Unfortunately, we live our life in public, so any weight gain or pimple is a national story. I don't get this obsession with weight. It's not only Hollywood; it's our society.

Beauty lies mainly, above all, in personality, not in the skin.

I wasn't going to let a little thing like a hurricane keep me from wearing my bathing suit.

The main thing is to be philanthropic in your everyday life. You don't have to have money to do that. You can do it with your time and your energy.

I got my degree. More importantly, I got a key to American opportunity. That's who we are - a nation that rewards ambition with opportunity. Where hard work can lead to success, no matter where you start.

You don't get the good roles when you're beautiful.

I think I've ignored it so much so that when the paparazzi are following me I really don't see them. You don't see them anymore.
