Don't judge a book by its cover 'til you've read the book.
I'm not sure what fame is for if it isn't to focus on charitable work.quot;
If you just watch a teenager, you see a lot of uncertainty.
Well, I could do it for a day, but I wouldn't want to be a teenager again. I really wouldn't.
The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.
I'm never going to be an athlete, never going to be running triathlons - I'm not that person.
The biggest lesson I've learned from my children is to look in the mirror at myself, not at them. I've realized that everything I've done has had an impact on them. We have to understand that they are like little paparazzi. They take our picture when we don't want them to and then they show it to us in their behavior.
I'm going to look the way God intends me to look... with a little help from Manolo Blahnik.
If I were an actress today at the age of 18, I would never make it, because now our young actresses all seem to be very beautiful and very talented right away.
My deal was that they would use a full-length picture of me in my underwear and a full-length picture of me all done up, and they would write about how long it took and how much it cost, because that was the whole point. It was very liberating.
I'm a human being who lives a flawed, contradictory life. And I have all sorts of problems and all sorts of successes.
The most rewarding aspect of parenting is seeing my children be authentic. The most rewarding thing for me is to see them do anything that they're proud of.
I wasn't the kid who lined up her toys, although when it came to Barbies and that little traveling wardrobe with the drawers and the little shoes, my stuff was always on hangers and the shoes were always in pairs. Things had their places.
I never represented glam. That's the thing, you'll never see me in the front row of a fashion show. I'm uninterested in it. I find it trivial and banal and boring.
