios, went on the blacklist and lived in New York, as she did.
- My mother is a hardcore actor’s actor. She’s not a celebrity. She really isn’t… And so her main concern was that I not fall into the auditioning-is-my-life syndrome.
