Gwyneth Paltrow's quotes

  • Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.
  • [on her father's (Bruce Paltrow's) struggle with throat cancer] It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that.
  • [on her 1997 separation with Brad Pitt] It really changed my life. When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same.
  • I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring and it's not about the wedding. It's a grave thing, getting married. And it's easy to get swept up in the wrong things.
  • I find Sex and the City (1998) irreverent and shocking. It's one step beyond how girls really talk. I would do a cameo on that show in a flash.
  • The simpler things are, the happier they are.
  • The work gets more difficult as you get older. You learn more and you gather more experiences, there is deeper pain and higher highs.
  • There are certain women in this business who have children and I just think, "You must never, never see them!". You can't do movies back to back and see your child if they go to school.
  • Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business.
  • [on being pregnant while filming Proof (2005)] It was very, very difficult. I was trying not to barf. I felt terrible.
  • I'm very happy here [in London] and I really like the way the film industry works, everybody cares. I like that it doesn't have this big capitalistic feeling. When you do something in L.A., you really feel the crew are punching the clock.
  • I sort of look at some peers of mine and I think, "No, you've got it all wrong!". I just want to tell them all to have babies and be happy and not get sucked into that Hollywood thing.
  • I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist.
  • It would be a lot easier on Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston now had they not talked to the press about each other and everything to begin with. I learned my lesson at 24.
  • [on daughter Apple's accent] She says "Mummy" instead of "Mommy", I don't mind that. I will if she starts saying "basil" and "pasta" the English way, as that really drives me nuts.
  • [on Madonna] She has evolved with so much wisdom and grace that I would say my favorite Madonna is today's Madonna. She's a beautiful product of all her explorations and incarnations. (Style magazine, September 2006)
  • I'd rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a tin.
  • My father found joy in feeding the people he loved - genuine, bursting happiness. He instilled in me the idea that a meal made for your family is an expression of love.
  • [on the "scenery" in View from the Top (2003)] It's like, all of a sudden, I'm in underwear for half the movie.
  • When you're having dinner with your kids and your husband and someone says something funny or your dying laughing because your three-year-old made a joke, it doesn't matter what else is going on. That's real happiness.
  • Women really need to examine why they're so vitriolic to other women.
  • I am who I am. I can't pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.
