“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.”

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.

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!

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

I always loved fashion.

The true Mason never hesitates to use the working tools to correct personal flaws.

The true Mason is ever vigilant for subtle traces of character and personality flaws which daily experience brings out.

My most serious character flaw is that I don’t deny myself much.

I do think the patriotic thing to do is to critique my country. How else do you make a country better but by pointing out its flaws?

Your imperfections make you perfect.

Judge not for your flaws, but for your Triumphs!

I want you to love me for me so that all my flaws stitch together and make me whole.

She was only a collection of flaws and she was beautiful.
