My mom, who was a constant fixture at work with me until I was 18 years old, did an amazing job filtering out all the things a kid didn’t need to see or hear on film sets. So, acting was just a fun, breezy, extracurricular activity for me. Kellie Martin Read Quote

At college – I went to Yale, and everybody’s very smart, and everybody has their thing that makes them special, and people at Yale would pretend they didn’t recognize me. Only after they’d had a couple of drinks would they start singing the ‘Life Goes On’ theme song. Kellie Martin Read Quote
I’m not a movie star, but I’ve been an actress forever, and the first time I went on a date with my husband, he said to me, ‘So I hear you’re an actress. I’ve never seen anything you’ve done.’ We were like, oh gosh, 21 when I met him, and I laughed, because I’d done ‘Life Goes On,’ and ‘Christy,’ and I mean, I’d been working forever.

We go to Montana every year – that’s where my husband is from – Flathead Lake, Montana, which is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to in my life. It’s amazing that his entire family lives there. There’s waterskiing, jet skiing, and kayaking, and it’s just really fun. Kellie Martin Read Quote
I think the takeaway is ‘The Guest Book’ is incredibly unexpected in every way. I know, when I was reading the script, I was surprised with every page turn. It’s kind of an anthology, and it really pushed the envelope. It’s a risk-taking show, and it’s just a lot of fun. Kellie Martin Read Quote
Christy’ is worth staying out of college for because I believe in the show. I wouldn’t stay out of college for many other shows. Kellie Martin Read Quote
I was in this sheltered little environment where, basically, all my high school experience was in ‘Life Goes On,’ and everyone told me where to go, what to do, how to think – I never had to do anything for myself. Kellie Martin Read Quote
It’s an extraordinary thing to do, to go into the military and to serve your country. Kellie Martin Read Quote
