“It’s really attractive if a man has a skill that you want to improve in yourself. If you can learn from someone, then that’s sexy.”

With fame comes opportunity, but in my opinion, it also includes responsibility – to advocate and share, to focus less on glass slippers and more on pushing through glass ceilings and, if I’m lucky enough, then to inspire.

I think you have to make time for yourself so that work doesn’t become the end-all be-all.

I think my dad always saw how happy I was on set.

Another solid run through Central Park. Admittedly, six miles turns out to be a bad idea after a full day in heels!

When I was 13 years old, my mom had me start getting facials in my hometown of Los Angeles.

I’m deeply and passionately involved in the design process. I’m a brash American, and if my name is going to be on something, I’m going to have my say.

The best job a man could have would be a chef. They’d understand the long hours I work and the drive and ambition it takes to succeed.

Definitely working on ‘Deal or No Deal’ was a learning experience, and it helped me to understand what I would rather be doing.

Fragrance is my favorite thing. So much so that if I leave the house and I don’t put any on, I’ll turn around and go back home.

I went to an all-girls’ Catholic school for, like, six years during the time when kids actually had handwriting class. I’ve always had a propensity for getting the cursive down pretty well.

When I’m traveling, I won’t miss an opportunity to try great pasta.

My God, I think about way back in the day when we were running around in Mary Janes and Doc Martens, that whole 90210-inspired look. I’m glad that’s long gone.

The holidays are a time to – not quite play it safe – but play it classic. You don’t want to be the girl in a head-to-toe sequin look, where you look like you should be an ornament on the tree.

I’ve always shopped on the sale rack, and I’ve always been the girl flipping through the hangers trying to find the best deal.

I would love to do anything from a really gritty, interesting, indie type film, to that commercial, bigger stuff.

Be kind to yourself.

Anyone who is funny and doesn’t take herself to seriously is attractive to me

We have to render Islamist extremism as unattractive as communism has become today.

Intelligence makes even the ugly look attractive.

A busy, vibrant, goal-oriented woman is so much more attractive than a woman who waits around for a man to validate her existence.

You must be ready to give up even the most attractive ideas when experiment shows them to be wrong.

All I want to do is to make movies that are appealing to people.

God does not love sinners because they are attractive; sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.

Men become much more attractive when they start looking older. But it doesn’t do much for women, though we do have an advantage: make-up.
