Always carry a book on a date so that when you get bored you can slip into the Ladies for a read.
Sharon StoneThere are a lot of good things about being famous but there are a few not so good things too
Sharon StoneI like porterhouse steak, rib-eyes and New York strip. This works for me because I have very low cholesterol and low blood pressure. It's not good for everyone; you have to talk to your doctor about that. I also eat fish and cheese. I like clean food prepared as simply as possible.
Sharon StonePeople are afraid of changing; that they're losing something. They don't understand that they are also gaining something.
Sharon StoneThe most fun I ever had on a movie was working with Albert Brooks. He's the caviar of comedy. I mean, nobody's funnier; nobody is smarter than Albert Brooks.
Sharon StoneThere's a value to getting the meal on the table every night, and there's a value to being an old-school kind of parent.
Sharon StoneCan I add a class? Do you have a problem with letting me audit 8th grade American Civics? Can you get the AP English reading list for me right now? What is this carton of milk? Will you tell me how many calories are in five and half Gummi Bears? Why are there birds in the air right now? Why is the sky so blue? Can I get the home phone number of the school district supervisor? You know I was in Basic Instinct, right?
Sharon StoneI think, at a certain point, it's better for women not to have any alcohol because it can make your face, breasts and midsection get very bloated.
Sharon StoneIt's funny, but I never knew I was hot or could be beautiful until I saw 'Basic Instinct,' and I was so shocked when I saw how pretty they made me.
Sharon StoneI've made humanitarian causes and my children much more my priority than the Hollywood scene, being liked and getting movie parts.
Sharon StoneA woman has many faces as she goes through her life. It's like we need more than one hair-do. We have many, many changes in the evolution of our lives. We have, we learn, and we grow; we view life differently, and life views us differently.
Sharon StoneEvery time I exercise, I do something different based on which areas need to get in motion.
Sharon StoneI don't think Julia Roberts is as innocent as her image suggests. You have to be a really smart cookie to create an image as clean and pure and on-the-money as hers.
Sharon StoneAfter I was really unhappy and unhealthy, I think it dawned on me to stop doing the unhappy, unhealthy things.
Sharon StoneI've fallen in love with my horse. It's a safer bet. We all know from my illustrious past that I should be sticking to men with four legs.
Sharon StoneI'm not trying to make myself look like a girl because I'm not a girl anymore. I'm very happy about being a grown woman.
Sharon StoneWatching children grow up, you learn a lot about life and about being a better person - you learn a lot about what's really important in the world and what isn't.
Sharon StoneYou may be sick of what you did the first half of your life, but you don't just have to walk around and play golf or do nothing... It's not like fifty is the new thirty. It's like fifty is the new chapter.
Sharon StoneI think for a long time people just did not know what to do with me. I looked like a Barbie doll and then I had this voice like I spend my life in a bar, and I said things that were alarming and had ideas that didn't make sense.
Sharon StoneI was, like, forty at birth. When I wasn't even a year old, I spoke, I was potty trained, I walked and talked. That was it. Then I started school and drove everybody crazy because they realized I had popped out as an adult. I had adult questions and wanted adult answers.
Sharon StoneI loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.
Sharon StoneI was in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories in 1980. It was only a bit part and I didn't get to speak but I felt that I was in a real movie and heading where I had always wanted to be.
Sharon StoneI carry condoms in my purse, even though I haven't had sex in a long time. I'm hoping for luck! And I carry them so I can give them to other people who might want or need them, or who might want to have a conversation.
Sharon StoneTo be happy, to make other people happy, to get into movie production more and probably to give some other people the chances that I had, to carry on enjoying being a mum and never to stop having flowers bought for me. I've still got a long way to go.
Sharon StoneI want to feel all my feelings, to have every feeling a person can have and never not feel it.
Sharon StoneI bake all the time, but I don't like to eat the cookies when they're done. I just like the dough.
Sharon StoneWhen I was young, all I wanted to be was a movie star. At a certain point, I started to grow up and really care about what I did.
Sharon StoneThis idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true. I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.
Sharon StoneStardom is no longer the fuel of my soul. It is the deeper aspects of life that nurture me. And I realise I am very blessed.
Sharon StoneThe doctor told Phil, my then husband, that my condition was really bad news. They had found an artery tearing and said I could die. They said they could try to patch it up but it could go horribly wrong. It all turned out okay in the end but it was touch and go.
Sharon StoneTo really achieve any level of greatness, you have to be willing to say yes no matter who says no, and to say no no matter who says yes.
Sharon StoneI think we have to be not so afraid of scarcity. We have to be willing to give away all things.
Sharon StoneI'm enjoying my years, I'm enjoying my life, I'm enjoying my family. I'm just happy - a happy person.
Sharon StoneI've never been willing to lie about my age. Why on earth would I want to tell people I'm 35, which I'm not, and have them say, 'Oh that's nice,' when I could tell them I'm 47, which I am, and have them look at me and go, 'Whoa!'. I'm not afraid of aging. I stopped being afraid of life a long time ago.
