I will not vote for a candidate who thinks you can 'pray away the gay;' I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that he has more rights to my uterus than I do; I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that it's okay to dump toxic waste in the ocean.
— Sophia Bush
I believe in the joyous power of an unscheduled dance break.
I love to box. I once took a kickboxing class in college and got totally hooked.
I've started to treat my health like a science project.
I started, whenever I got to a city, just getting on Style Seat, which is the most incredible app for any girl who doesn't have 100 stylists at her fingertips. I can see who's well-rated and whose portfolio I like, and then book an appointment all from my phone, which made having bangs a lot easier.
To me, I think people who don't think it's a big deal to toss a plastic bottle in the garbage are not only being irresponsible, but I think they're being disrespectful of all the other humans on earth.
Your body tells you what it needs, and if you sleep past your alarm on a Saturday morning, it's probably because you need the sleep.
I believe all men, all women, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, you deserve the same rights.
I don't think you can really, truly be the partner you want to be until you know on an absolute level that you are a complete person on your own.
People just deserve to be treated with kindness.
I like all of the mental, psychological thriller movies too. I enjoy horror movies across the board.
Me, I'd prefer to have a good reputation rather than getting press for being scandalous, getting drunk in public, staying out late and so on.
Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.
It devastates me now that I have been reduced to a Hollywood statistic - another joke marriage.
I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.
I want to get married again and have kids and even adopt.
I get to experiment with a lot of looks with my character so that's really fun for me. It's like getting to paint a new canvas everyday.
It's no secret - if you know me, have ever met me or have shared a meal with me - that I'm a passionate environmentalist.
My dream job is to be the Robin to Anderson Cooper's Batman.
I'm not going to dinner with somebody who eats like a bird, nor do I want to eat like a bird. But its weird: In our business, I'm a size 2 and considered curvy. Its important to remind young women, 'Listen, even skinny girls have cellulite, even Halle Berry has cellulite, and what you see in photos isn't totally real.'
Two people who I think have the world's most perfect skin are Cate Blanchett and Kate Bosworth. Maybe there's something to being named Kate, I don't know, but those two just seem to be effortless, yet completely, ethereally gorgeous.
If I wasn't an actor, I'd probably be working in journalism.
I fight for the environment because we only have one planet, but I see how the environment affects poverty and how the environment affects women around the world.
All the sudden high-impact stress can really take a toll on your body. So if you still want to be active and get in a good workout, go to a yoga class or pilates class, or get in some strength and conditioning.
The more that I know of politics, the more it makes me realize that being a politician is largely useless.
I'm such a sucker for love and I believe in it and I always want it to win.
There are fundamentalist psychopaths in every religion in the world. Every single one.
Because I'm 5'4' and athletically built, if I gain five pounds it looks like a lot.
I love boxing. There's something fierce about using your body's force that way.
I have walked away from friendships when I've realized that someone smiles to someone's face and talks about them the minute they walk out of a room. I have no room in my life for that kind of negative energy anymore.
I wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid, but I started doing theater in high school because it was a requirement. At first, I was completely irritated. But I ended up loving it.
Brooke and I share some similarities. We're both passionate, fiercely loyal people. But she is far more outlandish than I'd ever be, particularly with her body and her sexuality. Brooke has made herself weak for men - she only gained self-confidence from their attention.
I get to do what I love every day. I get to crawl into someone else's head and I love that.
Life throws some curveballs at you and you go where it takes you.
I believe people are inherently magical and good.
Tacos are the perfect food.
I'm not a waif-y girl and never will be. I think it's healthy when fitness experts encourage fitness rather than getting a certain body shape.
I have pretty thick eyebrows, so I'm really grateful to Brooke Shields, the first time around, and now Cara Delevingne for making that such a thing. For those of us who were born that way, it's kind of nice.
I had the most incredible English and literature teachers in school, and it really influenced my love of storytelling. It's what made me excited to study journalism in college. I love editorials and documentaries. All of that came from being given the opportunity to lose myself in good writing when I was a kid.
If I spend a Saturday being lazy and curled up on the couch with my dogs, I'll just make sure to get out and be active on Sunday.
When I started training, I just started running every day, which you shouldn't do. I learned that lesson the hard way by getting a stress fracture.
When you use God as an excuse to hate people and you use God as an excuse to cut people down, first of all, I think it's insulting to God.
I think the greatest thing that we can do is take care of each other.
So, I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective, with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's always what's held my interest about them.
Because sorry to say, women run the house. They run the family. They hold things up. I mean, it's like you don't ever see your mom get sick because she handles everything. And it's kind of amazing I think to show people just how strong women are.
I want to play everything. I really want to do it all.
Mystery makes movie stars! If you see someone on the cover of the weeklies all the time, why would you want to pay to see them in a movie?
I'm not a celebrity. I don't call myself a celebrity. I'm an actor.
I've always been the long-term relationship, go-home-and-meet-mom girl.
We've all known a John Tucker. We've either known one, dated one or our best friend has dated one. I think a lot of men at one point or another have been a John Tucker.
