I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss.

I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss.

Most nights I end up wearing a wife beater T-shirt and boxers.

I've got cousins galore. Mexicans just spread all their seeds. And the women just pop them out.

There's no such thing as a perfect guy. I think it would be strange if somebody was absolutely everything you always wanted, because then there'd be no challenge. Also, you'd feel inferior.

I could have sexual chemistry with vinegar.

My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing.

Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.

But I don't feel the need to be famous.

Every time I'd get a critique or some redirection, I'd always just take it very personally. Now I have no problem with it.

Everyone has an opinion of who you are and what your relationship is about, things that you've done or didn't do in your relationship - and it's just all crap, really. Things that are written about it are all crap.

Everyone in my family is an artist in some capacity whether they're musicians, painters, or sculptors, so it's in their blood.

I did research when I was pregnant with my first daughter and was horrified by the chemicals in products, even those meant for babies. I would have to go to 50 different places just to get my house and my kid clean.

I don't like being the center of attention.

I don't put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.

I wish I could speak Spanish, because it would be a lot easier to play more interesting roles.

I wish there were two of me and 48-hour days so I could get everything done. But for me, I have to not try and think that everything has to be 100% perfect all the time and leave room for error. As long as my kids feel loved and a priority, everything really is secondary.

I'm all about supporting anyone whose art is also the way they make their living.

If I didn't get a job, between 16 and 18, that wasn't significant, I was just going to go to college. I didn't want to be a struggling actor at 36 with five kids, doing something I hated. You see the story so much. It's such a vicious business to be in when you're not meant to be in it.

In Eastern culture, people see ghosts, people talk about ghosts... it's just accepted. And in Western culture it's just not.

It feels like I'm starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.

Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.

Movies are the shadiest business in the world.

My parents were young and liberal and knew I was going to drink anyway, so they let me do it at home.

The time I'm not spending with my kid has to be worth it, so when I sat down with my agents after I was ready to go back to work, I told them: It's all about the directors.

When I do comedy, I lose all inhibition and introspection. I no longer care.

You have to be the best of whatever you are, but successful, cool actresses come in all shapes and sizes.

My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything even if you have no clue what youre doing.

Guys are stimulated easily. They are easy to manipulate. All you have to do is wear a sexy outfit.

Parents try the best they can. They want the best for you. But a lot of their stuff is just their own. If you can pull yourself away from it and not always feel like they're attacking you, then it's easier to deal with.

You have to be tenacious, you have to be focused, you have to have a real vision, and be extremely passionate about it.

There were a lot of adventure books for boys, historical novels by Kenneth Roberts, and whatever mystery novels the alarmed librarian imagined might not corrupt an eager but innocent youth.

I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 17. There were boys at school that I would find out later had a crush on me but I was too shy to talk to them.

When it comes to boys and her weight, I think Ellenor is much more conservative than I am, and she has not had the dialogue I have had about my weight.

Americans are big boys. You can talk them into almost anything. Just sit with them for half an hour over a bottle of whiskey and be a nice guy.

I keep fit by running after my three boys all day.

Looking back, I think we were all quite mature, surprisingly responsible. In earlier wars, boys of our age had just gone off to raise hell or enlist or both, but we stayed dutifully at our desks doing tomorrow's homework.

Of course The Beach Boys will be camp.

The moral turpitude of the boys of today appears to center in their failure to concentrate on any particular objective long enough to obtain their maximum results.

When I first started editing GQ, it gave the impression of being, and in fact was, a gay magazine. There were female models in it and there were women on the cover, but the boys were always much, much more beautiful than the girls.

When our boys come home from France, we will have the hags flung out.

The army teaches boys to think like men.

I was a very observant child. The boys in my books are based on boys in my neighborhood growing up.

As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; they kill us for their sport.

I beg you to look at the promising boys and beautiful girls in your homes and in your communities, and then you will not put these temptations in their way.

Alexander at the head of the world never tasted the true pleasure that boys of his own age have enjoyed at the head of a school.

Now, being a girl, I was ashamed of my body and my lack of strength. So I tried to be a man. I shot, rode, jumped, and took part in all the fights of the boys.

Dancing on 'Dancing With The Stars' really broadened my fan base. I jumped off the stage backwards one week, and so many women come up to me now and say, 'You're so brave. I can't believe you put yourself out there like that'. If that inspires some girl out there, then great, because boys aren't the only ones who get to have fun. We get to have fun too.

There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell.
