“I like to organize. I have an opinion. I like to get stuff done.”

I don’t hang out with the Hollywood cool people. I’m not out trying to make friends with people because they’re famous.

Movies are the shadiest business in the world.

You have to be the best of whatever you are, but successful, cool actresses come in all shapes and sizes.

There’s no such thing as a perfect guy. I think it would be strange if somebody was absolutely everything you always wanted, because then there’d be no challenge. Also, you’d feel inferior.

I really like older British guys – I don’t think any of them would ever have a problem with crying in front of a woman or saying “I love you” or “You hurt me” or emotional stuff like that.

No one gives Cameron Diaz a hard time for not speaking Spanish.

I’m not trying to do stuff for my kids necessarily all the time, but when you get the odd opportunity to do something for them that they could enjoy its cool.

Love is ever evolving and it takes compromise, work and patience.

It’s been liberating to be able to play someone who’s a bada– or promiscuous, because that’s the opposite of who I am … It’s like a drug.

My mind is constantly in five different places, but golf is great because it forces you to focus completely and purely on what you’re doing.

The time I’m not spending with my kid has to be worth it, so when I sat down with my agents after I was ready to go back to work, I told them: It’s all about the directors.

I don’t really have a problem with just wanting sex. Never have. Even when I was a virgin and wanted to marry the first guy who I slept with, I never passed any judgments about that. But now I’m done [with dating around].

I like to cook. I would probably go to culinary school in France if I had time.

Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.

The films I do always have a happy ending. I hope it reflects back to real life.

I actually wanted to be a producer because I like to run things.

No opinion is worth burning your neighbor for.

One man with conviction will overwhelm a hundred who have only opinions.

People with opinions just go around bothering one another.

Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.

Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion.

Opinions are like orgasms, mine matters most and I really don’t care if you have one.

Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth.

Indeed I have always been of the opinion that hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing to do.
