Mary-Louise Parker, who starred in the Showtime series Weeds for eight seasons, announced that she would likely be quitting acting soon.

"I'm not really that into it anymore," Parker admitted to News Corp Australia recently. "I don't know how many more movies I want to do. I wouldn't mind doing a TV show again. I'd like to do a couple more plays, but I'm almost done acting, I think."

The 48-year-old actress, whose new films Red 2 and R.I.P.D. open Friday, said that the world has gotten "too mean" and "b----y" for her, especially with bloggers giving hateful opinions. "It's all so mean-spirited, it's all so critical," she explained.

Parker suggested that it was more of the world around her than her actual career as an actress that would cause her to quit.

"It's sport for people," she said, referring to hateful Internet comments. "It's fun to get on at night and unleash their own self-loathing by attacking someone else who they think has a happier life or something"

When asked what she would do after quitting her acting career, Parker said that she wanted to keep writing because it makes her happy. She also said that she would "take care of my kids and my goats."

"That's about it. Bake. Throw my internet in the lake," she quipped.

Despite her claims, Parker still has two new movies coming out in 2013, Jamesy Boy and Behaving Badly. She is also going to be in a Broadway play called The Snow Geese starting in October.

Parker has won two Golden Globes, an Emmy and a Tony over the course of her 25-year acting career. She was awarded for her work in the television miniseries Angels in America in addition to her starring role in Weeds. She won the Tony in 2000 for Best Performance by a Lead Actress in a Play for Proof.
