Personal quotes
"I'm not after fame and success and fortune and
power. It's mostly [that I want] to have a good job
and have good friends; that's the good stuff in life."
"I know
certain actors are totally screwed up on drugs, yet
it gets covered up. Why wasn't I excused for 'exhaustion'
or 'the flu'?"
"There's
something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass
yourself. Risk."
"If
I ever start talking to you about my 'craft', my 'instrument',
you have permission to shoot me."
"I believe
in fate. I believe that everything happens for a reason,
but I think it's important to seek out that reason -
that's how you learn."
"I believe
you can be the person that you dream of being."
"I try
to make movies that I would want to go see rather than
ones I would just want to do as an actor. I want people
to have movies full of romance and hope and empowerment,
something they can escape into and feel good about.
I love happy endings." -- on her favorite movies
to make."
"I believe
in fate. If I die before my cat, I want a little of
my ashes put in his food so I can live inside him."
"I think
that whatever scares you is exactly where you should
go because safe and comfortable means you've already
done it."
"There's
a hunger and fervor that I have, but there's no person
I'm going to push to the side to get where I'm going.
I want to create my own road."
"Don't
put your negative energy on someone you love. That's
not fair at all. I just say, above all, be kind, open,
funny."
"I pray
to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves
at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather
than the highs and the lows."
"God
made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous;
why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs
work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my
body is shaped."
"You
act differently when you're alone; that's when you're
in your truest state."
"If
you're going to be alive and on this planet, you have
to, like, suck the marrow out of every day and get the
most out of it."
