Quote

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 think for a lot of people, acting becomes a lifestyle, especially when you're living in Los Angeles.
Blake Lively
Image
One of the very few things that I do every single day is put on fragrance. If I'm not wearing makeup ... I still put my fragrance on. I will brush my teeth and put on my perfume.
Blake Lively
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.

Dressing up is all about reflecting how I feel.

Nobody's going to fight for you as much as you fight for yourself.

The idea that a child doesn't have the opportunity to be a child is devastating.

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.

If i'm not with somebody who really excites or inspires me, then I'd rather be by myself.

Image
The most powerful thing is for women not just to be the beneficiaries of the change, but to be agents of it.
Blake Lively
Image
I did not want to be an actor because my whole family did it-going into the family business was the last thing I wanted to do.
Blake Lively
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.
Blake Lively
Image
For me, I really feel like a character when I look like them.
Blake Lively
Image
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.
Blake Lively
Image
There are looks that I see on other people that I think would look horrible on me, but I think if somebody has the courage to be really daring and try something outlandish, then more power to them. Thats just encouraging and inspiring.
Blake Lively
Image
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.
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.
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.

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.

Image
I love being at home and cooking and baking.

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