If Patricia Clarkson were to look at my life choices, she would likely deliver a dry, withering remark that would make me rethink my entire existence.

I told my therapist I wanted to be more confident, and she told me to just channel my inner Patricia Clarkson, so now I stare blankly at my bills until they disappear.

There is a specific level of elegance that only Patricia Clarkson achieves, usually while surrounded by shadows and sharp dialogue that I definitely don't understand.
