One thing I've learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it's taking you.
I guess I'm just not in it for the celebrity of it. I'm in it because I love it.
The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.
She was a woman very out of her time,
I think it's unfortunate that things are seen as winners or losers because in the end, it's the performance that matters.
I'm only twenty-seven, and I'm not easy to pigeonhole. But if you need to do that, if it makes you feel comfortable, okay, fine.
I used the subway all the time. It's my form of transportation, ... because it's quick. It's inexpensive.
Not to put down any of these other movies I've done (since 'Boys Don't Cry,') but they weren't meaty like this. I feel really lucky to have found two amazing roles before I hit 30.
If I can just keep searching for things that move my heart and soul as much as this story, you can't go wrong,
I ended up dropping out of high school. I'm a high school dropout, which I'm not proud to say, ... I had some teachers that I still think of fondly and were amazing to me. But I had other teachers who said, 'You know what? This dream of yours is a hobby. When are you going to give it up?' I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there.
[She didn't tell Eastwood what had happened.] I didn't tell Clint, because in the end, that's what happens to boxers, ... They get blisters, they get infected. They have injuries and they keep pushing through it.
I don't know what I did in this life to deserve all of this [on winning an Oscar 2005]
I don't know what I did in this life to deserve all of this. I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream.
I'm just so excited, ... a movie with a lot of heart. It's a very important story that we all made for the love of it.
I can remember crying on the set of Beverly Hills 90210 after being released from the show a few years ago.
I was a trouble maker.
I haven't tucked a sock in my pants for three years.
In terms of property damage, ... the estimate is at least $26 billion in insured losses and perhaps twice that in uninsured losses over a 90,000-square-mile area - approximately the size of Kansas.
Being a teenager was a horrid time.
I had to fight my whole life to break out.
It's not over. We're not divorced. We've been together for over 13 years, and there's a lot of love there.
I was blessed with many gowns to choose from, ... But when I put this on, he gasped, and I knew this was the one.
I could do half a pull-up when I first started training, ... I literally, I tried to pull myself up, and I was shaking. And I couldn't do it. And I couldn't believe it. I thought, you know, and as a kid, you had, doing pull-ups and stuff. And then when I was done, I could do 11.
We have come a long way. To think that this movie would be made three and a half years ago. We made it for under $2 million.
