I don't care how smart a kid you are. The only way you learn what's not right is from experience.

The British are so incestuous. They pass around partners like they're passing popcorn at a movie.

I've banged my head quite a bit. I liked Iron Maiden, Ozzy, AC/DC. And of course, Ratt and Poison.

One of the great things about being an actor is that you do get to indulge in someone else's life.

I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs.

I think that women are afraid to say they don't want children because they're going to get shunned.

You never know what movie I will be in next, but let's just hope it's sells (for my sake at least)!

What we women need to do, instead of worrying about what we don't have, is just love what we do have.

To me, that's the wealth of my life: my friends and family and the experience I get to share with them.

Sometimes I enjoy talking, but when it's like people are trying to find something out about me, I don't.

If you really want to torture me, sit me in a room strapped to a chair and put Mariah Carey's records on.

I'm a salty, greasy girl. I give every french fry a fair chance. Could you just lay some lard in my belly?

I believe in fate and what's meant to be mine will be mine, and if it's not in my lap, then it's not mine.

There's a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified, and I think it's healthy.

Picking projects, it's always director first and then script. Those two things are pretty much head-to-head.

French fries. I love them. Some people are chocolate and sweets people. I love French fries. That and caviar.

I don't want to go to work and get into bed with someone else, not even Tom Cruise. It's not like I enjoy it.

Script for an actor is like a bible. You carry it with you, you read it over and over, you go to your passages.

I have always had the same New Year resolutions: To stop smoking, to start wearing a bra, and to stop shopping.

It's important to be active in the causes that are important to you... That's how we make changes in this world.

You don't want to be photographed? You don't want to be known? Then you don't need to be out there peddling movies.

I believe there are many soul mates, because my soul has a lot of different facets and it needs a lot of different.

I think story-telling is innate in human beings, it's something that we've done since we scrawled across cave walls.

People think I'm trying to make a fashion statement because I never wear a bra. It's really that I'm a tomboy at heart.

I haven't been worried about my image so much as I have been trying to find projects to push myself further than before.

I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended...The bag was a purchase I made as a tourist in China.

I'm honestly so grateful to have a job when I get a job, I'm always amazed - I just appreciate what I have when I get it.

I'm someone who loves to enjoy life and tries to focus on real things and real friendships. That's why I live very simply.

Growing up, I was the plain one. I had no style. I was the tough kid with the comb in the back pocket and the feathered hair.

It's such a commitment, making a film, you're really dedicated, it's your life, that's all you do for that period of your life.

It's really important in our society to tell stories, and I feel grateful and honoured that I get to do that in this day and age.

I was a tough kid with the jeans, the concert shirt with the flannel over it, the comb in the back pocket and the feathered hair.

What drives me is what I'm putting out into the world, and I like to make films that people can connect to, or they can escape in.

I'm not ashamed of being a bubbly, funny person. I think that's as valid as being the dark, brooding, tortured Oscar-nominated one.

I have to remind my dad, 'Journalists - no matter how many cigars they smoke with you - are not your friends, so don't talk to them.'

Believe me, you can get into a lot of trouble being sixteen years old in a foreign country with no adult telling you when to come home.

I know that in my life my girlfriends are one of the most important relationships I have going through the good times and the bad times.

My dad always used to tell me that if they challenge you to an after-school fight, tell them you won't wait-you can kick their ass right now.

I love to cry. It's such a great release. If I'm just tired - jetlagged, I didn't get any sleep, I want to cry. I think it's important to cry.

There's something about moonlight on the body and things happening sort of free and open. Outdoors is something I'm totally game and down for.

I have gratitude. I know myself better. I feel more capable than ever. And as far as the physicality of it, I feel better at 40 than I did at 25.

I'm not looking for a husband or marriage or not not looking for that stuff. I'm living, not thinking what I should or shouldn't be doing with my life.

Acting allows me to tell a lot of stories, you know start at the beginning, finish at the end, and tell everything in between. Modelling is just an image.

I hate committing myself to anything. It's probably the lack of discipline, honestly. I'm probably a spoiled brat worried about getting my way every time.

I read a quote the other day that said comparison is a brutal assault upon one's self. And what happens is that you're saying that you're not good enough.

I can't say this enough, I'm totally comfortable with my body. I like my body, I don't think it's a bad thing, I think I have a nice body, I'm happy with it.

Whatever success people have in a field, it's a result of hard work. If you ultimately succeed in one place, you must have worked hard there or somewhere else.

I think we have to make our own rules. I don't think we should live our lives in relationships based off of old traditions that don't suit our world any longer.

I make films for myself, first and foremost, just because it is such a personal experience, and it's something I really have to want to do and feel connected to.

Comparison is a brutal assault upon one's self. Once you compare yourself to someone else, what you're really saying is that what you're made of isn't good enough.
