novaleigh · 04-29-2006, 03:58 PM

these are old Michelle quotes, but here ya go

"I never go out without a passport. You never know when somebody will sweep you off your feet and take you away."

"I made lots of mistakes and I learned how to fix them and move forward."

"I'm really drawn to sadness and loneliness, in music and in people."

"In kindergarten I was a bit of a tart. I used to go around lifting my skirt and flashing my panties."

"It was brilliant finally having all this time to myself. I'd dreamt about it for so long and now it was really happening. I was on such a high, it didn't bother me that I hardly knew anyone. I'd done it. In fact I was so proud of everything I'd achieved I kept telling everyone I met: 'I live alone....and I haven't killed myself yet!'"

"Living at home with your parents is a really good deal. I might have a surrogate family with the Dawson's gang, but no-one can replace the real thing."

"I wanted to fight Mike Tyson. I wanted to be the first female heavyweight champion of the world."

"I think that Jen is one of those girls who isn’t easy to make surface judgements about. If you take the opportunity to look past that, you’ll find somebody who’s just as vulnerable and complex as all the rest of the characters on the show."

"All the mistakes, all the good times and bad times have really shaped me and changed me."

"How can you not be passionate about the world that going on around you? It amazes me, shocks me and horrifies me that the kids, teenagers, people my age aren't more curious and aren't more concerned."

"I think its is really rare in this profession that you come across something that has the opportunity to alter somebody's perception, and I would jump at it anytime. I'm absolutely thrilled to have the age group that watches Dawson's Creek have their eyes opened by something that I find to be intellegent, provocative and necessary."

"I was 16 and so uncomfortable with my body. I was not excited about the comments or the photographs that [fame] elicited. I was a mess."

"It's a rotten time to be a girl right now, and the media makes it harder. Every girl who read that book [Prozac Nation] is waiting for the movie. For me, the struggle for health--for mental health--is what makes it so compelling."

"I picked up Jonathan Franzen's book of essays, How to Be Alone, the other day. I was like, 'If you're going to tell me how to be alone, I will definitely pay $15 for your book.'"

[On interviews]''The process is immediately adversarial. You're wondering about my history and my problems, and I'm wondering why you're wondering. I'm not saying that this is your case or that this is my case, but the mythology of the relationship is so strange. The interviewer wants to rip it apart, and the interviewee wants to give less and less and less. But it's under the guise of salad and tea. It's all very funny.''

[On her collection of rare books]"Some are so old, you can't really read them. But I touch them. And I smell them. And I run my hands over them. And I have an affair with them. It's about as interesting as my sex life gets."

"This is my first year being able to vote, and I'm just ********** thrilled. I've been paying taxes since I was 15 and have always been really upset about the fact that I couldn't vote."
"I was extremely nervous the first time I kissed someone on camera. I had never kissed anybody before. It was sweet, perfect, idealistic and everything a first kiss should be."

"I'm a big, big fan of road trips. I take them very seriously. I have the big truck, fuzzy dice, air freshener, road-trip hat and a CB radio."

"The Internet terrifies me! I don't understand it! I have a computer, but it's seldom used. I can't type, and I can't navigate the Web."

"I loved Winnie the Pooh when I was really young. Dirty Dancing was an important part of my youth, too - the whole sexual awakening that happened."

"I wanted to be a boxer at first. I was an exercise fanatic. I really liked boxing and wanted to be the first female heavyweight champion of the world, but then I realized I was never going to be taller than 5'3", and it crushed my dream. Acting isn't sloppy seconds, though. I am really glad to have found it."

all those quotes

**Shadowhunter** · 04-30-2006, 08:21 PM

Michelle

"There was a weird, innate kind of understanding between me and Christina (Ricci). A psychic told us we were sisters in a past life."

"It's strange to watch the film now because it means so much more to me. I met my husband there, the seed of my daughter was born there -- it's just really, really powerful. I had a few fantasies about a husband and a wedding when I was a little girl. But I'm really happy with things just the way they are right now."

"Our love for each other grows. We had a really good relationship [before Matilda]...and we still love, respect and are patient with each other. Even with all the new demands, pressures and challenges we still work really well together and it doesn't break us."

Jen

"When you see Belinda and her clique in the hallway, you're desperately wishing you were walking with them, aren't you? You think that maybe if you were wearing the right shoes, sporting the latest hairstyle, and using the hottest shade of lip gloss, then maybe they'd toss a glance in your direction. Have you ever wondered why they force their narrow minded views down our throats? Maybe it's because they have an inkling about what's in store for them after graduation. Cut to 25 years from now when Belinda McGovern wakes up feeling empty. Maybe it's because her Dartmouth-educated-lawyer-husband Ted has run off to Tijuana with her daughter's roommate from boarding school. Or maybe it's because the twins, Timmy and Tommy, call her by her first name and their live-in housekeeper, Mom. Or maybe it's because of her 2 o'clock, 5 o'clock, 7 o'clock and 9:15 showdown with her bottle of Prozac. Her life has become a domestic wasteland. Avoid this fate. Don't become another cookie cutter, blonde, size 4, rah-rah-sis-bam-boom, mindless, soulless, spineless wench. Screw these auditions. Screw cheerleading. And screw Belinda McGovern."

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that we're not in Capeside anymore, Toto. This is some alternate reality where our intellects are sharper, our quips are wittier and our hearts are repeatedly broken while faintly in the background, some soon to be out of date contempo pop music plays."

"Hi, Amy, it's mom. Well, by the time you see this, I won't be here anymore, and I know how much that sucks, for both of us. So seeing as how I won't be around to thoroughly annoy you, I thought I would give you a little list of the things that I wish for you. Well, there's the obvious. An education. Family. Friends. And a life that is full of the unexpected. Be sure to make mistakes. Make a lot of them, because there's no better way to learn and to grow, all right? And, um, I want you to spend a lot of time at the ocean, because the ocean forces you to dream, and I insist that you, my girl, be a dreamer. God. I've never really believed in god. In fact, I've spent a lot of time and energy trying to disprove that god exists. But I hope that you are able to believe in god, because the thing that I've come to realize, sweetheart... is that it just doesn't matter if god exists or not. The important thing is for you to believe in something, because I promise you that that belief will keep you warm at night, and I want you to feel safe always. And then there's love. I want you to love to the tips of your fingers, and when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it. But you don't have to chase after it either. You just be patient, and it'll come to you, I promise, and when you least expect it, like you, like spending the best year of my life with the sweetest and the smartest and the most beautiful baby girl in the world. You don't be afraid, sweetheart. And remember, to love is to live."

One of my ultimate fave Jen lines

**Shadowhunter** · 05-02-2006, 12:47 AM

It's mine, too. I love how the cheerleaders are clapping after Jen said that and Belinda is sitting with her mouth opened

JENNY_83 · 05-03-2006, 04:22 PM

I love that quote! Will think of some and post later

JENNY_83 · 05-03-2006, 04:23 PM

sorry double post

**BA4eva** · 05-04-2006, 12:23 PM

It was an awesome scene

And i also loved jen's expression when she finds out she;s head cheerleader. So funny

**Shadowhunter** · 05-04-2006, 11:48 PM

Jen: Do you remember when you were ten and your Mom wouldn't get you that candy bar that you really, really wanted? Didn't you ever just... swipe it?
Dawson: No.

Jen: Don't give up on your lost causes, you never know when your luck will change.

Jen: I say witch is just a buzzword. For a girl who happens to follow her completely healthy, totally natural urges, and explore her sexuality. But see, you can't do that in school in the swingin' 1690's without getting the good townsfolk all up in arms. So what do these puritanical, impotent creeps do? Instead of reaching for the Viagra, they brand these girls as witches, they send them off to this godforsaken island to die a horrible solitary death.
Joey: Well, lucky for you, Jen - I mean, we live in a world where you can follow your natural urges without fear of persecution.
Jen: You're right. I would've been so burned at the stake by now.

Dawson: If he did meet somebody else and forgot about her than obviously they were never meant to be in the first place. See my point?
Joey: Could you be any more naive?
Dawson: Could you be any more cynical?
Jen: Could you be any more irritating?

Jen: I wonder if Pacey loves me yet?

Jen: I left home because I couldn't handle being the bad girl anymore. But if being the bad girl means not walking around in a perpetual state loneliness. Than bad girl it is.

[Grams runs into an old boyfriend]
Grams: I thought you were dead.
Jen: Great pick-up line.

Jen: He's evil. There's no other explanation. I mean, isn't it entirely possible that he is in fact the Devil, crammed into the body of a handsome musician.

Jen: What is this feeling? It just seems like everything's getting smaller and smaller. It's all still there, but I just can't touch it.
Jack: I think it's called good-bye.

Which ep is this from?! I don't remember ever watching it...

that whole quote. I heart Jen

That is from season 2's "The Election" when Jen is trying to get Dawson to act like an actual rebel-like teenager. It's also the episode where they went skinny dipping. Yup Yup.

here's are some of my favorite Jen lines....

Jen: Now I know how anthropologists feel when they stumble across one of those lost tribes whose ancient rituals have remained untouched by time.

Jack: What I don't get is why anyone wants to be a cheerleader in the first place?

(Jen considers the thought and gets an idea.)

Jen: There's only one way to find out.

(Jen heads toward the sign up table. She starts to sign up.)

Belinda: Jen, what're you doing?

Jen: Signing up for try-outs.

Belinda: Lemme think about that... NOT!

Jen: You sure, Belinda? Haven't you ever wondered if I've got what it takes to hold the pom-poms?

Jen: The unthinkable has happened.

(Principal Green walks by.)

Principal: Good going, Ms. Lindley.

(Jen smiles.)

Jack: What? You've become popular?

Jen: Worse. Follow me.

(Jen heads to her locker and starts opening it.)

Jen: It was a coup d'etat. A mutiny. A slave revolt. Belinda McGovern has been excommunicated by her brainless bishops.

Jack: Help me out here. I don't think I understand.

Jen: (She shows him the pom poms) They're the golden ones. With the rhinestone-studded handles.

Jack: Don't tell me they made you a cheerleader?

Jen: Oh, no.

Jack: Thank God.

Jen: They made me Head Cheerleader.

Jack: That's cool.

Jen: I've tried. Believe me, I've tried. Do you think I want to be held responsible for killing off the last vestiges of Capeside's school spirit? I mean, ever since they elected me leader of their little junta, all they've wanted to do are these nasty, sardonic, self-aware cheers. What's worse is they've even started to dress like me. It's like they're genetically predisposed to having any unique identity.

Jack: That's a blonde gene.

Jen: Not funny.

Jen: Dawson? Praytell condoms? (Dawson grabs them away.) Sorry it's just in the list of things I'd expect to find in your bag, condoms fall somewhere in between nuclear plans and crack cocaine. Curiosity begs, who is the lucky girl?

Dawson: Privacy begs I ignore you.

Jen: Ever since Philly, somebody's been whistling a very different tune.

Dawson: It's the Dawson Leery for the new millenium. The guy who's not afraid to use the words "good" and "time" in close proximity.

Jen: Well, Dawson 2000, are you ready for this good time? And I don't mean in a Trojan kind of way.

Dawson: What do you mean?

Jen: Sex isn't a one way street. There are going to be some expectations where you're concerned.

Dawson: Okay... any hot tips?

Jen: I thought that you'd never ask. It's all about one word, Dawson: pace. Now, most virgins either go too slow or too fast. Which one do you think you are?

Dawson: How would I know?

Jen: Let's say that you have an ice cream sundae right in front of you and you have no spoon. Now, it's a hundred degrees out and you're starving. Now, do you lick the ice cream or do you bite right in?

Dawson: Bite right in.

Jen: Too fast. See, first you have to watch the sundae, admire the sundae, then, just before it's about to drip, you let your lips lick around the exterior, savoring every inch. You want that sundae to last a long time... but not too long, because then the sundae ends up all over the table instead of in your mouth. But Dawson, if you remember one thing, let it be this... If you don't get the whipped cream all over your face, you're not doing it right. You see what I'm saying?

The last one is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE JEN LINE EVER!
