“When you’re having dinner with your kids and your husband and someone says something funny or you’re dying laughing because your three-year-old made a fart joke, it doesn’t matter what else is going on. That’s real happiness.”

“I don’t know how people do it. I was just at a photo shoot with Kate Winslet, and I was like, ‘How the f**k do you do this? I don’t understand.’ Kate said, ‘I know, it doesn’t work. Everyone falls apart. I haven’t worked in 20 months.” . (oh like kate’s marriage? bless)

“Some days I feel like everyone in my world has plugged themselves into my kidneys. I’m so tired”.

“The thing about the paparazzi, I realized, is it’s probably made me look like a really grumpy person”.

“But when you’re the person they’re taking the picture of, it’s like, ‘You just followed me and made my kid cry and you’re going to make money off it? You want me to look at you and smile? Are you out of your mind?’”.

“I really lucked out with him. He’s deeply lovely and special.” talking about her husband.

“The hotel concierge is not telling me where to get a facial, Christy Turlington is. Doesn’t everyone want to know that? I would want to know if you went to Mario Batali’s house what he made you for dinner and could I have the recipe. So why not?” On doing her GOOP website.

“If you saw me naked compared to what I looked like when I did Iron Man 2, when I was exercising every day - I’ll get it back together, but I’ve never eaten so much fried food and white flour in my life, ever. Oh, God”.
