More quotes by Jennifer Garner
My mom is a hard worker. She puts her head down and she gets it done. And she finds a way to have fun. She always says, 'Happiness is your own responsibility.' That's probably what I quote from her and live by the most.

It's about getting the kids up and fed, getting one to school, getting the other down for a nap, going to the grocery store, picking one up from school, getting the other one down for another nap, cooking dinner... I live my life at these two extremes. I'm either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress.
Jennifer Garner
I always, always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that, when I got a mini-series, I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.
Jennifer Garner
I have this internal battle between, I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids. And the kids win.
Jennifer Garner
I'm privileged, because I have a lot of freedom. I want to use it to make as warm and normal a life as I can for our daughters.
Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner
To become a classical ballerina, you have to move to New York when you're 12 or 11 and that becomes your life. I just wanted to be good in my company in Charleston and I wanted it to always be part of my life.
Jennifer Garner
I feel lucky, though, because even when 'Alias' was popular, I was still sent scripts against type. I've never felt like the world only sees me one way. But yes, it's been really fun to be bad.
Jennifer Garner
I do all my own stunts!
Jennifer Garner
Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places.
Jennifer Garner
You can choose to be civil or not be civil. What is the point of going through the day and think it's cool to wear your honesty on your sleeve at the expense of everyone around you?
Jennifer Garner
I mean, I didn't ever watch 'Gilligan's Island' and think, 'Those people are actors.' I lived in West Virginia. Hollywood just felt like this total other universe.
Jennifer Garner
Well, you can't be trying to achieve success of any kind in this business without accepting that there's going to be a flip side to it.
Jennifer Garner
I try to eat in a way that makes me feel good. If that means a little bite of chocolate I do that, but I try not to use food as a reward for myself.
Jennifer Garner
You stick to the script, the script is Bible.
Jennifer Garner
I do think about aging. I have those moments of panic and vanity, but life keeps getting better, so you can't worry about it too much.
Jennifer Garner
My world was a community ballet school, a marching band, my two sisters and my girlfriends. I played saxophone in the band and was a bit nerdy.
Jennifer Garner
My mom gave me a good piece of advice. She said never marry a man thinking you can change him, and I think that starts from your first date when you're in the seventh grade onwards. Women are fixers so we have to just not fix. Don't fix.
Jennifer Garner
I don't think that because you are a perfectionist that that makes you necessarily automatically unlikable.
Jennifer Garner
