Jessica Biel

“I feel my knees changing - like, why do I have this pain when I'm running on the treadmill? What's going on with my lower back when I wake up in the morning? I just feel changes. And I'm definitely fearful in a very vain manner about my body ageing.”

“On the red carpet, I'm playing a character. As soon as I get off that thing, I think, 'Oof, wipe that gloss off.' I'm wiping and wiping and pulling my hair out and trying to change my outfit. I'm immediately trying to get comfortable. It's really a part I play.”

“Eating Paleo just leans you down and slims you up and takes that little layer of fat and water-weight right off your body.”

“I've never gotten to do romantic comedy like most of the girls. Maybe because I'm fit, people assume that I'm not funny?”

“I concentrate on making everything strong, and you can't do that with just cardio. I strength-train one day - and I'm not talking heavy weights, just a little. I see my trainer one day, next day I take a yoga class or cook. I'm not someone who just opens a pantry and rustles something up.”

“As much as I hate auditioning - it's so hard and awkward - it's way better to walk out of that room and win a role because of what you did.”

“I trust my makeup artist to apply dark lipstick, but I get nervous about reapplying it, so I'll just use gloss instead. The last time I tried to reapply dark lipstick, I dropped it on my dress and it left a spot.”

“I'm not a perfect person who doesn't mess up, eat bad, not work out - I do all those things. It's just for the most part, when I'm working, I don't feel like I have the choice. I have to bring my A-game.”

“I work with a couple charities called Serving Those Who Serve and Rebuilding Together. Both are supportive of veterans when they come home.”

“I love being someone I'm not for a period of time. I love every minute of being in someone else's skin.”

“It's not my plan or whatever in my life to be a sex symbol. It never is. You are who you are, but you can't help what you look like. And when you do a film, like for me, it's just not about that. I would prefer to downplay it. I prefer to downplay the sex appeal.”

“Being Sexiest Woman Alive definitely didn't just open all the doors for me, which I thought it would. I thought, 'This is going to be huge for me!' And it really wasn't at all.”

“I'm not squeamish at all. As a child I dragged a dead squirrel home on my skateboard and cut it open and tried to look at its brain.”

“When I'm working and I eat healthily all week, then I give myself one day - usually Sunday - when I eat just what I want. You have to; otherwise, your mind goes a little nutso.”

“We lived in Colorado, and my parents were outdoorsy mountain people. My father would always say, 'Go out and don't come back until you have something to show me.' Which meant he wanted me to come back with a scraped knee or an injury. When I went out to play, I felt like I'd better get hurt.”

“I might just be way too boring to ever be a really great actress.”

“I think I could drink my own blood. Is that weird?”

“At 10, I was intrigued by surgery, I wanted to be a surgeon for a long time. I love doctor shows and surgery shows. Blood is not an issue for me. I even took pictures once of me getting my blood taken.”

“I do like potato chips, French fries and Barney's burgers in L.A. with seasoned curly fries.”

“In the car on my way to premieres and awards shows, I'll sit with tissue paper under my armpits so I don't soil the delicate dress fabric. The whole time, I'm telling myself, 'Please don't sweat, please don't sweat.' I throw the tissues out right before I step out of the car, and nobody ever knows! I just put on a smile and fake it.”
