Quotes
  • "I enjoy playing characters where I get to sort of change my look, my voice. It's not about what she wears, it's about what she's got inside."
  • "I can bend it like Beckham!"
  • "I think everyone feels lost at times during their high school years. But what I love about Lindsay is that she is basically a girl trying to find her way in the world. She keeps a lot of her feelings inside, which can be painful, but she tries so hard to help people. She is one of those kids who wants to be accepted for who they are, but isn't sure how to do that--which is what I think makes her so endearing" --Cardellini, quoted in NBC press material, talking about Lindsay Weir, her character on the series "Freaks and Geeks"
  • Cardellini on deciding to pursue film and television roles in Los Angeles instead of stage work in New York: "I had the desire to go to Los Angeles, and it's paid off for me. I can't complain." --quoted in DAILY NEWS, August 19, 1999
  • Yeah, if it’s a great story definitely. Kids love it. I hear some 3 or 4 year old kids who can’t speak in complete sentences and they love to talk about Scooby-Doo. It’s fun. It’s really a great character. There’s not a lot of broad, young and smart, crazy, zany characters that you get to play like this. (Cinema Confidential; March 23, 2004)
  • The one thing that being on ER has changed is that I’m more recognizable because it’s the first time where I played someone where I look like her on the street. I could stand next to the poster for Scooby-Doo and nobody would know that it’s me. (Cinema Confidential; March 23, 2004)
