“When I do get pregnant, I highly doubt I’ll be one of those women who don’t look pregnant from behind – I’ll be that chick who looks pregnant from her ankles up!”

I just like to shake things up, and your hair is one way to do it.

I was putting so much time and energy into just my work, but I was raised to believe that family comes first.

I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.

I don’t want to be the person digging my own grave.

I’m the most uncoordinated clumsy, klutzy person. I always had a bruise, I always tripped and fell.

I can’t cultivate a relationship with my child if it’s between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized, ‘This is not going to work.’ It will work some of the year, but not 12 months a year.

I don’t make big grand gestures, generally.

The world is still very bigoted.

My mother is a realist, and she’s had biological and adoptive children, and she said it’s no different: No matter what, they’re putting a stranger into your arms. You don’t know them yet.

I love playing a smart, ambitious, talented woman. Who doesn’t? That’s really fun for me.

I dreamed about these moments, and I think I hoped I would have them, but you don’t know. So when the lucky break hits, it’s like being Cinderella and hopefully midnight doesn’t come.

When I see some of the people who are glorified in magazines these days – who are so thin it’s bordering on sickness – I just feel exhausted.

I never would rule out a great character or a great story. I don’t care what the forum is. If I get to tell a story that I’m excited about, I’m in.

I totally wouldn’t mind being able to wave my hand head to toe and have, like, a whole new outfit.

I think a lot of women innately know how to play their hand. I’m not a big one for the rules.

I’m never satisfied with the way I look.

When in this world a man comes forward with a thought, a deed, a vision, we ask not how does he look, but what is his message? The world still wants to ask that a woman primarily be pretty.

Jewelry is incredibly feminine, and reflects the grace and beauty of a women’s style like nothing else.

I make things of my own that aren’t that glam, but I’m not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.

If you wear a short enough skirt, the party will come to you.

The Monte Carlo casino refused to admit me until I was properly dressed so I went and found my stockings, and then came back and lost my shirt.

You are not the car you drive.

I’ve been into fashion since birth. I grew up in the ‘hood, and everybody in the ‘hood wants to compensate for being in poverty, so they want to look good to keep themselves up.

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
