Quote context

[...]

- My parents have never really spoken of the possibility of my falling in love, or getting married or having children.

- Even as a little girl, they wanted me to think as a future career as a, you know, interior designer, or lawyer or something like that.

- I'd say to my Dad, 'I want to be a writer,' and he'd say, 'Journalist.'

- I'd say I wanted to have a refuge for stray cats and he'd say, 'Veterinarian.'

- I'd say I wanted to be an actress and he'd say, 'TV newscaster.'

- It was this constant conversion of my fanciful ambition into these practical, moneymaking ventures.

- Mmm. I always had a pretty good bullshit detector when I was a kid. I always knew when they were lying to me, you know?

- By the time I was in high school, I was dead set on listening to what everybody thought I should be doing with my life, and just kinda... doing the opposite.

- Nobody was ever mean about it. It's just I could never get very excited about other people's ambitions for my life.

- Hmm. But you know what? If your parents never really fully contradict you about anything, and are basically nice and supportive, it makes it even harder to officially complain. You know, even when they're wrong.

- It's this passive-aggressive shit. You know what I mean? It's... I hate it. I really hate it.

Top rated lines from this movie

Gotta say I like this Viennese variation of a bum.

You know what? They're not service-orientated. Just an observation about Europe.

Yeah. I don't know. Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husband. And sometimes that feels really close. But then other times, it seems silly, like it would, ruin my whole life.

Even if we were a little bit, why does everyone think conflict is so bad? There's a lot of good things coming out of conflict.

I met a guy on the train, and I got off with him in Vienna. We're still there.
