I've joked that I would have either become schizophrenic or an actress, but as an actress you can do both.

My favorite thing is to have a big dinner with friends and talk about life.

Sexuality is one of the biggest parts of who we are.

You can't not be happy around penguins. You're unfortunately happy and cold but the happiness makes up for the coldness.

I feel that's the richest gift that's ever been given to me: I get to do what I love. And it's a really brutal business, and no matter how successful you are you hear "No" more than "Yes."

I always had challenges when I was younger, because I looked so young but sounded older.

I played the mom in Spy Kids when I was, like, 27. So it was ridiculous. But [Robert Rodriguez] was like, "You know what? If we do our job right, no one will question it." And nobody did.

I'm much more of a kid now than I was when I was a kid. I was the kind of kid who was valedictorian, a straight-A student. My mom used to say, "Please stop studying and get outside."

When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.

I'm a sensualist. My two main indulgences are dark chocolate and massages.

I always feel like I want to work with people who raise my game, and I can do the same for them, and we can jump off the cliff together.

I don't do the gym and I don't diet. I'm vegetarian but I don't diet.

Big, skinny, regular size it doesn't matter as long as your young.

In the real world, it is hard to be taken seriously as a woman. Use your brain and be smart about your choices. There's nothing wrong with being a good girl - it's actually very attractive and sexy.

It's estimated that across Africa 100 elephants are killed for their tusks every day. It takes nothing more than simple math to get to what that adds up to in a year, and it's a distressing figure.

Whole sight; or all the rest is desolation.

I think that a person who is attached to riches, who lives with the worry of riches, is actually very poor. If this person puts his money at the service of others, then he is rich, very rich.

Some of the things I've been in are comedic, but I don't get considered for true comedies because I'm a 'dramatic' actor.

I think ideas only lead to change for intellectual people; and not even them. What really leads to change is experience. Life itself is the teacher.

Whoever puts his confidence in men or in any creature is very foolish.

Your responses to the events of life are more important than the events themselves.
