Sandra Bullock Quotes
“…there was a movie I wish I had done: The Matrix. At the time [I was approached about it], it wasn’t cast with Keanu [Reeves], and I didn’t see myself with the person they wanted [in it]. Later I saw the movie and loved it. It was sexy and great because of Carrie-Anne [Moss] and Keanu.”
“I read the script and laughed so much. It encapsulated everything that has gone awry in our society for girls and women, who are pushed to be homogenized. What happened to all the Carol Burnetts in the world? All these great women were allowed to be this unique blend of things. I’m not the blond bombshell; I’ll never be that. There’s a piece of Mary in everybody — to be accepted for who you are and not have to change to be seen as normal. To be true to yourself is something I admire. I wish I was like that all the time.”
- on her upcoming movie “All About Steve”
“Welcome to my broken nose! [Her sister accidentally broke it while lifting a garage door when they were younger.] …I was rejected in school because I didn’t look like the big-breasted, beautiful girls. I was awkward and sad. My mother always said, ‘Be original!’ but I didn’t understand until I changed to be like everyone else. Once I fit in, I was like, ‘What have I done?’ I realized that my friends before were much cooler, with a great sense of humor and a way of looking at the world that was more fun. But if I hadn’t gone through that, I wouldn’t have been driven to make my oddities cool. It’s what made me have a sense of humor and thick skin. It’s like in ‘All About Steve’ — I’m making fun of everything people have judged me for and put it into one character.”
- on telling a girl who feels ugly because she’s not blond or doesn’t have a thin nose…
“People ask, ‘How do actresses do it?’ Um, they pay us to do this in order to look good on film. I do Pilates, kickboxing, weight training. When I’m in Austin, I run or ride a bike. If I can work out every day, I will. But there are times when I won’t do anything for two weeks, and I’m like, ‘You know what? I talk enough to burn calories.’”
- on staying in shape in Hollywood world
“I feel like women are pitted up against each other, they aren’t raised to support and love each other like men are in sports. But I have a sister [Gisene, who is 41] who is there for me and loves me… People will see us and say we are so different but then they’ll sit with us and see we’re so connected. There’s total support.”
- on having a sister.
“If you wait tables in New York, you can do any job in the world…”
- on being a waitress before becoming an actress in her past.

Robert Pattinson Quotes
“I was like this chubby-looking … I looked kind of like an old, Irish alcoholic… I think they were getting desperate, so when I came [they said] “We’re tired of looking; Let’s take the next guy who walks in!” I think a lot of it was that. Yeah, how uncomfortable I felt trying to play this perfect guy, it kind of inspired my performance when I was in the room ’cause I had no idea how to play it. And I [was] this kind of broken, totally self-conscious person who hardly said anything. And I think they misinterpreted the whole thing, thinking I was this really intense, really passionate guy. And I just had no idea what I was doing.”
- when he auditioned for the part as Edward in the movie “Twilight”
“Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as Claudia!”
“Twelve was a real turning point for me as I moved to a mixed school, and then I became cool and discovered hair gel.”
“The stuff I find attractive in women I always regret finding attractive. I always like a kind of madness in a woman… I like it when they hate me right from the beginning.”
“I hate any reference to my name. I wish people would just completely invent a new one.”
“I wear a hat a lot. I have so much residue crap in my hair from years and years and years of not washing it and not having any sense of personal hygiene whatsoever. … Even today, I go into these things where I’m supposed to be this sexy guy or whatever, and I’m literally asking [the studio rep], “If I get plumes of dandruff on me, can you just brush it off?”
“If you don’t wash it (the hair) for six weeks you won’t have to wash it ever again. Until it gets unbearable.”
- on how his hair gets to look like that and on not washing it! (Yay! What a turn off!)

Lindsay Lohan Quotes
“I was going to clubs all the time, and it was not okay. I was so alone. It made me not focus on what I was doing… I did it to myself, and I have to deal with the consequences. I’m thankful for what I can take out of it. Now I feel clear. That’s my past, and I’m a different person now. I have goals and I’m working to achieve them.

Nicole Kidman Quotes
“I didn’t foresee it… that you can meet somebody who you have a deep and more profound love with.

- after her divorce with Tom Cruise whom she was married for 11 years.
