More quotes by Jamie Lee Curtis
I'm a layperson. I barely got out of high school. I have no business telling people what to do or my big philosophy on life. I'm certainly not going to write any sort of memoir.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Fifty is a big corner to turn. It used to mean being put out to pasture, but it's the opposite with me. I feel more vibrant I'm more active than I've ever been. The F-word really is freedom. It's the freedom to have dropped the rock-the rock of addiction, of family, of comparisons with other people. It's being fit and focused and kind of furious.
Jamie Lee Curtis
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.
Jamie Lee Curtis
The same way that mid century modern architecture was in the 50s, I want to be as a human being. New. Different. Challenging the old. Function over frivolity. Clean living. Clean lines.
Jamie Lee Curtis
My husband and I are very different. Our company is called Syzygy Industries, which can mean a pair of opposites. And that's exactly what we are. Yet there is obviously a very strong pull toward each other.
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
So, take what's inside you and make big, bold choices and for those who can't speak for themselves, use bold voices and make friends and love well, bring art to this place and make the world better for the whole human race.
Jamie Lee Curtis
You can't live a truthful life without regret.
Jamie Lee Curtis
The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.
Jamie Lee Curtis
I've been going through photos of my mother, looking back on her life and trying to put it into context. Very few people age gracefully enough to be photographed through their aging.
Jamie Lee Curtis
The media nowadays has given the message to adults. Don't try new things, don't look foolish because we will catch you and then broadcast it to the world. I think children don't have that.
Jamie Lee Curtis
My favorite time of the holidays is when the children have torn open their loot and delivered their verdicts and are looking to you for something else ... memories that have nothing to do with things bought.
Jamie Lee Curtis
I'm one of those people who does a lot of things. I'm lucky. I get up and I have a lot of energy. I have a great work ethic.
Jamie Lee Curtis
I had the best time I ever had on a Jim Cameron movie - True Lies, 1994. It was the single most freeing experience as an actor I've ever had. And, of course, in the midst of it there was this humungous circus that he conceived.
Jamie Lee Curtis
With short hair you have to get a haircut every two or three weeks. And if you're coloring your hair, you have to color it that often. Every time I did it, I felt fraudulent.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.
Jamie Lee Curtis
I have a rule: Pretend you're going on a trip for two weeks, and pull what you'd wear on that two-week trip, and get rid of everything else.
Jamie Lee Curtis
If you just watch a teenager, you see a lot of uncertainty.
Jamie Lee Curtis
I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older.
Jamie Lee Curtis
If I'm honest I don't think the world would miss me if I never acted again.
Jamie Lee Curtis
