Elle Magazine Cover features Katie Holmes

Sound Bites

Katie Holmes
-On family life: ?��Ǩ?�In my own life, my whole world really revolves around family. I do what I need to do, but it?��Ǩ�Ѣs like, ?��Ǩ��How is everybody else doing??��Ǩ�Ѣ And it?��Ǩ�Ѣs wonderful for me as an actress to put some of that into a character.?��Ǩ��

-On life: as a working mom on the Broadway set of All My Sons: ?��Ǩ?�Suri would sit in my lap in the makeup chair. She?��Ǩ�Ѣd hand the wig lady the bobby pins.?��Ǩ?�

-On fashion: ?��Ǩ?�I love Alaia, for sure. Stella McCartney. I like Ralph Lauren because I feel like it?��Ǩ�Ѣs very American, and I?��Ǩ�Ѣm pretty all-American, from Ohio. Isabel Marant and a new designer, Sari Gueron.

-On the genre of film she loves most: ?��Ǩ?�It can be any genre. I even like vampire movies ?��Ǩ�� they just have to be well done. I want to believe in the characters. The minute it starts to feel not real, I?��Ǩ�Ѣm not interested.?��Ǩ��

Emily Blunt
-On adjusting to Hollywood life since moving from the UK: ?��Ǩ?�I feel the fear of the business creep under my skin in L.A. in a way that it doesn?��Ǩ�Ѣt in England. It?��Ǩ�Ѣs funny ?��Ǩ�� I feel like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, unless you?��Ǩ�Ѣre in Hollywood! It?��Ǩ�Ѣs shameful how you have to look a certain way. Women are simply not allowed to grow old gracefully. That?��Ǩ�Ѣs why I love playing character parts, because I?��Ǩ�Ѣm not pigeonholed into trying to remain young forever to play the ing?ɬ�nue or romantic lead.?��Ǩ��

Julianne Moore
-On types of characters she is drawn to: ?��Ǩ?�I think my connection to acting has been through reading. I?��Ǩ�Ѣm interested in scripts. People ask me, ?��Ǩ?�What role are you dying to play??��Ǩ�� It?��Ǩ�Ѣs really, What story do I want to be in??��Ǩ��

Renee Zellweger
-On actresses from earlier eras that have influenced her: ?��Ǩ?�For 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�Ѣt 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�Ѣs not about emulating; it?��Ǩ�Ѣs about a feeling.?��Ǩ��

-On whether a successful movie career requires sacrificing your personal life: ?��Ǩ?�A friend of mine couldn?��Ǩ�Ѣt decide between moving to New York or staying in L.A., and another friend said, ?��Ǩ?�Do Everything!?��Ǩ�� I thought, That?��Ǩ�Ѣs it, do everything.?��Ǩ��
Zoe Saldana
-On being known as a beautiful Hollywood actress: ?��Ǩ?�I?��Ǩ�Ѣm sorry, but it?��Ǩ�Ѣs sexy to know that guys find you attractive. It?��Ǩ�Ѣs empowering.?��Ǩ��
