“I’m the girl who everyone said was never going anywhere. I guess I shocked a few people, but deep down I don’t feel like I’m there yet either.
I’m still just going day to day. I’m just doing my thing.” Chicago Sun-Times
Javier Bardem
JAVIER BARDEM reveals what he finds attractive:
For me, the most attractive woman is the person who is at peace with herself. No matter how good that person looks, when I see somebody at peace, that is sexy to me. Parade
Sally Field
SALLY FIELD talks about her low-self-esteem:
“Many people must have looked at my life and thought I was quite fortunate. But I felt lousy about myself–and as you now know, I didn’t come from a place where I had a lot of self-confidence. In my late 50s I began to embrace myself in a way that I hadn’t been able to before. I find that I’m not as worried anymore about what other people think. That’s a comfortable place to be. And I’m starting to let go of the feeling that I need to push myself to do things. I don’t want to do–an impulse that has always been linked to the feeling that I’m not enough. If you’re busy thinking, Gosh, I’m not pretty or smart enough, your spirit is undernourished. The minute you tell yourself, I’m never going to feel those things again, you stop growing because you’re too busy armoring yourself.” O Magazine

“Real sexiness comes from within. If you punish yourself for all of your flaws, you will never feel or seem sexy at all.
Love yourself and celebrate your body.” O Magazine

“…I am my true self in my marriage. I don’t have to act or pretend I like football. I’m secure enough that if Rande wants to go out and I don’t, I say ‘Go and have a good time.’ Before, I might have either wanted him to stay or else I would go just to keep an eye on him.” Lifetime Magazine
Bruce Willis
BRUCE WILLIS
When asked if he was dating anyone Bruce said, “No. I actually said these words aloud for the first time this year. I’m comfortable being alone. I’m comfortable being single. I may fall in love again, but-for those kids who are listening to Bruce Willis for love advice – any relationship that isn’t founded on friendship is just doomed.” People
Nicole Kidman
NICOLE KIDMAN per NORA EPHRON
Nora Ephron said, “She (Nicole Kidman) told me that as a teen she was tall and gawky and covered with freckles. She would think, why does this body have to represent me?” Glamour Magazine

“I think that we’re all sort of sick of being judged on how we look no matter if we’re too skinny. It seems you can’t be just right anymore. You’re either too fat or too skinny too old or too young too ethnic or too not, you know. You rarely go wow that girl’s just beautiful.” Today Show

“I’ve seen things written that are really hurtful to me and very painful. I like to look on our ABC blog for feedback on the show. It is supposed to be [a place for people] to talk about the episodes, not about whether I look old. I had one person say I needed to start wearing a bra, and now all I’m doing is thinking about my boobs and if they’re saggy. But I just think, Oh, c’mon, Christina! You have to let go and know who you really are. I don’t mind my flaws. When you’re younger, it feels like the end of the world if you make a mistake or if you have a zit. Now it’s like, Who cares? Just try to be happy. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to other people. Do good work. Be professional. All those things are really important.
I’m a big yes-I-will-do-whatever-you-want, people pleasing person, which I think is left over from my youth. I grew up really quickly. I had to be incredibly responsible and show up to work on time and be focused and clear. But now I know what’s going to push me too hard, and I don’t want to be taken advantage of. In this business, you’re treated like you’re a superwoman who can do everything, and you can’t. You’ve got to be able to take time for yourself. So I definitely try to say ‘No’ more. Recently, one of my friends said, ‘You need to get out of your house.’ But why? I’ve got everything I need here. I have my animals. I have a refrigerator. I have my pool. My favorite thing to do is play with my dogs and cats. I think it’s important to have time to reflect and be quiet and just think. I enjoy my alone time. Self
“The truth is, I was the ugly, dorky duckling growing up. Even when I would do the show [Married With Children], I would walk away wearing baggy clothes. I was just so under-confident in what I looked like. I never looked in the mirror and never thought that I was a pretty girl. Boys never hit on me. I really wanted to be that hoochie mama in the club, the one that guys all wanted to look at and grab, but I just could not be that person.”
