Actor Quote by Kate Mara
“Of course any actor is going to be happy to be nominated for an Oscar - absolutely - but I don't really think of it in that way. I've never really thought of my job in that way, because that's just a lot of pressure to be working towards one goal. I'm much more interested in finding roles that make me feel happy about going to work every day.”

![“We don't ask for opinions on our outfit all the time - but for a big of event, like the Emmys, absolutely. I actually sent my sister a picture of the [J Mendel] dress I wore to the Emmys before I chose it, and she was obsessed. She was like, "Oh, I want that." And I said, "Let me wear it first!"” quote by Kate Mara](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3d8/kate-mara-16974_asks_we-don-t-ask-for-opinions-on-our-outfit_330475.jpg)
