Jennifer Garner

“You're supposed to look a certain way when you're a celebrity, but I want to take care of my baby, and those two things don't mesh very well.”

“You can do a lot with Scotch tape. Almost anything! I love that you can hem a dress, and its an instant remedy in a fashion crises.”

“My parents started with very little and were the only ones in their families to graduate from college. As parents, they focused on education, but did not stop at academics - they made sure that we knew music, saw art and theatre and traveled - even though it meant budgeting like crazy.”

“I never had a problem resisting somebody that I knew was going to break my heart.”

“I never use powder unless I'm about to be in front of a camera. I don't need that matte, crunchy feeling.”

“It's about getting the kids up and fed, getting one to school, getting the other down for a nap, going to the grocery store, picking one up from school, getting the other one down for another nap, cooking dinner... I live my life at these two extremes. I'm either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress.”

“I want flowers; I don't want to text. What does that make me? What kind of dinosaur am I?”

“I'm a pretty hard worker.”

“I hoped, hoped, that maybe I'd be lucky enough to do something on Broadway, in the chorus.”

“No matter what, it is very tricky and difficult just to be a good parent at all. I have a lot of help. And for that I'm very grateful.”

“I'm still really close with everyone at home and their parents - and their brothers and sisters. I was so, so, so lucky to grow up as part of a community and I don't take that for granted. I try very hard to stay part of it.”

“I've had more acne as an adult than I had as a teenager. After weaning babies, my skin's gone totally bonkers. I didn't even know about dermatologists until I had weaned my first baby, and my skin was so damaged. It was just beyond. And then, I realized, there's a whole doctor who can help you with this.”

“I just try work out at least twice a week if I can.”

“The one thing I really lucked out on is that all through my teenage years, when my sister was a lifeguard and everyone I knew was out in the sun all day - I was in the theater. Everyone called me Casper because I never had a tan, and everyone else was tan all the time. I think that was the luckiest thing of my life.”

“I am not pregnant, but I've had three kids, and there is a 'bump.' From now on, ladies, I will have a 'bump,' and it will be my 'baby bump,' and let's just all settle in and get used to it; it's not going anywhere.”

“I would roll up pennies to take the subway to work in Times Square. I was broke, but I was happy.”

“I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.”

“We can be so hard on ourselves. And other people can, too - there's so much criticism out there!”

“I mean, I didn't ever watch 'Gilligan's Island' and think, 'Those people are actors.' I lived in West Virginia. Hollywood just felt like this total other universe.”

“The wholesome is definitely intentional and drilled into me. I mean, we weren't allowed to pierce our ears growing up. We didn't wear makeup. We couldn't have layers in our hair, perms, or color, or manicures. My dad didn't think it was ladylike. My dad just felt like his daughters should be wholesome.”
