“The only time I’ve ever gone against my instincts, I’ve regretted it. It was only really one time.”

Some great friendships can be formed because you see one another at your best and worst.

You have to be smart enough not to dismiss where you came from. It may not be all we are, but it makes up for a great deal.

Part of the reason why some of the relationships I’ve had in my past worked for so long is because when you’re making movies, a huge gap of time can pass when you don’t even see the person.

I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.

I try to call my mother, Betty, with more regularity because I think, What if Hazel didn’t call me for two weeks? I’m able to see her mothering now from a different vantage point.~

How lucky we are that we love each other so much that we burst into three pieces.

It’s funny when people say, ‘I don’t think Julia likes me.’ Honey, if I don’t like you, you’re going to know about it.

In case I forget to tell you later, I had a really good time tonight.

We’ve all been broken at some point. Forgiving ourselves or another person helps us move forward.

People don’t want to see me having sex. I’m the queen of the ‘kiss, foreplay, dissolve.’ And then the ‘Whoo! Good morning, tiger.

Whats nice about my dating life is that I dont have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: Im marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day.

Some people are antagonized by the truth.

You know when people are stupid, it frustrates me.

Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.

I guess when all is said and done, if there is one last commentary on me, I would want it to be said that I participated in my life. I was a full participant.

If you love someone, you say it, right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just passes you by.
