People gossip. People are insecure, so they talk about other people so that they won't be talked about. They point out flaws in other people to make them feel good about themselves.

I've never worked with an acting coach, but my parents had acting classes and I grew up around them my whole life just because I didn't have a babysitter.

Image
I didn't have an agent. I would just write down that I was with my brother's agency, and then the agency would get calls and say that they had no idea who I was.

Image
With acting, I think half of it is just acting confident. We stand on these red carpets and pose in these dresses, but we're all only so confident. It doesn't mean we think we're great looking or anything. It's all a façade.

I never think about how other people will respond to the way I dress.

I love scuba diving. I'm an avid diver. And, there's this beautiful world that's more incredible than any CGI film we could ever make, that we're destroying, for what? It's heartbreaking to me.

When I was a kid people always asked why I didn't act like the rest of my family, and parents would say, Well, she needs a childhood! We would never allow her to do that even if she wanted to. They were as involved in my life as any parents are in any person's life.

Cheesecake Factory is great. It should have Michelin stars.

Image
I feel like all I've done lately is play really sexually-charged drug addicts. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've gotta go to Disneyland more and get more excitement.

Image
For me, I really feel like a character when I look like them.
Blake Lively
Image
When I have bad days, I just eat lots of chocolate ice cream and dance to the Lion King soundtrack. It's really odd, but it's true.
Blake Lively
Image
I think if you're going to get a tattoo, it should be significant, especially when it's all the way up your arms and your body.
Blake Lively
Image
I feel like there are so many people I admire for so many reasons that I can't look at one person's life and say, I want that life. I want to make my own history.
Blake Lively
Image
Dressing up is all about reflecting how I feel.

Image
I think in high school there's so many cliques. You're never safe.

Image
I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 17. There were boys at school that I would find out later had a crush on me but I was too shy to talk to them.
Blake Lively
Image
I actually think that craft service was the reason I got into acting: the free food. I literally remember on my first job being like, Yes! I get to have craft service every day!
Blake Lively
Image
I have a strong sense of myself. That gives me a sense of security. If I define myself by things that are always changing, like the public's opinion or what I'm wearing or what job I'm doing, there's no stability in that.
