I'm glad that I get to take my final walk as the princess of 2012. ...there's nothing wrong with winning an Oscar!
You never write a speech in advance because if you don't get to use it, you'll be heartbroken.
The fact that women are very young in obtaining their civil rights and African-Americans are young in obtaining their civil rights, I think it's about time that we extend that to all Americans, whether straight, gay, purple, green, black, brown.
I'll say that I don't think you can throw a stone and not come in contact with someone who knows someone or has problems with substance abuse.
I'm an Oscar nominee. I love saying that. Whatever happens, I'm going to sing that 'I'm an Oscar nominee' part.
I'm starstruck everyday. The day I'm not starstruck, I'll have to retire.
I think if I weren't so squeamish, I would have been some sort of forensic analyst. And I can't do anything with a microscope, because then I start thinking about the world of germs around us.
One thing I've learned is be comfortable in your skin, and more importantly, be comfortable in your shoes.
I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.
I was starstruck and sweat a lot when I met Oprah Winfrey and tried to hug her. Because when you think you know people when you see them from your couch.
I'm probably the most militant person you'll ever meet and I speak my mind without provocation sometimes.
I'm not trying to be a different weight. I want to be a different body type so that I'm not an apple. I just want to be a pear!
Christian Louboutin, I love you, but honey, please! But when you have this much weight, you've got to give us a little platform. Sorry! The shoes are stunning though. An ounce of pain, it's worth it.
I gotta go home and feed my eels. They're not electric, but I have a plan.
