Katie Holmes
-On family life: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìIn my own life, my whole world really revolves around family. I do what I need to do, but it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s like, ?¢‚ǨÀúHow is everybody else doing??¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ And it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s wonderful for me as an actress to put some of that into a character.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
-On life: as a working mom on the Broadway set of All My Sons: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìSuri would sit in my lap in the makeup chair. She?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d hand the wig lady the bobby pins.?¢‚Ǩ?ì
-On fashion: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìI love Alaia, for sure. Stella McCartney. I like Ralph Lauren because I feel like it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s very American, and I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m pretty all-American, from Ohio. Isabel Marant and a new designer, Sari Gueron.
-On the genre of film she loves most: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìIt can be any genre. I even like vampire movies ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú they just have to be well done. I want to believe in the characters. The minute it starts to feel not real, I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m not interested.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
Emily Blunt
-On adjusting to Hollywood life since moving from the UK: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìI feel the fear of the business creep under my skin in L.A. in a way that it doesn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t in England. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s funny ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú I feel like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, unless you?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re in Hollywood! It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s shameful how you have to look a certain way. Women are simply not allowed to grow old gracefully. That?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s why I love playing character parts, because I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m not pigeonholed into trying to remain young forever to play the ing?ɬ©nue or romantic lead.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
Julianne Moore
-On types of characters she is drawn to: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìI think my connection to acting has been through reading. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m interested in scripts. People ask me, ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWhat role are you dying to play??¢‚Ǩ¬ù It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s really, What story do I want to be in??¢‚Ǩ¬ù
Renee Zellweger
-On actresses from earlier eras that have influenced her: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìFor Leatherheads, I was thinking of Katharine Hepburn, the way she leaned forward with her shoulders back, speaking in her lower register the whole time. I like her confidence, her intelligence, her sense of entitlement. When I was making Chicago, I couldn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t stop watching the Marilyn [Monroe] videos. Not so much because of the sex kitten thing; it was more her vulnerability. That was a huge part of the Roxie character. But it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s not about emulating; it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s about a feeling.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
-On whether a successful movie career requires sacrificing your personal life: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìA friend of mine couldn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t decide between moving to New York or staying in L.A., and another friend said, ?¢‚Ǩ?ìDo Everything!?¢‚Ǩ¬ù I thought, That?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s it, do everything.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
Zoe Saldana
-On being known as a beautiful Hollywood actress: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìI?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m sorry, but it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s sexy to know that guys find you attractive. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s empowering.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
