“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.”

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.

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.

It was helpful to have the confidence of youth that came from a lack of desperation. I thought, ‘If I don’t succeed, I’ll go back to school and study.’

There are many sides to me to who I am and my personality. I think the only thing that is rebellious about me is that I don’t really have a lot of fears, as far as film industry is concerned.

Thirty is a very good age for an actor: you can play both young and old men.

The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes. It’s not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.

When you become a celebrity, the world owns you and your image.

If you catch me saying ‘I am a serious actor,’ I beg you to slap me.

My life is too crazy, no actor could play me.

When you think about it, we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love.

Most of all, I want to thank my father, up there, the man who when I said I wanted to be an actor, he said, ‘Wonderful. Just have a back-up profession like welding.’
