A lot of European people, and Latin and African people who come to America in search of the American Dream. The American Dream is a romantic notion, but it's not as pretty.
All of a sudden you have these feelings like I have to be perfect and I'm a mother now and I have to breast feed the right way or people are going to think I'm weird.
As far as all the heavy drugs and all the things that go on in that lifestyle, it's all left our life.
Being in a very small space, it was very bizarre. I went into a cold sweat. It was the first time I realised what vertigo was like.
Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?
Honesty will never break you.
How many times do you get to play five different characters in one movie and have Rob Reiner direct it? I jumped at that opportunity.
I always wanted to be a mom.
I am by nature an active person, a dancer, a thin person with a high metabolism.
I am such a sucker for reality television. It's almost like it's so absurd that you can't stop watching it. I just think it's a phase and people will get over it.
I auditioned on my own. I tried to make a mark for myself without anybody's help, not even Mom's.
I better love what I do or else I'm the kind of person who would say, I'm out of here.
I call Mom by her nickname, Go Go. Kurt's nickname is Go Gi.
I did not like leaving them when they were little or big. You have to have priorities regarding what you will allow to take you away from your kid.
I don't know if people really want to know how I feel about drugs. I'm not such a stickler. I believe you can choose to live your life any way you want.
I fell in love with Chris. He's my man. I think he's just the most incredible singer. He has an amazing voice.
I gained 60 pounds, and I'm proud of it. Why do I need to watch my weight when I'm pregnant? I could eat whatever the hell I want to eat.
I got so much advice, I just started tuning it out. If one more person told me what I had to do when the baby comes, I was going to shoot 'em.
I grew up in a house where I got spanked every once in a while. I was disciplined. At the same time, I was completely free to be my own person.
I have a big, flamboyant, open personality, which I think is why people may be saying these nice things about me.
I have never done a thriller, and it will just be really fun for me to heave and pant and run and climb and break windows and scream every once in a while.
I just wanted to be in a Cameron Crowe film. I'm a huge fan of his. So, when I first heard he was doing the movie, I just said, I'll do anything.
I learned from my parents. They're my biggest support system right now.
I missed Penny Lane so much. I missed going to work and playing her.
I remember running around in Ibiza as a little girl, not being fazed by all these naked people, or people smoking and drinking. Nobody stopped to think there was a child in the room. It was just the way it was.
I smoke, isn't that terrible?
I talked to ex-wives of musicians of the '70s for research. They're the funniest people in the world, yet there is this sad, beautiful thing in their eyes that says they've seen more than they could ever possibly tell you.
I was a huge groupie. I really liked his music and when I first met Chris. We talked all night, with no flirtation or nothing. We really just enjoyed talking to each other.
I went on countless auditions. I begged my parents until I finally was allowed to be in a theatrical play when I was 13. It was the most important thing in my life.
I'd probably much rather be in Wyoming. I'm like a gypsy Mom.
I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not.
I'm not a good flyer, but that doesn't stop me.
I'm not afraid of heights. I rock climb. I can repel off the side of a building.
I'm superstitious... but not like wear the same underwear for two weeks superstitious.
If it's a big hit, fantastic. If it's not, then it's not. I don't worry about my work.
In Los Angeles, four to five cars follow you every day, everywhere you go. Is it really that interesting?
It's been a long time since I've been able to go out and have a nice night with my husband.
It's just sad that part of your life can't be yours.
It's weird not to have had my father around, but things sometimes go sour, and you just have to deal with it.
Men mature a lot slower than women do.
Mom said, If this is something you want to do forever, you have to think about this.
My experience of Paris was probably the most exciting I've had so far in my life. I felt like I was in the centre of everything.
My mother was dating this Frenchman. I was 2 years old, and we were living in Ibiza. I never experience details like that in America now.
My mother was quite a single mom, and everywhere she went, she just packed up her two kids and took us wherever she was going. So I was traveling with her all the time.
My parents were very open about sex. We didn't really hide much in our family.
Never worry about bad press: All that matters is if they spell your name right.
Of course there are different forms of love. This is what my mother calls a once in a lifetime affair. Something that doesn't happen very often to people.
Penny Lane is a real person, but she's a composite of characters, different women he's met along his way. To see the sad person behind the mask is really important to Penny's character.
People should do what they do. If you don't like it, you don't have to be there.
Right now, there's this style of parenting that I experienced with my generation, which was not to embarrass your children. They run the house!
Sex is always tempting, but always with my husband.
Shows will get more and more obnoxious and silly and then you won't want to watch it anymore.
Some people who are very difficult and very self-oriented. In order to get to certain places they need to feel respected and this is about me right now.
Somebody can become a celebrity for being stupid. That is what it's turned into.
That's what my Pa calls me, Birdy.
The only things I'm competitive in are backgammon and poker.
These kids who produced this first videogame were like these stoners. They smoked a lot of pot and they did a lot of drugs. They made this big empire and then blew all their money away.
To me, they were always as good as married. Pa gave Mom a ring and basically vowed in front of all of us that he wasn't going anywhere.
We're always talking about where we want to raise our children. We know it's not Los Angeles.
When I was in high school, I wanted to get an agent. Mom said, No, 100 percent no. Absolutely no. Finish high school.
When I'm done with a movie, I take the experience, and wipe my hands clean of it.
When people really love what they do, it's usually why they're so talented.
When you're nursing and you're working 18-hour days, that's pretty hard.
When you're on your deathbed, you'll think about your family, about the decisions you make, about the people you love.
You go to Europe, and it says something about the type of person you are. You're in search of something more intimate and more about yourself.
You have people who can't act and they get all these parts. Paris Hilton falls into her own category. She's made a career out of it.
Animals of all classes, old and young, shrink with instinctive fear from any strange object approaching them.
The puma is, with the exception of some monkeys, the most playful animal in existence.
We know that our senses are subject to decay, that from our middle years they are decaying all the time; but happily it is as if we didn't know and didn't believe.
