• On losing her beloved father Bruce Paltrow: “He's dead, and I'm suffering. Before this happened, I was really at a place in my life where I thought, 'I've figured it out'. Then it was like someone stomped me in the stomach. I needed to talk to my therapist and practice yoga. I hadn't dealt with it, and I felt like it was killing me. I was really scared."
• "I happen to adore British men and I adore Britain."
• “British people don’t seem to ask each other out on dates."

• "I asked the hairdressers 'Do I need to be in the first shot?' and she said, 'Yeah, we asked and you definitely have to be in it.' So it's like, 'Daaadddy, do I have to be in the first shot?' And he's like, 'Nope.' It was great." [on starring in Duets, directed by father Bruce].
• "I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married."
