Quote

When I first went to Europe, I thought I was going to move there. I was making plans to move to the south of Spain. It's such a cute, innocent thought. I think we all go through it.

I think being a woman in Hollywood is a big enough challenge. It really is. I don't want to be one of those people who complain. But the lack of roles out there - it's unbelievable.

The careers that I admire and actually try to emulate are those of Julianne Moore and Annette Bening. Those women, to me, make amazing choices. They're sexy, beautiful women, but that doesn't dictate their choices.

I'm an actress. To be honest, it's a very awkward business. It's one of those things where it's almost like a first date. There's a way you want to come across. You want to show your goods. The truth starts to slip out sometimes.

I do think once I get into expectations, I've just trained myself. I've just trained myself to just move on to the next.

I love having a man in my life, and being his woman at the end of the day. I know it's a dichotomy.

I really like nice forearms - nice strong hands and forearms. I love that because then they can wear a watch really well.

I want my mother to think - she's a tough fashion critic.

It's fun to be a woman. It's fun to flirt and wear makeup and have boobs.

I still go to acting class. I love the craft. It's just so much fun for me, and I'm always a student.

But I've never felt objectified. Nothing you see me do is an accident.

It's the scariest thing in the world, going to acting class, because first of all, there's a lot of pressure. I just go back to being that fourth grader who couldn't, like, sit still in her seat.

That's the beauty of being an actress, is that you hopefully get to have different roles and really stretch yourself. This is really what I've been working for a while. I've been in the business for a minute, and it's an opportunity like this that I've been really working towards.

I'm a modern woman in the sense of I take care of myself, I'm fiercely independent, and I'm really ambitious. Yet I have these old-school thoughts in my mind.

I talk about therapy a lot because I love therapy. It has just enriched my life.

I listen to [customers] and we make adjustments because we pretty much average a collection every six weeks. We're constantly taking everything in and taking notes.

When people write lies about you, and you know that they are lies, that means that they don't know the truth, so that's OK with me. If something true came out, I would have to check my circle to see who's talking and possibly make an apology phone call to my parents!

Because celebrities' lives are so visible, I think it makes it look lighter than it is.

I have full faith in people. I think that we have the ability to change. We're habitual creatures. Once we figure out that bad habit and identify it, whether it's behavioral or whatever it may be, we change our habits. Obviously, I'm simplifying it and making it sound very easy to do, and we all know it's very difficult, but it's doable.

I've learned that it's way harder to be a baby. Everything is a struggle for her. For instance, I haven't thrown up since the '90s and she's thrown up twice since we started this interview. Motherhood is cake compared to what it's like to be a baby.

I'm a trained actress and I can do it, but I think that you have to prove yourself
