"I have to remind my dad, 'Journalists - no matter how many cigars they smoke with you - are not your friends, so don't talk to them.'"

"You don't want to be photographed? You don't want to be known? Then you don't need to be out there peddling movies."

"You never know what movie I will be in next, but let's just hope it's sells (for my sake at least)!"

"Your regrets aren't what you did, but what you didn't do. So I take every opportunity."

"I grew up with a lot of boys. I probably have a lot of testosterone for a woman."

"I think I've become more comfortable about being a human being."

"I've been noticing gravity since I was very young."

"Script for an actor is like a bible. You carry it with you, you read it over and over, you go to your passages."

"Oftentimes, in fact I think this is to my fault, I look at usually scripts as a whole. I should probably pay more attention to the character that I'm going to play and what they do."

"I've pretty much behaved like a knucklehead my entire life."

"I will always want to do whatever it is that my heart is in, and whether I get paid for it or not means nothing. It doesn't matter. I'll do it if it means something to me and I want to be a part of it."

"I haven't been worried about my image so much as I have been trying to find projects to push myself further than before."

"I love older men."

"I believe that when you're in love you have to pour your heart and soul out to your partner... or why bother? So in that sense I'm an incurable romantic when it comes to men."

"Everything's a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There's no guarantee."

"Every casting director I've met is a woman."

"Believe me, you can get into a lot of trouble being sixteen years old in a foreign country with no adult telling you when to come home."

"Acting is something different to everybody. I just know that if you watch an actor or actress getting better and better, I think that's them just understanding themselves better and better."

"Acting allows me to tell a lot of stories, you know start at the beginning, finish at the end, and tell everything in between. Modelling is just an image."

"I was a tough kid with the jeans, the concert shirt with the flannel over it, the comb in the back pocket and the feathered hair."

"What we women need to do, instead of worrying about what we don't have, is just love what we do have."

"I don't even own a TV because I think it's the devil."

"Whenever I don't have to wear makeup, it's a good day."

"I mean, I can get things done if I need to, but I can really be completely irresponsible and procrastinate until the very, very, very bitter end. In fact, sometimes I work better under pressure."

"I did all my heavy partying before I turned sixteen."

"French fries. I love them. Some people are chocolate and sweets people. I love French fries. That and caviar."

"I eat a cheeseburger with French fries almost every day."

"I'm a pretty girl who's a model who doesn't suck as an actress."

"I'm a pretty girl who's a model who doesn't suck as an actress."

"It's important to be active in the causes that are important to you... That's how we make changes in this world."

"I don't want to go to work and get into bed with someone else, not even Tom Cruise. It's not like I enjoy it."

"Crowds are the most difficult thing for me these days because I have to walk with my head down and my eyes averted. There's still that part of me that wants to hold my head up, make eye contact and smile."

"I hate committing myself to anything. It's probably the lack of discipline, honestly. I'm probably a spoiled brat worried about getting my way every time."

"I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs."

"I think that anything that you do, any accomplishment that you make, you have to work for. And I've worked very hard in the last ten years of my life, definitely, and I can tell you that hard work pays off. It's not just a cliche."

"I love the feeling that you get when you can really laugh with a man and be natural and not always think that there's a sexual element going on. For me, flirting with a man means making fun of myself and trying to open myself and be very unpretentious."

"Women are capable of doing so many things these days, physically, emotionally, within relationships and career. There are so many things that women have evolved into and I feel really proud about where women are right now."

"There's no such thing as turning back the hands of time, and it makes me crazy that we live in a society where that's sold to women—that we're supposed to believe that if we're getting older, we've failed somehow, that we have failed by not staying young. I wish that women would let other women age gracefully and allow them to get older and know that as we get older, we become wiser."

"My Latin roots are very strong. All my life, because I'm blonde and blue-eyed, people who aren't Hispanic can't believe I am. And people who are Hispanic always think I'm not, because I don't look like them. Being Latin is part of who I am and I bring that part to every role."

"I'm someone who loves to enjoy life and tries to focus on real things and real friendships. That's why I live very simply. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. I don't spend much time fixing myself up or trying to look cool. I live like a normal person and even though I'm in a very high-profile business, I really don't let it affect the way I live."

"I am just at that stage of wondering where I go from here. I came into this business almost by accident, but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun, something to do other than be a model, has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up."

"I think women are afraid to say that they don't want children because they're going to get shunned. But I think that's changing too now. I have more girlfriends who don't have kids than those that do. And honestly? We don't need any more kids. We have plenty of people on this planet."

"I can't wait to be that age and hanging out with a bunch of people hanging out all day playing golf and going to the beach, all my own age. We'd be laughing and having a good time and getting loopy on our prescription drugs. Driving golf carts around. I can't wait."

"Think people get scared that they’re not going to be able to do it perfectly - they’re going to be criticized - they’re going to be like, “Well, I’m not totally green.” Well, you know what? At this point we don’t care... Just a shade of green is enough right now. Move a little bit closer towards this. Because the more people start moving closer and closer to it, that’s something that collectively makes a difference."

"I write constantly, but only in my journals. I have three of them: one for travel, one for home, and one I write in before bed. But the last thing I want is other people reading it... What's really fun is reading your journal, like a year later."

"I'm very happy with the way I look. I wake up some morning, catch myself in the bathroom mirror, and go, 'hey girl, you're alright'. But on the other hand, I find the website stuff, and the polls, something completely removed from my own personal life. You can't take anything like that too seriously, otherwise you'd end up in the loony bin."

"I just love the fact that a man possesses something that a woman can never understand because we don't have the experiences of it and that a woman possesses something that the man doesn't understand because only she possesses it."
