I don’t want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson – who I have nothing against, but I don’t want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I’ve every learned to prove, like, ‘Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.’ I don’t want to have to do that. I resent having to prove that I’m not a retard – but I do. And part of it is my own fault.

If you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model.

My biggest regret is that I've assisted the media in making me into a cartoon character. I don't regret what has happened to me, but I regret the way I have dealt with it.

I'm very domestic, and I think that keeps me sane. My personal relationships keep me grounded.

I don't really resent being on the red carpet as much as I do having to deal with the paparazzi.

When I talk about my husband, I feel as if people roll their eyes. It's like when you're 16 and order a martini, and the waiter says, 'Do you think I'm stupid?'. They can't grasp that I'm old enough to be married.

I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven't pinpointed what it is.
