Yasmine Bleeth Quotes

“It was almost like falling in love… It became my boyfriend, my best friend, my family.” – on her cocaine addiction (Us Weekly, April 2003)

Every man who’s ever fallen in love with me fell hard the minute I cooked a meal for him. It’s the way to a man’s heart.

Jelena Jankovic Quotes

Jelena Jankovic Quotes

Haha, I especially like this one. Jelena talks about her turn of luck in 2007: “Since then I started to get better and better, and who knows, but if I didn’t make it to the quarterfinals, if I didn’t win a few matches in Rome, maybe I wouldn’t be here right now, maybe I would be, you know, who knows, in my university, with thousands of books, reading, becoming a genius (laugh).”

After losing to Lindsay Davenport in Bali, Jankovic said: “I didn’t train much and it’s tough to get motivated here. But it’s OK, now I can finally go to the beach.”

“I didn’t want to play but my mother forced me.”

“I don’t have confidence so I’m not playing my best. I have a new coach now and he’s changing little things in my game. So all the shots feel so insecure at the moment.”

“I’m not playing at my best, I don’t feel the ball well. I have a new coach and he’s changing things in my game, so the shots feel so insecure at the moment. My first (match) with him I lost in Toronto and now here. And before that I was not playing bad. Since I started with the coach, I’m not feeling so confident.”

“I have a new coach now and he’s changing little things in my game. So all the shots feel so insecure at the moment.”

“It was a big mistake. I just couldn’t concentrate.”

“At one point in the match I thought I was going to throw up, I think maybe it was 6-5 (in the first set). If it wasn’t a final maybe I would have retired.”

“I got sick when I was playing the semi-finals in Korea, and since then I’ve had a tough time playing,”

“I wasn’t even playing tennis (when I first saw Seles). I was always watching (Seles) on TV with my dad and I decided to play tennis not because I wanted to be a professional player, but because my parents wanted me to get involved in something so I wouldn’t be running around the streets in Serbia.”

“I am working on every aspect of of my game, on moving forward, on my transition game. Also a very important part of my tennis is fitness. I want to be stronger, because in the past, this was my biggest weakness.”

Tyra Banks Quotes

I’m a perfectionist. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s OK if there are flaws here and there.

I took guitar before … well for two months but I remember nothing. My fingers used to hurt really bad when I played guitar. I stopped because of it.

[About Barack Obama, who was in running for President in 2008]: When Barack won the nomination, I just started bawling. I started calling all these people, and everybody was talking to me like I was crazy. They’re like, ‘Well, he hasn’t won yet,’ but I’m like, ‘Yes, he has because he’s gotten this far.’

[About her longtime struggled with chronic stomach aches]: I would get major attacks. I would be in bed for days, it was so painful.

[on watching "Sex and the City" (1998), while exercising]: I got rid of one of my couches in my living room and I watched Sex and The City episodes on the treadmill or the elliptical, so Sex and the City lasts 30 minutes – that’s how long I’m on the elliptical.

[on re-evaluating her eating habits by keeping a food diary]: I switched up my unhealthy eating habits for healthier eating habits, and I haven’t had a tummy attack since December ’08.

My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are. There’s a lot cooking right now and a lot of fire burning in my heart. And I salute you my amazing family of viewers; without you there never would have been a ‘Tyra Show.’ I really love you all.

[on her decision to end "The Tyra Banks Show" (2005) in 2010]: I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past five years.

[Who said about her teenage years in Los Angeles that being a supermodel wasn't a goal nor a dream]: It wasn’t something that I always wanted to do — it wasn’t like I grew up and looked at magazines and said, ‘Oooh, that’s so glamorous, I wanna do that.’ It found me. I was thin, I was 98 pounds, I was 5 foot 9, I was an inch shorter than I am now. So that is not just supermodel thin, that’s just like, what’s-wrong-with-her thin, and I had very low self-esteem because nothing I could do would make me gain weight.

[When she began to question about the natural of beauty and the role race played]: I know that I got the covers of those magazines and that I had a very successful commercial side of the modeling industry. I think it had to do with my coloring and the fact that my eyes were green and my hair is sandy and my skin is caramel-colored. And I look at who society puts on a pedestal when it comes to black beauty, and a lot of the times it’s a biracial girl, or a girl that does have lighter skin. I have made it one of the missions of my life to redefine and to open up the small box of what beautiful is.
Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It’s about accepting all of yourself. You’ve got to learn to accept the fool in you as well as the part that’s got it goin’ on.

Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic, erotic women. Why can’t we be the sexy All-American girl next door?

Believe it or not, I just really know how to pose well. It took me five years to learn what my best angles are.

[on Adrianne Curry's complaints that she did not receive what was promised her as the winner of "America's Next Top Model" (2003).] I have an invested interest in all the girls. I take Adrianne’s struggles to bed with me at night. Adrianne’s problem was that she went to Europe to try to make it and nobody knew who she was there. So it was like starting over. But after a girl leaves the show it’s really up to her to be aggressive and try to succeed.

Vida Guerra Quotes

I want to get more into acting and become an actress. That’s my one and only goal right now.

That’s the bad thing about Pisces, we can never make up our mind.

I go to the gym three to four times a week, try to eat healthy when I can and drink a lot of water. It really sucks to exercise but a girl has to do what a girl has to do.

Aaron Eckhart Quotes

Aaron Eckhart

Aaron Edward Eckhart is an American film and stage actor.

Aaron Eckhart Quotes

(On his nomadic upbringing) I came back from summer camp and my dad said: ‘Boys we’re moving to England’ and I said ‘No we’re not’ But dad said ‘I don’t care about the expense or whatever, you guys can travel as much as you want when we get there.’ So I’d ski in Europe, I’d go to Greece, Spain, Moscow, I played soccer in Paris and rugby in Munich. We did everything.

[on his job working at a movie theater in Sydney, Australia) I thought Crocodile Dundee (1986) was an inspirational film, I loved that movie. I'm serious. I saw it hundreds of times.

I'm not prone to doing science fiction, it's not my bag.

[on working with Heath Ledger] My experience was wonderful. It was the experience of…loving to act myself, to watch somebody who loved his character and had the discipline to make a bold creation. I found myself trying to keep up with him and I was also admiring him at the same time. I watched him off-camera and on-camera, as an actor, to see his process. After the day was over, I shook his hand and said, ‘That’s why I’m an actor – ‘cos of guys like you’. So I treasure that time with him…He was brilliant, he was brilliant to watch, he was brilliant to see on a daily basis, on set in the makeup trailer, when we were putting on our makeup together. I was doing Harvey’s and he was doing the Joker’s and trying to figure it out. If you would have said to Heath, ‘Hey dude, this is a superhero movie, why don’t you chill?’ You just wouldn’t say that to him. And I don’t think that the movie would be as special if he did, so I think we all have to strive to those standards.

(2011 quote, on quitting drinking) I couldn’t be happier with that decision. I recommend it to anybody. I did not go to AA…I haven’t had a drink for seven or eight years. I’ve changed my lifestyle. I don’t go out. That’s not just because of drinking, it’s because of getting older. I’ve outgrown it, plus all my friends are married and have kids. I’m very interested in my health and I want to live the rest of my life very healthily. I feel 100 per cent in command of myself, so, when I get up, I never have to ask, ‘where have I been? What have I said?’

[on his height] Normal…About 6 feet tall and a buck seventy.

Yeah, I’ve done a lot of smaller stuff before, so it’s nice to be in something that people actually see – on the outstanding success of The Dark Knight (2008).

[on working with Nicole Kidman on Rabbit Hole (2010)]: “She was irritated with me and I was irritated with her. But that’s the way movie-making is. For one day, are we not allowed? For half a day even? It’s so surprising to me when people are surprised that movie making is sometimes tense and uncomfortable because inherently it’s going to be. You’re around tens of people or hundreds of people working on things that are imaginary and that come from the soul. You could be dealing with subject matter like prostitution, death, drugs, blah, blah, blah. How could you expect that not to be uncomfortable?”

(2011, on mentally visualizing your goals) I believe if you contextualize something then it will manifest in your life. I have done that with houses, cars, jobs. It absolutely works and it’s not hocus-pocus. I believe everything in life has a spiritual component and everything’s fair game.
