“In human years I am 29. In actress years I’m the ripe, promising age of 18 to 35. That’s how it works here in Hollywood.”

Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.

You realize when you’re pregnant how lucky you are to have access to medical care.

From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.

Obviously, local elections are where you can make the most difference, but it’s great when everyone starts talking about what they believe in.

But even if I’m left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling.

I’m pretty low-key; you’ll often find me in jeans, a T-shirt and sweatshirt.

In a relationship I’m a very loving person, emotional and sensitive.

I feel like fashion should not happen in the morning.

It’s so important to have that independence. You know it yourself: Everyone needs evenings of their own.

It would be so depressing to be a model and not get to say a word. There’s no personality involved.

I’m a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette. I feel like people treat me now how I should be treated. People used to be shocked, when I was blond, that I wasn’t stupid.

My parents were journalists and friends with writers, artists, and just a really interesting assortment of people, so I was exposed to all lifestyles from a young age.

I fell in love with theater there, and after graduation I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

My parents said marrying was an optimistic thing to do in pessimistic times.

If I have to draw attention away from some hormone-induced acne on my chin, I put on a lot of mascara.

I guess for my skin, I clean it and moisturize and try to drink water. How boring is this though? I’m convinced that it comes from within. If you’re happy and healthy, it shows.

I could always sing, from a really young age, but my voice was really weird. I used to make my mum turn up the radio every day in our house. She was well into music so I got that from her.

I look back and say, “This must have been somebody else.” I am not going to tell you that when I was 4, I dreamed about all of this.

No matter your age, stage of life, or circumstances, don’t forget to dare to dream with God. You don’t have to figure anything out. Just keep saying yes to Him, in big ways and small, and watch what He does.

The secret of a good old age is simply an honorable pact with solitude.

Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody; forty years learning he was nobody; and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.

I feel I can still do the same job as I did 10 years ago – I’ve just got a few more wrinkles!

Guys are kind of retarded until they’re about 30.

In an age so connected why do I feel so far apart?
