Jamie Lee Curtis
You'll never see me in the front row of a fashion show. I'm uninterested in it I find it trivial and banal and boring.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Once we get out into a kind of an open world, we really do learn about ourselves and for me it's a lesson in discovering yourself, discovering your inner resources and then literally, in the movie, finding your voice.
Jamie Lee Curtis
The only two questions that need to be asked each day are: Did I live wisely? Did I love well?
Jamie Lee Curtis
To make new friends you have be willing to put in the time.
Jamie Lee Curtis
And I was ashamed of myself for feeling like I had to do that in order to look a certain way. I felt misshapen, just not natural anymore. And I think it was a big stimulator of my drug use.
Jamie Lee Curtis
I try to go to the gym three times a week. And I have to watch what I eat. I'm a normal person.

My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.
