“There’s something tangible about the essence of the city. You can taste and smell it.”

I don’t really need a personal trainer or watch what I eat. I can’t start the day without a hot chocolate or finish it without a few squares of dark chocolate. It’s good for my mood!

When I’m playing a character, I don’t wear perfume.

I’ve been so lucky to work with such great people: people that are such hard workers and have such a respect and appreciation for one another.

I feel a lot. I get really bad stomachaches all the time. So I went to a doctor, and he said, ‘You’re a feeler.’ I take on people’s pain a little too much.

When I was a child, I probably should have been medicated about my obsession with The Spice Girls.

The New York that Frank Sinatra sang about, people will never know that place. The New Orleans that Louis Armstrong sang about is the New Orleans that’s still there – it’s preserved.

Christmas for me is all about spending time with my family. I cherish any chance we have to spend all day together making gingerbread houses, baking cookies, or sitting around and watching movies.

After my first year on ‘Gossip Girl,’ everybody said, ‘You’ve got to do a big commercial movie, ride this wave.’

I think I became my own stylist by not knowing any better.

They point out flaws in other people to make them feel good about themselves. I think at any age or any social class, that’s present.

My whole family’s been in the business. My whole family is crazy.

Honestly, I am a shy person.

People say, ‘Well, whose career do you follow? Where do you see your career going? What movie do you want to do next?’ And I can’t tell you what type of movie I would go and do next.

I had a premonition when I was nine that I’d marry Leonardo DiCaprio.

I want babies. Lots of babies. Of course!

I always loved fashion.

I run New York City!

A win tonight is the minimum City must achieve

New York waiters, probably the surliest in the Western world . . . are better images of their city than that journalistic favorite the taxi driver.

Edinburgh is an experience A city of enormous gifts Whose streets sing of history Whose cobbles tell tales.

I can attest to the fact that sexual orientation is not immutable and I urge the city council to vote no on this amendment.

Eventually there are going to be cities in space.

I loathe crowds. I especially dont like cities.

Cities all over the world are getting bigger as more and more people move from rural to urban sites, but that has created enormous problems with respect to environmental pollution and the general quality of life.
