• On plastic surgery: "This obsession with plastic surgery is an epidemic. It's lunacy! These women have had their faces rebuilt and they look terrible. It's going to backfire at some point; sadly somebody famous and young is going to have to die on the table."
• On plastic surgery: "I did all of it in attempting to stave off aging. It made me look worse and feel worse. What they say works, doesn't."
• "I'm a minimalist. I like to have as little in my closet as possible."
• "I just don't want the scrutiny. I'm not interested in the telephotoness (sic) of everyone's eyes. I'm very chaste, for someone who dances around in her underwear in movies. I go to the edge of the pool in a sarong and a shirt and I take them off and I swim. I also choose to walk around in my private life in chaste clothing. I don't wear tank tops or shorts. I wear dark clothing and long-sleeved shirts and skirts to my knee. It's about an appropriateness and an inappropriateness and I'm sure we all know what that line is."
• "I don't think it's the government's responsibility to regulate what's made, it's the parents' responsibility to regulate what a child sees or does. We took Nintendo out when we realized Tom was up to level five on Star Fox. I made the decision to take the Eminem album out of the house after I listened to the whole thing... I have chosen not to let my daughter have the internet in her room - if she wants to go online, she has to come downstairs into a common room so my husband and I can see what she's doing."
• "I'm happier with myself than I've ever been and I think the primary reason I'm so happy is because I got sober almost two years ago. Outing myself was positive as my children are directly involved in my sobriety."
• "Is my daughter allowed to see horror movies? Absolutely not."
• "I've never been mainstream in any area of my life. I've always been on the fringe as an actor. All my movies except True Lies (1994) have been pretty fringy films. So until now I've felt on the periphery of everything. But my children's books have put me smack dab in the mainstream, where I'm having the biggest success of my life and it is satisfying. These books are how I see the world and I think they are fun."
