Kate Hudson

I'm very flirtatious, and I enjoy it.

You have people who can't act and they get all these parts. Paris Hilton falls into her own category. She's made a career out of it.

Nothing, literally nothing, makes me feel like I'm back to my body more than Pilates.

Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?

I did not like leaving them when they were little or big. You have to have priorities regarding what you will allow to take you away from your kid.

I was looking at my Instagram, and someone said to me, 'Who manages your Instagram?' I would never let anyone manage my Instagram! I enjoy it.

I was 19 when I discovered Pilates, and I'm still doing it. It's the workout my body really responds to. It's all about alignment, elongating your spine, and strengthening your core. It makes me feel my strongest.

I'm not afraid of heights. I rock climb. I can repel off the side of a building.

I gained 60 pounds, and I'm proud of it. Why do I need to watch my weight when I'm pregnant? I could eat whatever the hell I want to eat.

Honesty will never break you.

If it's a big hit, fantastic. If it's not, then it's not. I don't worry about my work.

I think that's like the age-old psychological core issue for any situation. Anybody who has had an experience with a parent that is absent, it's going to manifest.

If I want to go out and eat at a restaurant with amazing food, I'll do that, like, once a week where I'm not thinking about it. I want to indulge! I want to do things that are not necessarily healthy sometimes.

Yes, I help my kids with their homework. But I also get bored doing it. I will sit and listen to my children pontificate and discuss their ideas till the day is long because it warms my heart, but I really don't want to do math!

I really do feel very lucky. I've had my kids and my relationships. I've set my life down - I'm in my house, and I'm alone with my children - and I'm at peace, and that's a really nice feeling. All I really want in my life is to maintain that.

I love my shape because I work really hard at it. I honor my body by working out and seeing what it can do.

If you work out 20 minutes a day in some way, you're going to see changes.

I went on countless auditions. I begged my parents until I finally was allowed to be in a theatrical play when I was 13. It was the most important thing in my life.

Some days, I feel like I should win Best Mom of the Day award, and some days, I find myself doing strange things that don't have any real purpose, in faraway corners in my house, and I realize I am literally and deliberately hiding from my children.

A lot of people are quite discouraged by the process of getting healthy because, one, they think they can't afford it, and two, it's daunting. I wanted to start a dialogue. Because you won't be able to even get there until you actually accept yourself and start connecting with yourself.

Somebody can become a celebrity for being stupid. That is what it's turned into.

I'm pretty comfortable with my body. I'm imperfect. The imperfections are there. People are going to see them, but I take the view you only live once.

To me, I think when women who have children are fighting overseas, that's long distance. And that's very challenging. I really honor those families that do that.

I'm superstitious... but not like wear the same underwear for two weeks superstitious.

I'm big on manners. I'm big on politeness. I'm big on gratitude.

Sometimes I'll lock myself in a room and dance. I'll turn music on as loud as possible and just get weird!

Happiness is not something that just comes to you. It's an active process.

I was a dancer, so for me, if I don't work out for a week or move my body in some sense, I feel weird.

Your children teach you so much. It's a real mirror of yourself.

I talked to ex-wives of musicians of the '70s for research. They're the funniest people in the world, yet there is this sad, beautiful thing in their eyes that says they've seen more than they could ever possibly tell you.

I auditioned on my own. I tried to make a mark for myself without anybody's help, not even Mom's.

I make sure I eat well without depriving myself of the things that I love: a cheeseburger and fries, creamy white-truffle pasta, bowls of ice cream. Everything in moderation, but I indulge at least three times a week.

A triathlon is on my bucket list. I started training a long time ago, and my life took a different turn: Things happen; work happens. I will definitely accomplish that at some point!

I have never done a thriller, and it will just be really fun for me to heave and pant and run and climb and break windows and scream every once in a while.

The goal when you get into a relationship is not to be out of the relationship. It's to try to stay in the relationship. But if it doesn't work, you can't force those things.

Relationships ending are painful, and you can choose to carry that, or you can choose to reframe it.

I think any message behind a lifestyle brand should embrace everyone.

I always wanted to be a mom.

I smoke, isn't that terrible?

When you're nursing and you're working 18-hour days, that's pretty hard.

If something's not right, I don't believe in maintaining something for the sake of what's considered a traditional family, because I believe that there are different ways to raise children. It's far more effective to raise children in happy homes.

You have a choice: Support the woman standing next to you, or compete with her. But if you compete, you're going to be miserable.

Never worry about bad press: All that matters is if they spell your name right.

I pick the wrong kinds of guys, but they're so hot.

I actually really love to work out. You need to find what you love.

Forgiveness in any aspect of something that is complex is the greatest tool.

The only things I'm competitive in are backgammon and poker.

I like when life is sort of spontaneous. I like the unexpected. I'm comfortable in that!

My parents aren't married. And one of the reasons why they never got married is because they had been married before, and they liked it the way it was. They didn't feel like they needed a piece of paper to be committed. So for me, I know that marriage is not a golden ticket.

My workout mantra is 'Break a sweat every day.' Even if it's just for 20 minutes. I'm very disciplined about that.

I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not.

I don't know if people really want to know how I feel about drugs. I'm not such a stickler. I believe you can choose to live your life any way you want.

I'm a nature girl. I grew up in Colorado and was always outside. I still am, even when I'm in the city.

When I exercise, I need to connect to myself and see how I'm feeling at the moment because my mood is constantly changing.
