“Once you become a mother, you always have a guilt trip. You always try to do the best, but you feel you can always be better.”

I’m a person who loves people. It’s all about the vibe of the environment I’m working in.

I always tell myself that it is very, very important for me to be a good role model for Alma, my daughter.

I’m very open to all different genres because I’m a very open-minded girl.

The people who work in the fashion industry and the people who work in the film industry have a lot in common. They’re very creative. Their eye is very aesthetic.

In real life I’m the type of girl who doesn’t take herself too seriously. I’m very serious when it comes to work, but I like to make jokes and have a good laugh and make fun of myself.

When you play a character, you bring yourself into the character. You get a chance to shine and show your translation for the character and her state of mind.

I’ve never experienced a bad situation with men being sexist with me. I’ve been very lucky – even when I was just starting and modeling in Milan and Paris.

I’m a goofy girl. I like to laugh and I like to make other people laugh.

I didn’t want to do the obvious role that you see in Hollywood most of the time, which is the heartbroken girl who’s waiting to be rescued by the guy, blah, blah, blah. I wanted to do something different.

I do cardio, but I don’t like it as much. I’d rather do weights.

By the way, Wonder Woman is Amazonian, and historically accurate Amazonian women actually had only one breast. So, if I’d really go ‘by the book’ it’d be problematic.

For me especially, I travel a lot, and with the weather change and everything, my skin gets dehydrated very fast.

I wish we had more female writers. Most of the female characters you see in films today are ‘the poor heartbroken girl.’ That’s why I’m so proud of the Fast movies. I feel like Giselle is an empowering woman.

I just keep active – everything thats challenging me, everything that I feel like doing.

I try to eat healthy. But sometimes, though, I eat cheeseburgers. Thats good for the soul. I make sure to balance everything out. I drink tons of water.

I wanted to show that women are empowered and strong, and don’t have to be saved by some male hero, but they can take care of themselves using their intelligence and their power.

The best work happens when you know that it’s not just work, but something that will improve other people’s lives.

Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication.

What destroys us most effectively is not a malign fate but our own capacity for self-deception and for degrading our own best self.

Of all the home remedies, a good wife is best.

We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all, we’re not savages. We’re English, and the English are best at everything.

I learned that i was either crazy in love with you, or putting on the best performance of my life.’ -nora (pg 263)

What I love best in life is new starts.

A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.
