I've sort of grown into my cuteness.
-
The older you get, the more fragile you understand life to be. I think that's good motivation for getting out of bed joyfully each day.
-
My real hair color is kind of a dark blonde. Now I just have mood hair.
-
My life at home gives me absolute joy. There are some days when, as soon as you've finished cooking breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen, it's time to start lunch, and by the time you've done that, you're doing dinner and thinking, 'There has to be a menu we can order from.'
-
My greatest sense comes from the experience of performing in the movie. When I have a great experience, that becomes a perfect movie. If it makes a nickel, it's still perfect. The same is true with a movie that's a bad experience. If it makes a bejillion dollars, I will hate it till the end of time.
-
Part of the reason why some of the relationships I've had in my past worked for so long is because when you're making movies, a huge gap of time can pass when you don't even see the person.
-
They say I can open movies, and that's nice in that it puts into people's minds that women can do it. It's not just Kevin Costner, not just Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not just the guys.
-
You have to be smart enough not to dismiss where you came from. It may not be all we are, but it makes up for a great deal.
-
~I try to call my mother, Betty, with more regularity because I think, What if Hazel didn't call me for two weeks? I'm able to see her mothering now from a different vantage point.~
-
You know that place between sleep and awake? The place where you still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you... Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting.
-
Babies aren't really born of their parents. They are born of every kind word, loving gesture, hope, and dream their parents ever had.
-
I've always been an environmentalist, but my life changed the day I had children. I realized that I wasn't doing enough to protect the planet. People need nature, and of course I want my children to have the best possible opportunity in life. I also realized how important it was for me to raise them to be conscientious people that are aware of their impact on the earth.
-
I didn't know the odds were so stacked against me. I went for TV shows and never got them. But I kept glued to the pursuit. I was the biggest fool in town, but ultimately I was the biggest fool in town with a job.
-
You can be true to the character all you want but you've got to go home with yourself.
-
The man's [Bush] embarrassing. He's not my president and he never will be either.
-
You know when people are stupid, it frustrates me.
-
When I was a child I had a crush on Abraham Lincoln. Why I would choose to reveal this, I know not.
-
I do think that I am fundamentally the same relatively simple person I've always been. I just have this flashy, wacky job [actress] that confuses people into thinking that I'm somehow ultrafascinating.
-
If all you have to offer is a look that is supposed to be appealing, the you are going to be paid attention to about a tenth as long as you would be if when you speak you are interesting.
-
I think enough cannot be said for what you can discover through literature. So I think that was probably my most valued characteristic as a teenager.
-
On my best day, I am a seven-point-seven. I could be a hard eight if I felt great. If I went on a good run and had on my best pair of jeans, I could feel right on the money.
-
An Oscar is a total honor. It's thrilling, and on the one hand, it means a lot of things, and on the other hand, it doesn't really mean anything. It's a moment in time.
-
What changes with fame is the perceptions of the individual rather than the individual.
-
In essence, I owe my career to Garry Marshall. There was no known reason for him to hire me for 'Pretty Woman.'
