Always choose people that are better than you. Always be a student. Once you find yourself
to be a teacher, you've lost.
Women should do a lot more fighting. I don't think it's fair that we can't get into good
bar fight once in a while.
Everyone told me to pass on Speed because it was a 'bus movie'.
Sure, I'm an optimistic, joyous person, but I'm also afraid and insecure.
I love humor. I always will fall back on humor. That's something that I think you can't ever get
enough of and, if it's done well, it's great. When it's bad, it's horrible.
I'm still going to be a party girl because I love throwing parties. I love that people say
I throw incredible parties because that is what life is all about.
The older I get, the less mature I get and I like that. I just intend to channel
my behaviour to benefit myself as well as others.
I've always been very skeptical about marriage, because I only want to do it once;
I want to do it the right way.
I mean, anybody can look cute after about three hours in hair and makeup, with a great set of
makeup tools and a great haircutter.
I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not
is up to you. It's what you choose to do with it, the people you choose to surround yourself with.
Always choose people that are better than you. Always choose people that challenge you and are smarter
than you. Always be the student. Once you find yourself to be the teacher, you've lost it.
As I've said often, I did not have a fun childhood. I'm having it now because I feel so liberated.
Fame means when your computer modem is broken, the repair guy comes out to your house a little faster.
[Sullo status di star] It's nothing. It's money. It's people recognizing you from the covers of
magazines. But it doesn't mean anything.
I've been with people who at first say "You're so fun, you're so wild," but [then] they start
saying "Oh, no, don't do THAT." And then I don't do [what I want], and I become this separate person from
who I was, and I resent it. In the past I've surrounded myself with people who weren't the right people
for me to be myself with.
I don't like to talk about personal things. ... And by keeping it private, you have a better shot at a healthy
relationship. I learned at a young age that there are certain things you just don't talk about.
I have no desire to maintain a lifestyle. I am a horrible celebrity. If I am out in public I dress like a pig.
I now have a two-week rule. I give it two weeks and just observe the other person, because it's
like clockwork. At first, it's, "Oh, he's so sweet and so attentive and so great." But after two weeks,
you realize, "Oh, he does that and that and that like every other guy - okay, I get it!"
[Sulla chirurgia plastica] If you do it, then do it well. Make sure you come out looking
like yourself. You're comfortable being put under a knife and disembowelled? Great!
I want to make sure that when people say 'girl next door' or 'sweetheart', they know that sweetheart
is gonna be a bitch some days.
The Acadamy Awards shouldn't even nominate Meryl Streep anymore. She should just be given an award every
year. There should just be the Meryl Streep category.
I'd rather take risks than make something that's cookie cutter.
I don't think there's ever what could be called a 'chilled state' in my head.
The first Miss Congeniality (2000) gave me the chance to do broad comedy that had nothing to do with being
the romantic interest. The girl-next-door thing went away with that film and I tend to do characters that I
want to be more like. In the beginning, though, I was sort of the 'action girl'. And then with While You Were
Sleeping (1995), I was the romantic-comedy girl. But when I took time off, I thought, 'There's something I'm
missing here.' I literally had to start from scratch.
[Sulla maternità] If I'm blessed with that, I hope I am the best version of me that I can possibly be.
Movie sex scenes are never romantic, and you're never swept off your feet. It's always very technical....
I'm counting the beats: Okay, we're supposed to kiss for two beats, then I say my line, then they want another
kiss for four beats. I'm going, One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three and break. It's like choreography.
Sometimes you have actors who feel it's their job to get as far down into your throat as possible. You're like,
Excuse me, I like you, but not that much.
Why do you need one? I don't understand why there needs to be a love interest to make women go see a film.
I think society sort of makes us feel that way - that if you don't have a guy, you're worthless.
