Blake Lively

“My mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design.”

“Everybody on our cast is very musically talented, except for me.”

“I first started wearing fragrance when I was thirteen or fourteen, and the smell was candy-like. They were in very colorful bottles, like turquoise and pink. By the time I was sixteen or seventeen, it got more girly and more floral.”

“I really don't like the gym. I like experiences, so I take any chance I get to go on a bicycle or on a hike.”

“I want babies. Lots of babies. Of course!”

“You can't be an entrepreneur for other people. You can't start a company for other people. You have to love it more than you ever thought of loving something that wasn't a human being. The demands will kick you down and rob your life - but yet, it is so rewarding.”

“I always loved fashion.”

“My anonymity is something I treasure.”

“I have to learn to knit.”

“I was raised in California, so this whole New York winter thing is completely new for me. I've already justified buying seven coats!”

“In the olden days, a couple could be in every movie together, but it's just not like that anymore.”

“I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it's the best way to get to know a culture.”

“I've been so lucky to work with such great people: people that are such hard workers and have such a respect and appreciation for one another.”

“It's definitely attractive when a man can dress well.”

“There have been so many things written about me that are untrue and horrifying.”

“התקשורת תמיד מנסה להסית אותנו זה נגד זה, אני מניחה שזה בגלל שהם פשוט לא רוצים לומר 'כולם מסתדרים, כולם פשוט עובדים 18 שעות ביום ואז הולכים הביתה לישון'.”

“בשבילי אופנה היא דרך להבעה עצמית. זה גם מוציא אותי מאזור הנוחות שלי. אחת הסיבות לכך שאני שחקנית היא שאני מאוד ביישנית, ככה שזה משחרר להתלבש ולהעמיד פנים שאני מישהי אחרת.”

“אני אהבתי את זה שיש לי שם של בן, כמו בלייק קרינגטון מ'שושלת'.”

“My mother had very humble beginnings - to put it mildly. Her dad built their home out of timber that he cut down on their land. No heat, no air-conditioning - 'no foolishness,' as he would call it.”

“When I was a child, I probably should have been medicated about my obsession with The Spice Girls. I had the Buffalo shoes, a customised Baby Spice necklace - when I say custom-made, it was made out of plastic from the local mall - and a Union Jack dress.”
