“It’s lame to say that I’m a normal girl, but I think I am.”

I’m done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn’t seem like any fun.

My mother often says that she could never have done it if I had been the youngest, if she had other small children she had to cart around New York City for my auditions and go-sees (modeling auditions) and stuff.

Guys are much more obvious than they think they are.

My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her about three years before I was born and that is how I grew up.

I’m terrible with patience.

Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it’s better, and in a lot of ways it’s worse. That’s life, right?

My career is really important to me, but there have to be other great, important things in your life besides work.

I keep kind of making certain mistakes in public appearances over and over again.

I was the youngest child and really spoiled. I loved to play make-believe. I loved pretending to be all kinds of different people and it just seemed natural that I would go into acting.

I think that everybody has a right to their own thoughts, their own feelings and their own private moments, if they want them.

I’m a sappy mom now. I didn’t think I would be. I thought I’d be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.

Kids are a huge sacrifice; they change everything – but I’m ready to work for things of greater importance than going out to meet someone for dinner at 10 o’clock at night.

If I have to be focused and watch what I say, then I have to be comfortable.

In my career, I’m very grateful for the opportunities.

There are some things that, if you say them out loud, will hurt the other person’s feelings. I tend to say them anyway. It’s better to be honest.

Hollywood likes to label everyone so you’re easier to identify.

A boy spends his time finding a girl to sleep with. A real man spends his time looking for the one worth waking up to.

It’s rare for anyone to value the opinions of a teenage girl.

A wise girl knows her limits, a smart girl knows that she has none.

She’s the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.

The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated.

Boys think girls are like books, If the cover doesn’t catch their eye they won’t bother to read what’s inside.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.
