So many people think you have to be rich and famous to really create an impact, and it's just not true. Especially when it comes to environmentalism.
I love to be pursued. I think that when you're not a challenge, it's just nnot as fun for the guy.
I've always thought of myself as a role model even before being a 'celebrity.' I've always been doing charity work and volunteering in the community since I was 8, so when you do that, I think you just assume that role when you put yourself out there.
I don't think relationships are all about sex, but it's definitely about passion and that feeling of "I want you now." I love that romantic side of it.
There's a big difference between charity and between activism and philanthropy. They're very different things and I think, you know, everybody should find a passion or a cause that they can really get behind, but it has to be organic.
Who I am at the core and what I think represents me is really reflected in my family.
I don't regret anything I ever do or say. I don't like to live my life being censored. I like to say what I feel, and I think people respect that because you're honest.
I think what destroys Hollywood marriages is our work schedule, not so much infidelity.
I think I've ignored it so much so that when the paparazzi are following me I really don't see them. You don't see them anymore.
I think what I love most about Oprah's brand that I would love to do with the Eva Longoria brand is she has purpose with her brand. Everything she does means something.
It was heartbreaking . . . I think it was disappointing because I had such an identity in being 'Mrs. Parker', and being a wife, and so when that's taken away from you, you [think], 'Who am I?
I've always been confident with who I was, but my twenties were hard. I had to learn a lot of life lessons and I think my thirties will be a little easier because of all the wrong turns I took.
I've been studying the Constitution for myself but also as a way for me, as a Democrat, to comprehend the Right. I think it's important that people who are politically active understand both sides.
As a woman, you feel like you can change the person, but I don't think that's the way it works.
