Paparazzi need more flattering lenses.
— Sandra Bullock
A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don't want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.
Nobody can make me cry in public. I'll punch them first before they make my mascara smear.
I'm simply the mom who makes the lunch, drives to school, finds where the toys are, washes the clothes, and I'm here to play. And that's all I should be.
As connected as we are with technology, it's also removed us from having to have human connection, made it more convenient to not be intimate.
I'd like to think at some point instead of it being a woman's film or a man's film, it is just a great story, and both sexes can go and get the same enjoyment out of it.
As long as I have enough money for makeup artists, everything is okay. I feel young and very free. But one day, my face will be too old for the camera.
Human beings exist that have integrity, that know how to keep their mouth shut, that know the bigger picture, that don't sell out their friends.
Everything in large doses is gonna kill you. Even happiness.
Comedy is wonderful when you really nail it and you hear people laughing, but it's not always that easy.
There's so many different ways to cheat. People think infidelity is the way to cheat. I think it's sometimes far worse to emotionally cheat on somebody.
We are all deserving of love.
I hate the term 'rom-com.'
If a film is not a success, then that's just the way things are. Nothing I can do can make a difference. I have stopped worrying about it.
I was afraid of being a failure, of not having the best time or of being chicken. But every year I get older I think, What was I fearing last year?' You forget. And then you move on.
I think most people have that out of body experience when they win the Oscar.
Racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life.
I'll do anything for free stuff.
Children should be allowed to be children and not be sold.
I would love to be on 'Top Gear' as a star in a reasonably priced car.
I don't like to fly. I've never been a good flyer. I have a lot of friends that have permanent nail marks in their arms... The moaning that comes from me when there is turbulence. It's awkward for everyone around.
I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn't be an oddity.
Once you learn how to say no, that's about the only place that you'll have control of your work and what you do.
I have achieved everything through either hard work or luck.
No one understands the shift in priorities about having a child in your life... until you have a child in your life.
People came to my parents' parties because they were going to have fun and, if lucky, our mother would belly dance. What they didn't know was that the hostess made sure every morsel placed in front of them was pure and without anything artificial, no matter what the cost.
Competing with other women wastes a lot of time, and I'm just not very good at it.
Being in front of a camera, in a nice dress, getting all dressed up, is extreme. There's a lot of other extreme situations, you know, just getting out of bed sometimes is extreme - but I do it. Just got to do it, just got to get up. Put your sweatpants on, brush off the dog hair and just get out of the house!
I love fashion. I love couture. I'm going to erect a shelf in my bedroom with an art light to be the spot for the shoes of the month. I want them to serve another purpose.
I didn't have a teenage or early-20s experience that was free and without worry. I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase.
I was always incredibly driven and found it impossible to relax. I felt that if I slacked off for a minute to enjoy myself, then so many things would be missed.
If all of a sudden someone said, 'You have five more kids,' I'd be totally OK with it.
I always had boyfriends, but I never imagined a proposal or a wedding. To me, that was like having a ball and chain round your neck.
I don't know if I always want to be in front of the camera. I love producing, I love the camaraderie. I love the adventures. I love the stress.
I can't selfishly take journeys anymore because I have to take a little boy along with me.
If you spend enough time with yourself in silence, you'll be surprised what goes through your head.
I like lists, I'm controlling, I like order. I'm difficult on every level.
When you have adversity and you have pain, you never feel more alone than you do at that moment. And you can be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people.
Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out.
I gave up coffee. It's almost worse than giving up a lover.
I spent so many summers and New Years and fun times in New Orleans. It was always a place where I felt I could go and actually let go and enjoy the spirit of something.
I think everything is going to be devastatingly sad - when the phone rings, I know somebody in my family's been hurt, somebody's going to die. I'm sure a therapist would go, 'That's not a good way to live,' but every time it's not that bad thing, I'm so thankful and appreciative.
I always said if it gets to a point where I really want a child, I would adopt; kids are amazing, so I'm getting the selfish stuff out of my system so when I have them I can say, 'Go, run. I have plenty of money, go play.'
I don't understand women who try to be glamour queens.
Poop humor is fun. If you do the toilet scenes well and commit to them, they can be really, really powerful.
You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. We're all family - an extended family.
I've always wanted to do a female buddy film, the kind the guys get to do.
I used to get out of bed sometimes and feel depressed and watched a lot of reruns on TV to get over it. I should have allowed myself to be a little more human and not worry about trying to be a superwoman.
The acting thing is so beyond my control. Acting isn't mine. You're like a tiny piece in this big, corporate mechanism that needs chemistry and divine intervention.
My mother always told me, 'Don't get married. Make your own life. You don't need a man.'
