It's easy to get lost in the baby. You have to make sure you give your husband attention.
I think for any actor to say they don't like attention is ridiculous. Of course we love attention. But getting attention is different than pretending the attention means something.
If I'm bringing joy to people and entertaining people as an actor, then I should be grateful for that and act accordingly, you know?
I was never a person who was introduced to junk food.
I read a lot of nonfiction - especially books about the brain.
I’m the Renee Zellweger now. Jewel is the me now. There is no more Jewel.
I'm not saving anybody's life, I'm not a teacher, I'm not working for UNICEF. I don't think I'm some big deal.

For me, being able to work with somebody who I don't have to translate my experience to all the time - that's important, because I'm not having to walk someone down the path of racial understanding to tell a story about a woman of color.
It's gross. We use real brains. I think they're lamb or cow or something. Intestines smell. Brains don't really smell, but what's amazing about the brain is that it's almost like scrambled eggs or soft tofu, almost like a gel. The brain controls so much of what we do, but you could put your finger right through it.
This is Hollywood. People don't admit mistakes.
People love to watch a train wreck, I suppose.
I don't find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I'm not saving anybody's life, I'm not a teacher, I'm not working for UNICEF. I don't think I'm some big deal.
We're teaching young girls that this is what they should be focusing on: rich and famous girls who are rich and famous for nothing.
