My dad was very fun and very adventurous, and from a formative age I learned to value men who would do things on a whim.

Once I was chased by the king of all scorpions. I have the most notorious animal stories.

Because I've been on the receiving end of infidelity, I know how much it hurts.

I went out with this boy on the proviso that he didn't tell anybody we were together. The idiot didn't keep his mouth shut. I dumped him. I never went out with a boy from school again.

Men act out like they're horrified by marriage, but when they find the woman of their dreams, they love it.

I'm a dreadful romantic. No matter what I go through in life, I want to fall in love with a man.

It was all about flying round the world, working hard, being on the cover of Vogue, making money. It wasn't fun. It was exhausting, but I was young and convinced I knew best.

There's a side of me that dislikes feminism. I think we surrendered something and women were unable to reveal any kind of vulnerability.

I'm very girly. I love to talk about diets, exercise, kids, make-up.

The fidelity question is difficult for me. Society has made us believe we're supposed to be monogamous when we're not killer whales, or whatever the monogamous species is.

Sometimes I think I am still that 5-year-old girl playing with her dogs in the yard. That's how I see myself.

Rod has such a wicked sense of humour. I loved him very much.

I love men. They are intelligent and sensitive, but there's also that hard-edged arrogant side, which is just so attractive.

I'd like to open an animal orphanage in Kenya. I do a lot of work for Born Free.

My dad was very fun and very adventurous, and from a formative age I learned to value men who would do things on a whim.

All you need is a bad angle and suddenly you're 30 pounds overweight.

And I'm a pretty positive person - I don't put a lot of energy into worrying, and I'm not a person who lives in a great deal of fear.

Anyone can look beautiful.

But things move in circles: one minute it's the models who are famous, then it's the actresses, then it's the designers.

By the time I was 29 I'd spent eight years with someone else's group of friends. I had no idea what it was like to be a woman with mates of her own to socialize with.

God and death kind of resemble each other, because the only time a lot of people will try and talk to God is when someone's died.

I am a very open person, and I'm always nervous of being misconstrued. Sitting in the middle of a restaurant makes me nervous. I feel like I'm being judged. And it's funny that I should feel that way.

I think 30 is a big jump from your 20s, but 40 holds no fear for me.

I think I'd be more relaxed as an older mum, although fundamentally life with a baby is pretty much the same whatever age you are. It's nappies, crying, feeding.

Like lots of women who marry young and find themselves mothers by the time they're 25, I felt I no longer had an identity.

Love is just chemistry.

Teach your children everything that you're not, because they will pick up on everything that you are.

All you need is a bad angle and suddenly youre 30 pounds overweight.

But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.

I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten - with art, but with no sense of identity.

Death comes not to the living soul, nor age to the loving heart.

I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.

For example, UNICEF works with governments to change legislation such as in India where a law was passed raising the age of compulsory school completion to keep children in school and away from the workplace for longer.

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.

I wish I knew at 14 not to put much thought into what other people my age said to me, cause we were all looking for the answers. So I wish I knew that other people really don't know any more than you do!

I believe very firmly that gay people of every stripe and age should be role models for all children, and that means interacting with them.

Donner likes what he does and enjoys being on a set. He doesn't have to do it, its not like he has to make the rent. When I get to be his age and still enjoy what I'm doing like him, I'd be lucky.

Does age matter? Time doesn't matter.

I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.

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.

This is the patent age of new inventions for killing bodies, and for saving souls. All propagated with the best intentions.

Interest is the spur of the people, but glory that of great souls. Invention is the talent of youth, and judgment of age.

For me, having a child is a really great responsibility because you've got something there that is depending on you for information and love until a certain age when it goes to school.

I don't think at my age... you can start ruling people out in politics.

I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.

Another principle is, the deepest affections of our hearts gather around some human form in which are incarnated the living thoughts and ideas of the passing age.

I read. It's also nice for me to get involved in schoolwork, which is a totally different world than acting. It makes me feel like I am doing things that normal people are doing at my age.

When you're my age and you see a story, you better go for it pretty quickly. I'd just like to get a few more novels under my belt.

Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess.
