BLYTHE DANNERI think I have a lot of crazy layers.
BLYTHE DANNERMy theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.
BLYTHE DANNERIt was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.
BLYTHE DANNERI was raised in a time where children were still seen and not heard basically, so I think a lot of us in my generation went the other way and just tried to be as much more liberal and open and we’re still paying for it.
BLYTHE DANNERYou learn more discipline in the theatre than you do in movies or TV. You’re on stage every night and you have to sustain your energy level tor several hours.
BLYTHE DANNERWhether you’re on TV or on the stage, you have to work hard to stay fresh, real, and full of energy. You can’t settle back. You always have to stay on your toes.
BLYTHE DANNERFilm has always been hard for me, I’m basically a stage actress. I never felt comfortable in front of the camera.
BLYTHE DANNERI’m mostly a jazz fan and I’ve never really been into rock ‘n’ roll music.
BLYTHE DANNERJust look at my face. Its an extraordinary experience. All of my friends who are grandparents have been saying, just wait, a bit cynically, but its just extraordinary. You feel like a child again yourself. Just walking on air.

BLYTHE DANNERWe all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.
BLYTHE DANNERPart of me says that no life will work if I can’t make this one right.
BLYTHE DANNERI try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.
BLYTHE DANNERI’m not an actor who can constantly pick and choose, I try to get the best of what’s there.
