Mary Louise Parker says is quitting acting because Twitter culture is too "mean-spirited." The "Weeds" star says it's such a buzz kill that she's "almost done acting." Mary-Louise Parker isn't quitting acting just yet. The gorgeous brunette will appear in in two upcoming movies: "R.I.P.D." and "Red 2" as well act in her long-running premium cable series "Weeds."

Parker loves the work, but  the mean comments that she gets on the Internet are just too overwhelming to continue acting. The 48-year-old actress admitted that she is too thin-skinned for the increasingly mean world of entertainment.

Mary-Louise Parker said plans to quit acting while she was promoting "R.I.P.D." on Australian television. She revealed that she's just "not really that into it anymore. I don't know how many more movies I wanna do. I wouldn't mind doing a TV show again, I'd like to do a

Parker said "The world has gotten too mean for me, it's just too bitchy. All the websites and all the blogging and all the people giving their opinion and their hatred ... it's all so mean-spirited, it's all so critical. It's sport for people, 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, I dunno."

Mary Louise Parker is also thinking about retiring from acting because she wants to protect her children from the "mean culture" of internet "bitchiness" and "meanness." Parker is mother to a nine-year-old boy and six-year-old girl. She said "I don't know if you can imagine a friend sending you something they thought was funny, that was something mean someone wrote about you and there's like 50 comments from complete strangers across the world about you - and you can say 'Oh I let it roll off my back' and 'I wouldn't take it personally', but you have no idea until it happens to you. It doesn't feel nice. And there's more of that than there is whatever praise people think you're getting. There's way more mean-spiritedness. I stay away from it as best I can because I'm too thin-skinned, but still it finds you."

Parker, who acted in such films as "Fried Green Tomatoes" and "Red Dragon" and in the Aaronn Sorkin TV series "The West Wing, said culture has changed. She said "It's a mean culture. It's reality TV and it's watching people suffer and watching people humiliate themselves. It's little girls in pageants and housewives and plastic surgery and people in rehab. It just feels like a very ugly ... it's like someone just lifted up a rock and that's all we're looking at."

Parker was born in South Carolina and has been acting since she was young. She won Golden Globe, Emmy and Tony awards. Parker is one of the few actresses over 40, who says admits her career improved when she hit her late thirties and early forties. For the past eight seasons, from 2005 to 2012, she has been playing a pot-dealing single on "Weeds."

When she was asked what she might do if she left acting, Parker said "I would write, still. I write for Esquire (magazine) and writing makes me happy. I would take care of my kids and my goats. That's about it. Bake. Throw my internet in the lake."

For someone on the verge of quitting acting, Parker is keeping herself pretty busy. She is set to perform on Broadway in the play "The Snow Geese" in October. She will reteam with Bruce Willis and John Malkovich in "Red 2," and in "R.I.P.D." which opens on September 12.

Parker said "It's only started happening to me recently that I've felt weary of it all, so I dunno. There's another play I wanna do after (The Snow Geese) and I wouldn't mind doing a couple more years of a TV show, but after that not much more."
