“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. I’m not hanging out with people who are out every night getting f***ed up. And I think that I’m happy.”

“I was living here [at the Chateau] for almost two years. Who blows that much money on a hotel? I could have bought a house!”

- on partying, being on rehab for 5 months, and living in Chateau Marmont in LA

“I feel like it jinxes it. “It’s hard. The second I start talking about whomever I’m seeing, a month or two later it’s failed.”

“I think it’s pretty obvious who I’m seeing. I think it’s no shock to anyone that it’s been going on for quite some time… She’s a wonderful person and I love her very much.”

- on current girlfriend, DJ Samantha Ronson

“…there’s a person in here… And I have feelings too, whether it’s about politics, the person I’m seeing, the person I’m not seeing. That’s my way of connecting. I don’t want people to think that I’m just an empty f****ing whatever.”

- on connecting with her fans thru blogging

“I don’t know if I could really set a time because then it’s like pressure to do it and failure if I don’t. It shouldn’t be about that. It should be about knowing that you’re ready. (Besides) I still need to be in charge of taking care of myself and getting my sh*t in line and buying a house.”

- on having kids

“… I know people wouldn’t have gone to see my movies if I didn’t make them laugh or make them cry. I think it’s a matter of finding the right thing. I’m sure my first thing back might not be that, but eventually it will come… That’s what this business is… it builds you up to take you down and then sees how far you can come back.”

“I don’t really worry, though. I’m a fighter…. I’m up for a challenge, and I won’t settle.”

- on regaining her career in Hollywood

Lindsay Lohan  is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar for December 2008. Now available at newsstands everywhere.

“I didn’t foresee it… that you can meet somebody who you have a deep and more profound love with. I don’t mean to take away from anything with Tom (Cruise), but I would hope he has the same thing with Katie (Holmes). You move into a stage where you’re able to be a fuller person in your relationship.”

- on committing again, this time to now husband, Keith Urban

“My screen life was far more exciting and beautiful than my real life. I went through this long period of being alone. I was very, very damaged, and I did not want to jump into a relationship because I would have nothing to give, just shreds of what I was.”

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

“Um, no. Would I want my kids to get married at that age? No! But that was an extraordinary thing for me. [Tom] taught me an enormous amount- as a girl into a woman. Absolutely, I would do it again.”

- when asked if she married Tom Cruise too young back in 1990. She was 23.

“When it comes to my kids, I’m just like a lioness… I’m like, no one gets near my babies! That’s why we chose not to sell the photos of her. We just want to have out little cocoon.”

“He’s the greatest man besides my dad I’ve ever met. He’s loyal and he’s a soul searcher. He’ll kill me for… He’s very very private. My previous marriage was far more available. This is why I live in Tennessee and i live on a farm and I’m very secluded.”

- on husband, Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman is on the cover of Elle Magazine for November 2008. Now available at newsstands everywhere.

“Brad is the hardest person to shop for. He has impeccable design taste. And whenever he sees something he likes, he buys it for himself.”

“There’s a side of us that’s so mommy-daddy then there’s a side of us that’s… very man and woman. I’ll leave it at that.”

“I just think it’s all a bit crazy. They just have to make up stuff. We find it odd all the time because we’re probably very boring people when it comes to many things.”

-on false reports that she delivered early when she’s expecting her twins later in the summer of 2008.

“I don’t believe in regrets. It’s a dangerous habit to get into- it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.”

“I’m a strong believer that without justice there is no peace. No lasting peace anyway. I’m somebody who’s very curious about International Criminal Court and supportive of following through on the arrest warrants in Darfur. I’m not somebody that just wants to hold up a white flag and say: ‘Let’s all just get along.’

I think people that do horrible things should be held accountable. I don’t think like in Wanted- which is an action movie- people should (just) be killed. think there should be trials and justice. But the idea behind Wanted is not she’s a badass assassin that just likes to kill people. It’s that, if you ran into Hitler before he did everything, and you knew, would you shoot him? And I would. These assassins are getting lists: They find out who is going to slaughter other people… and they remove them. So that’s the side of me that identified with her. But it is a confusing thing, certainly for rights activists. Don’t read too much into it…”

“Derek Shepherd is the sweet sensitive type. Whether or not he makes bad decisions, there’s always nobleness about him that’s very attractive. Patrick is more complex and interesting than Derek. He has those smiling Irish eyes and a bubbly, fun personality. Regardless of how everyone praises him or the attention he gets, he’s in on the joke and he knows the reality of the situation- that fame and looks are fleeting… He appreciates what he has- that Hollywood is a means to an end. It’s a way to get back to Maine with his family, which is ultimately where he wants to be. He knows what’s real in life, and that’s his family. He lives and breathes for those kids. He’s so excited about having twin boys. And Talula is daddy’s little girl. She can do no wrong in his eyes– until she’s 16 and starts dating!”

-on Grey’s Anatomy costar Patrick “McDreamy” Dempsey

“It’s gross. We use real brains. I think they’re lamb or cow or something. Intestines smell. Brains don’t really smell, but what’s amazing about the brain is that it’s almost like scrambled eggs or soft tofu, almost like a gel. The brain controls so much of what we do, but you could put your finger right through it.”

-on filming Grey’s Anatomy

“The trap is when you start to pay attention to that stuff and care, because in six months, they’re going to be looking at someone else. You know how fickle everyone is. They love it, then they hate it, then they love it. So I’m going to enjoy it because it could be over at any minute.”

- On fame

“It’s pretty remarkable how many people the show touches… I think we are very lucky in that way so, I love when the fans come up to us because they usually have really interesting stories. We are very grateful to the fans, we would have no show without them, you know? You could have the best writing in the world, and you could have the best acting in the world, but if the fans don’t tune in every week, there’s no show. So, I think we have them to be the most thankful for.”

“The chemistry between the cast is very important. We’re a family and have respect for each other. And we have fun, which comes across.”

“I’m working hard to get my body back. But I bet as soon as I’ve reached my goal I’ll get pregnant again!”

“He loves to pull up his little T-shirt and show girls his belly. He’s already had his first makeout session with a girl who’s a month older. She planted a kiss on his mouth and he loved it!” – On son Liam’s latest trick

“I can spend hours in a grocery store. I get so excited when I see food, I go crazy. I spend hours arranging my baskets so that everything fits in and nothing gets squashed. I’m really anal about it, actually.”

“My pet peeve is when a guy falls asleep halfway through a movie. If that happens, there’s no second date.”

“I’ve had guys try to pick me up in my car. No thanks. I should invest in tinted windows.”

Yet do we ever hear it?” — urging people to join the global fight to end violence against women. She is a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Development Fund for Women.

“It is hard meeting new people. Most of my friends I’ve had my entire life, like obviously my sister and Nicole Richie have been with me forever. So when I meet new people, I’m always a little weary of the reason they may want to become my friend. I can usually just tell by when we’re out in public and there’s paparazzi around, I see, you know, who gets a little bit too excited or whatever.”
