carrie preston quotes:
“It’s very hard to get people to read in this town ... a town of scripts and nobody really wants to read them!”
“I want to see badass women doing interesting things on TV.”
“Life it not a race; it’s a journey.”
“I think a lot of time people are pretty disappointed that I’m not Elsbeth. ”
“I’m ambitious — and I used to think that was something I had to hide.”
