Personal quotes
"[Fame] is also a test of character at times...
Sometimes I pass the test; sometimes I'm a pain in the
a**. Sometimes I'm like, 'Oh, God! I just want to buy
some tampons!'"
"People
say that chivalry is dead, I don't think that it's dead,
I think it's just got the 'flu!"
"It
would be really great if people would realize that stars
are only people with the same weaknesses and flaws,
not immaculate idols."
"As
a mom, I feel like I'm the most boring person in the
universe. I think I should have hobbies or something,
y'know? But I'm a mom, man. That takes up most of my
time."
"One
of the things I liked thinking about was that you are
not punished for your anger; you're punished by your
anger. Somebody said that to me, or I read it. That
there's not some moment when you're going to be called
to task because you've been angry, but your anger itself
is what punishes you, limits your life, and constricts
you."
"I am
just not a romantic.... I am not a sentimental person."
"Love
really is the force that makes the world go round -
but it's a kind of magic, and magic doesn't always make
sense. It's all about balance. You can't be so cynical
that you don't let your heart make decisions, and you
don't want to be so open-hearted that you get hurt.
When you fall in love, it's so weird. It's so illogical.
It's like jumping off a bridge into the unknown."
"I've
been America's sweetheart for much too long. I gladly
pass that mantle on to Sandra Bullock."
"Neither
of us, me nor Dennis, is cavalier about a breakup. We
both behaved very honorably."
