“I've been famous for a long, long time. So I don't think of it - I think of it very differently. It's the normal temperature of my room.”
“I don't think you ever think that you have made it but I did take a look at myself one day and think back to when I was a little girl and it was nice to know that I had at least made it this far.”
“I like to drive with my knees. Otherwise, how can I put on my lipstick and talk on the phone?”
“It seems to be unfathomable to people that I just happen to be 49 and look good. I am totally capable of accepting myself.”
“I can go completely berserk with the makeup, depending on the event. I'm currently in this very mod stage. I wear false lashes and color on my eyelids. I'm really liking shiny eyelids in copper, rose, gold, or silver.”
“Many actresses do that kind of shoot when they are in their early 20s but I didn't think I had anything to worry about so I decided to go for it. I was very pleased with the results and it was also nice to surprise a few people.”
“Divorce is hard and painful and complicated, and something you have to grow through.”
“Women can fake an orgasm, but men can fake an entire relationship.”
“I like being a woman, not a girl.”
“Nobody took me too seriously but I was grown up even as a baby.”
“Before I was a year old I walked and talked and I was even potty trained. When I started going to school I think I got on everyone's nerves because I used to ask adult questions rather than settle for the stuff usually fed to kids.”
“I'm relentless. My mother says I could sell ice to the Eskimos.”
“I certainly think Halle Berry's a wonderful role model. She's a terrific stepmother and has shown that in so many beautiful ways and has made such enormous strides for women culturally and such great successes as an actress and philanthropist.”
“Stardom is no longer the fuel of my soul. It is the deeper aspects of life that nurture me. And I realise I am very blessed.”
“It's my experience that you really can't lose when you try the truth.”
“When I started acting, I was asked said, 'What's your dream?' 'What would you like to achieve?' I would say, 'Oh, I'd like to sit opposite DeNiro and hold my own.' But, you never think it's gonna happen.”
“My personal style and public style are very different. When I go out, I play dress up.”
“Some countries that I go to are still trying to deny that it's happening. In India, 2.1 million people are living with HIV AIDS. India manufactures most of the drugs that are used to cure HIV around the world, which is an amazing, amazing fact that most people don't know.”
“I thought it might be a good move to get into a beauty contest so I tried for Miss Pennsylvania and won. I think that helped me get noticed, at least by the people of Pennsylvania.”
“As women, we understand our bodies, and there's a blossoming that occurs. We're hungry for gourmet meals instead of the fast food. We bring to life a more expansive understanding of life, ourselves, and others. We are more generous and assertive.”
