Julia Roberts Quotes:
  • About her new husband, Danny Moder: "He is formidable. He is a man among men, unselfish and all-encompassing. He stands by the choices he made. He will never blame it on somebody else, and I have never seen anybody else do that. I hope there are some people who agree that I have done some good, some kind things in my life, but to really ultimately stand fully in a moment of realizing that I was born to love and to be the wife of this man."
  • "I enjoy hats. And when one has filthy hair, that is a good accessory."
  • "I'm too tall to be a girl. I'm between a chick and a broad."
  • "My real hair color is kind of a dark blonde. Now I just have mood hair."
  • (From 1998 interview) "I've sort of grown into my cuteness."
  • "We all need to take a deep breath and think about being a Bush daughter and having that cross to bear. I'd go out and have a couple of drinks too." - about President George W. Bush's daughters being caught with alcohol as minors
  • "It doesn't bring out the Einstein moment that you hoped it would."-- Julia Roberts, on forgetting to include the real-life Erin Brockovich in her Academy Award acceptance speech.
  • "You know I'm like a total geek, right? First of all, I sit on the set and knit. It's a very social hobby, as opposed to reading at work - I can chat with people and still be fully engaged."
  • "He's embarrassing, he's not my president. He will never be my president" - talking about President George W. Bush
  • "On my best [day], I am a seven-point-seven. I could be a hard eight if I felt great. If I went on a good run and had on my best pair of jeans, I could feel right on the money." [on her looks]
