I think that you love who you love, and there are people who you love that people aren't going to understand why, and that sort of doesn't really matter.

I don't know how you get dressed if you live in Wales, because it's pouring rain and then it's hot sunshine, and then it might hail. It's just so confusing.

I was never the girl who walked down the centre of the hallway snapping people out of her way.

In Texas it's always hot, dry, sunny, not a cloud in the sky.

There's no changing your mind about whom you love. That's part of the tough thing about being in love - it's sort of undeniable.

She tries to get a waitressing job for a while - I mean, she's looking for a while before she finds Coyote Ugly - and it's hard to get a waitressing job in the city.

Wouldn’t it be great to see a line in all movie credits that truthfully says, “Nobody was harmed in the making of this film, and at the cast party, all animals got a belly belly belly rub”.

The days are gone when a country can issue orders to other peoples. Today, mankind needs culture, ideas and logic.

You will always move toward anyone who increases you and away from anyone who makes you less.

My thesis in terms of all my art is finding the beauty in the ugly truth. Just find the beauty in realism and what's there.

Seeking to forget makes exile all the longer; the secret of redemption lies in remembrance.

I think first-person narrators should be complex, because otherwise the first-person is too shallow and predictable. I like a first-person narrator who can't totally be trusted.

The great thing about catchers is that they do a lot of different things, and they're basically overlooked.
