Kirsten Dunst Quotes:
  • (When asked what would be her luxury item on Survivor) "My cat, because he's fun to play with, he'd entertain me, and I could eat him if I was really hungry."
  • "I'd like to grow up and be beautiful. I know it doesn't matter, but it doesn't hurt."
  • “Boys frustrate me. I hate all their indirect messages, I hate game playing. Do you like me or don't you? Just tell me so I can get over you.”
  • Why would I cry over a boy? I would never waste my tears on a boy. Why waste your tears on someone who makes you cry?
  • About SPIDER-MAN movie: "I usually don't like these movies, but I wouldn't have done this film if I didn't think it would appeal to girls too. This movie has a good heart and a good romance."
  • "I don't think I was mature enough to understand the script of American Beauty. And I didn't want to kissing Kevin Spacey." [on her rejection auditioning for the role that went to Mena Suvari]
  • "I want to play an action hero. I'm ready for roles that totally aren't me."
  • "I'm very mature for my age, but I'm also innocent in a lot of ways."
  • "I wanted to get an angel wings tatooed on my back, as a guardian thing."
