Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.

Show me a person who doesn't like to laugh and I'll show you a person with a toe tag.

It's funny when people say, 'I don't think Julia likes me.' Honey, if I don't like you, you're going to know about it.

You can be true to the character all you want but you've got to go home with yourself.

I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.

I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.

Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.

My real hair color is kind of a dark blonde. Now I just have mood hair.

I don't think I realized that the cost of fame is that it's open season on every moment of your life.

I enjoy hats. And when one has filthy hair, that is a good accessory.

Why is it so weird that somebody didn't recognize me?... The fact is that whenever I meet somebody, I say, 'Nice to meet you. I'm Julia.'

If you love someone, you say it, right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just passes you by.

We all need to take a deep breath and think about being a Bush daughter and having that cross to bear. I'd go out and have a couple of drinks too.

Love is not love, without a violin playing goat.

A fever is an expression of inner rage.

I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them. It's something that's increasingly difficult to find that spark of originality that makes if different than the ones that come before.

I could have been a dental hygienist with nothing bad ever appearing in print about me, but that's not how I've chosen to lead my life. I knew that you put yourself under a microscope the more famous you become.

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'm too tall to be a girl. I'm between a chick and a broad.

Happiness isn't happiness unless there's a violin-playing goat.

I've never had to pretend to be having sex with somebody. I'm like the queen of the foreplay dissolve.

I don't get angry very often. I lose my temper rarely. And when I do, there's always a legitimate cause. Normally I have a great lightness of being. I take things in a very happy, amused way.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

My boyfriend keeps telling me I've got to own things. So, first I bought this car. And then he told me I oughta get a house. 'Why a house?' 'Well, you gotta have a place to park the car.'

I just want to make a point that it's not just great teachers that sometimes shape your life. Sometimes it's the absence of great teachers that shapes your life and being ignored can be just as good for a person as being lauded.

True love doesn't come to you it has to be inside you.

I cannot absorb living in a world where I have an Oscar for best actress and Denzel doesn't have one for best actor.

When I was a child I had a crush on Abraham Lincoln. Why I would choose to reveal this, I know not.

I wouldn't do nudity in films. For me, personally... To act with my clothes on is a performance; to act with my clothes off is a documentary.

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.

I'm an utterly average, total geek.

'Snow White' is an old fairy tale, so obviously the idea of vanity and obsession with youth is long-standing. With today's science, people have become crazy with trying to move their face around. It's bizarre.

During the 80s and 90s, we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century, we've come back to simpler times. People are struggling economically and this has forced them to scale back the material aspects of their lives and realise the beauty of finding the simple joy in being with the people we love.

Everything I've done has had purpose and has been passionate and has been executed in the best way that I knew how. Maybe that's not the perfect way. Maybe that's not the easiest way. But it's the best way I knew how to do it.

Going to the theater is such a joyous experience. My dad would take my sister and me to plays when we were very young, like six or seven years old.

I am completely happy with my life. I love everything about it.

I can direct breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I take pride in my kitchen, but I'm not going to direct a movie.

I choose totally by instinct. And the only time I've ever gone against my instincts, I've regretted it.

I couldn't be an ingenue today, because the business has changed. I remember when you could dress for a premiere just by putting on a cute top. Now you have to be perfect and fabulous in every way, or you're ridiculed.

I definitely think some of my older female peer group are deeply beautiful women. They have this thing that radiates from them.

I did get to keep the wedding dresses from 'Runaway Bride'. They're all boxed up in my garage. I've never opened them. It'll be fun one day when Hazel is taller. She can play dress-up with her friends.

I don't have the luxury of sitting around any more. I must have had bags of spare time before I had children, but I don't know what I did with it and I didn't appreciate it. But it's such a terrific trade-off. I don't have time to get a pedicure, but I sure am happy. Who cares if your feet look bad?

I don't spend a lot of time in the mirror.

I don't wake up with some sense of fabulosity.

I have very smart parents. I feel I learned a lot from both of my parents and life experience.

I just have a great life. I know great people. I've had great relationships - all different kinds of relationships.

I like a good old-fashioned fistfight if people are pissed off at each other. I just feel like if you're really mad and want to have a fight, then put your dukes up.

I love to cook, and I love to have all my family around the dinner table.

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.
