Madrid reacting with the forceful protection of bullfighting as an art form is an example of the survival of the old values.

I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.

That's what's so wonderful about being in this business because you're constantly surprised. You have to be up for anything.

We all struggle. I'm not saying any successful woman's life is without struggle. But it doesn't mean it has to be miserable.

As an actor, it's always fun when you're able to feel like there's freedom to explore things and try out jokes and be funny.

I'm quite a loner. I realized that I'm very introverted, and I get energy by being alone instead of being with other people.

My preference is for people who can do sketch comedy or situational comedy, where it's not a joke, but it's telling a story.

I didn't really get comfortable until I got to UCLA, and I had to take an acting course because I was studying theater arts.

I have absolutely no problem being thought of as an action chick because, quite frankly, very few women have ever done that.

I love storytelling. I love characters that are complicated and layered, real people, that you see why they do what they do.

People always say, 'Who is your audience?' and I could never put a finger on it - and I wouldn't want to put a finger on it.

The only people that recognize me are the hardcore fans, and I always find that really flattering. I think it is super cool.

I'm not interested in using my father's death as some touch point for why I've become an actor - it's grossly opportunistic.

I love people who aren't embarrassed. I'm always embarrassed, so it's always astonishing to me when people aren't like that.

I started so old, so the touring world will always be a foreign land for me. I'll never be someone who's "been on the road."

I've been playing these schoolgirl roles in all my movies. Every time I went to the set, it felt like I was going to school.

I love Goody's Spin Pins. They're super cheap and look like corkscrews. You just gather your hair and screw them into a bun.

I come up with the silliest excuses when it's time to work out. I'll be like, 'Oh no! Now I have to go and find some socks.'

My parents didn't exercise, so it was not something I saw was good for you or fun. I wish I had grown up knowing to do that.

My mom and I always had a great bond. It was always a natural friendship bond since early on. My mom was 18 when she had me.

Unless it's a specific accent, or something about physicality you have to change, I am generally not such a conscious actor.

Growing up in New York City, I was always encouraged to question authority, and I think I confused patriotism with jingoism.

I'm more embarrassed about some of the films that I've been in than I am about Playboy. Playboy I'm actually quite proud of.

People need to know about the Biossance makeup remover cloths. They're biodegradable, so I don't feel bad throwing them out.

Ive seen the majestic beauty of nature and the overwhelming perfection of it. To me, theres nothing closer to God than that.

I'm not on Facebook. I'm not on Twitter. I know a lot of celebrities who go around complaining how little privacy they have.

Things that are really offensive make me laugh because I like things that push the envelope, go out on a limb, and are bold.

The questions I'm asking myself are, 'What makes me happy? Where do I want to be? What will make me happy at 50, 60 and 70?'

Start to become active in what u love DOING. People admire action, courage&real happiness far more than they admire a size 2

The biggest scandal I was ever involved in was - in high school, at a basketball game, I shot and scored for the other team.

You can tell a person, not by what they say they are gratitude for, but how they respect what they claim to be grateful for.

You know, you kind of lose some self-confidence after having kids because you'll never be the way you were. But I feel good.

My most amazing discovery was becoming a mother. It changed everything. I can't imagine my life without these little beings.

Sometimes we're gonna have our bad days, but we must continue to work to be great. Keep smiling. It looks beautiful on you!!

After so long being thin, it was terrifying being heavier. But I am a naturally curvy Hispanic girl. I don't deprive myself.

I'm teaching myself to believe in things I don't understand, I don't even know if they're true, but that's what dreamers do.

You don't owe anybody the present other than yourself. Take time for you. Respect yourself and your privacy. Set boundaries.

We should be a nation that welcomes immigrants, keeps families together, and ensures that everyone gets a fair day in court.

I'm glad I lived such a full life before I settled down into a family because I got to enjoy it and get it out of my system.

I've been producing for 13 years. I've made a string of joyful movies with positive messages about comedy, love and romance.

I get sick of saying how hard everything is. It's hard to get up in the morning. Everything's hard. Everything takes effort.

This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.

I was thinking about the armor, personally. I think it would go great in my hometown. I don't know. I'm not sure. Hopefully.

I think it's so wrong to play the victim. There's too many brave women out there that just won't even tolerate it, you know?

I've always been against trying to make a movie like another movie. That's lame. It's already been done, so why do it again?

I just worked with Sofia Coppola and that was amazing. I learned so much from her. I can't even describe how much fun I had.

I'm a little more extreme than a homebody. Unless there's some event I really have to go to, I don't like to leave my house.

The relationships I've had with my girl friends are so powerful and meaningful. Without them I truly don't know what I'd do.

I heard oysters are an aphrodisiac, which I can't stand, but I think anything you eat with your hands is cute. I don't know.

I want to be a Renaissance woman. I want to paint, and I want to write, and I want to act, and I want to just do everything.
