Vicki Lawrence Quotes

I like pushing boundaries.

Pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable - to me, that's something I'm definitely interested in and want to pursue.

It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.

If anyone ever tells me something doesn't go together, it makes me want to try it.

If you want to be in the world I live in, which is a creative world with new ideas, then you've got to get away from the norm. You've got to go for it.

I try every day to do something that I've never done before or make some sound that I've never made before.

I think we shouldn't buckle up our creativity. You've got to experiment!

I love to experiment, to push myself, and I want people to accept me in roles that I have never attempted before.

You have to be slightly uncomfortable with what you're doing, and you have to be able to try to find moments of newness.

If you don't take a risk then what's the point. We can't keep making films in the same space.

What's on the edge? What's next? That's where I think I do my best work - if I push my whole team to the edge.

You don't know what you can get away with until you try.

I'd rather experiment than follow the same formula. I'm a curious person. It's gotten me into trouble, but I say, 'Why not? Let's try it.'

It's only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you're not expressing the utmost of your human experience.

I'm attracted to seeing how different I can be, pushing the boat out.

I love to play things that are out-of-the-box. It's just that I don't always get the chance to do it!

I feel like every time I take on a movie, it's important that the possibility of failure exists, and of the unknown, because it's a challenge to do something I haven't done before and something I have to try to work out.
