The scripts I get are always for the whore, or the motorcycle chick in leather, or the horny maid ... I don't think this is happening to Natalie Portman.

There's a lot of pressure on women to fulfill certain fantasies. They expect you to be a little bit of a tart, to flirt with all the men. A lot of women do it. But I'm not doing that. I talk with these guys about their wives and kids right away. When they say inappropriate things, I let them, because boys will be boys, but I'm not looking to participate in their conversations.

It's not always so great to be objectified, but I don't feel I have much of a choice right now. I'm young in my career. I know I have to strike when the iron is hot.

It seems like all the people who are really impressed with themselves in school -- it's like that's their whole life. What's after that? I was always attracted to the people who thought beyond school and of their future and who they would be as adults.

Parents try the best they can. They want the best for you. But a lot of their stuff is just their own. If you can pull yourself away from it and not always feel like they're attacking you, then it's easier to deal with.

We're such a rich country-- why do we have this many homeless people? It's not just about people who are homeless on drugs; it's about families that make too much money to apply for welfare, but they don't make enough to survive. They're stuck in the middle. What is that?

As a girl, I was always told I was nasty or dirty if I was sexual in any way. Americans are such prudes.
JESSICA ALBA, Rolling Stone, July 2005
There’s no such thing as a perfect guy. I think it would be strange if somebody was absolutely everything you always wanted, because then there’d be no challenge. Also, you’d feel inferior. If somebody is that perfect, how can you not think of yourself as being so imperfect next to him? I think people are perfect in their imperfections.
JESSICA ALBA, Maxim Magazine, Nov. 2003
Young women should pave their own path. I find it quite confining to live up to anybody else's expectations of who you should be.
JESSICA ALBA, Marie Claire Magazine, March 2008
She dreams, she smiles and coos and does all these things, but she hasn't seen enough of the world yet to understand any of that stuff. So still feel like she's connected to the other world, or something. There's no other way to explain it. It's a miracle.
JESSICA ALBA, OK Magazine, Jan. 2009
The films I do always have a happy ending. I hope it reflects back to real life.

I would like to dedicate this award to a young man who has been on my mind for the last 19 years: Ross. Ross didn't love me. I was pigeon-toed, I had a sway back, I was slightly cross-eyed, buck-toothed, I sucked my thumb. Look at me now, Ross! Look at me now!

No one gives Cameron Diaz a hard time for not speaking Spanish.
