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

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.

If it weren't for women, men would still be wearing last week's socks.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

They didn't even like Margaret Thatcher but at least there was Margaret Thatcher. There have been women, you know, Sonia Gandhi for heaven's sakes in India.

Athletes as role models and heroes is a hoax, a sick hoax. The men and women who are fighting in Iraq, they are the true heroes.

On the road to equality there is no better place for blacks to detour around American values than in forgoing its example in the treatment of its women and the organization of its family.

For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.

Women don't like advice. They don't want you to fix their problems, they just want you to listen.

Oh yeah, I'm a huge romance fan. And some women like action.

When women go wrong, men go right after them.

Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.

I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.

The greatest public health threat for many American women is the men they live with.

The world over, give a guy money and it goes to drinking, gambling, and women. When you give a woman money, it goes to feeding, clothing, helping people.

I'm looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can't technically keep you out, but please stay at home.

Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women hating.

Films have never shown the kind of relationship that can exist between two women.

They know they're going to look beautiful, and I don't think women should look like costumes. They shouldn't look like fashion victims.

I find that a lot of women respond to my work in that it doesn't make them feel bad about themselves.
