Big Love Quotes
- Bill Paxton on his role: "“Well, having three wives wasn’t bad for my virility factor. Let me rephrase that - having three sirens to chase around is pretty great. I’ve never gotten to mix it up with the ladies as much as some of my contemporary acting friends. I always wanted to. I always kind of thought I could do some romantic stuff and in this it’s like I won a triple bet. I have three love stories and they are all love stories. Each one of them is kind of sweet.”" BuddyTV
- Ginnifer Goodwin after seeing footage polygamist compound raid footage: "My character does not come from that world,...She's married into a family who come from that world but are no longer a part of it. My clothes on the show are a little outdated, not my personal taste, but certainly not 'compound chic'." People Magazine
