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

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.

Entropy theory is indeed a first attempt to deal with global form; but it has not been dealing with structure. All it says is that a large sum of elements may have properties not found in a smaller sample of them.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.

There's a statistical theory that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they'd eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn't true.

My object will be, first, to show by what connections the history of the fossil bones of land animals is linked to the theory of the earth and why they have a particular importance in this respect.

No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.

From this bestial view that the human mind consists of only sense certainty, pleasure and pain, Locke developed an equally bestial theory of the nation. Man originally existed in a State of Nature of complete liberty.

Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.

Theory not only formulates what we know but also tells us what we want to know, that is, the questions to which an answer is needed.

The theory of evolution is totally inadequate to explain the origin and manifestation of the inorganic world.

Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.

Being used to scientific terminology and theory it was always natural for me to push this stuff into songs.

They do not merely collect texts; they must also gather data about the context and the informant and, above all, write an analysis of the items based upon the course readings and lecture material on folklore theory and method.

A political theory seeks to find from history the limits of the politically possible.

Land: A part of the earth's surface, considered as property. The theory that land is property subject to private ownership and control is the foundation of modern society, and is eminently worthy of the superstructure.

I have a theory about that, if you have to say something, if you have encourage for one second a prospective acting student - he should not go in to acting.

What has any poet to trust more than the feel of the thing? Theory concerns him only until he picks up his pen, and it begins to concern him again as soon as he lays it down.

In the first quarter of the nineteenth century the experimental proof for the interdependence of the composition and properties of chemical compounds resulted in the theory that they are mutually related, so that like composition governs like properties, and conversely.

Each pursues his own theory, little solicitous to correct or improve it by an attention to what is advanced by his opponents.
