“It’s amazing what can happen if you just put your arm around somebody. It’s the truest thing and the simplest thing that does the most good a lot of times and I hope that we can all just reach out to each other.”

If you’re at the sink washing the cup, wash the cup. Don’t worry about everything else. We forget to appreciate the simplest moments of the day, the sublime in the ordinary.

I don’t get angry very often. I lose my temper rarely. And when I do, there’s always a legitimate cause. Normally I have a great lightness of being. I take things in a very happy, amused way.

You know it’s love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not part of their happiness.

You never know how stylish a movie is going to be and I think this movie has a great sense of style. The way that it is shot and our costumes and everything, it was just terrific.

If all you have to offer is a look that is supposed to be appealing, the you are going to be paid attention to about a tenth as long as you would be if when you speak you are interesting.

If your friends won’t tell you the truth, who will?

I don’t think fame changes people. People change as they gather more experiences and information about life.

On my best day, I am a seven-point-seven. I could be a hard eight if I felt great. If I went on a good run and had on my best pair of jeans, I could feel right on the money.

I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn’t matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.

Usually the triumph of my day is, you know, everybody making it to the potty.

Don’t forget I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.

I can’t wait to have kids; I just can’t wait to hold a baby in my arms.

I don’t think I realized that the cost of fame is that it’s open season on every moment of your life.

My real hair color is kind of a dark blonde. Now I just have mood hair.

Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you’re younger. But I haven’t abandoned the genre: I love falling down; I love Lucille Ball. It’s just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can’t convincingly portray at this age.

I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them.
