The morning was full of sunlight and hope.

I would give my life for my children, but I wouldn’t give myself. I can’t make it more clear; it’s only something which I am beginning to comprehend, which is revealing itself to me

I always feel so sorry for women who don't like to walk; they miss so much - so many rare little glimpses of life; and we women learn so little of life on the whole.

It is bizarre to treat all differences as oppositions,

She liked then to wander alone into strange and unfamiliar places. She discovered many a sunny, sleepy corner, fashioned to dream in.

She wanted to destroy something. The crash and clatter were what she wanted to hear.

She grew daring and reckless, overestimating her strength. She wanted to swim far out, where no woman had swum before.

Every step which she took toward relieving herself from obligations added to her strength and expansion as an individual.

Don't go; don't go! Oh! Edna, stay with me.

Don't part from me in any ill humor. I never knew you to be out of patience with me before.

Feeling secure regarding their happiness and welfare, she did not miss them except with an occasional, intense longing.

There was with her a feeling of having descended in the social scale, with a corresponding sense of having risen in the spiritual.

I'm just a fucked up girl looking for my own piece of mind.

I feel very strongly that 'curves' are natural, womanly and real.

I want to keep my health and my sanity and be well and feel happy. Plus, I want to have fun.

God, my brain really goes to mush when I'm pregnant.

You have to forgive me because I have a habit of not winning things.

When I first read the script for 'A Little Chaos,' I just loved reading it, as it is a really lovely, accessible, contemporary period film.

Whenever I go to L.A., the make-up artist or hairdresser will end up having a conversation about how fat they think they are, and I really just can't take it seriously at all.

There's a lot of judgement that can come from outside sometimes, and there's media scrutiny that is placed on a lot of women in the public eye, and I just couldn't care less. I really couldn't care less.

I'm really happy in my own skin.

My life has taken me down several different paths I never expected it to take me down. Not in a million years.

I do like being busy. I'm not the kind of person who just sits around and goes to a spa when I'm not working.

I've decided I am going to start loving my backside because I don't know anyone who does that.

I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner.

Real luxury is having the time to read endless stories in bed with my children. And I get that all the time. I'm so blessed.

I think I can see more clearly now - about how the pattern of past experiences has shaped who I am and the characters I have played - and I'm grateful for that.

I resent that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner. I've got a lovely husband and children, and I didn't lose weight to find those things.

Ah, my dad's whistle. On holidays when I was a kid, we would all be off in the rock pools along the beach. When it came time to go, we'd hear the whistle and we'd all come running. Like dogs!

It's true that you need much time to get rid of the fat girl you once were, but you know I am sincerely grateful for my buttocks.

I've decided I am going to start loving my backside because I don't know anyone who does that. And for my daughter, I want to be able to say to her, 'I love this.'

So I won an Oscar. It's amazing. I've got that for the rest of my life for a performance I am proud of. It nearly killed me. I am really proud of the film. That's it, moving on.
