kill me softly

The most precious moment in life is when you’re about to fall in love. You’re lying in bed together and he’s gazing at you and you’re gazing at him and there’s a sense that something truly wondrous is about to happen. It’s a nervous moment - but it’s exhilarating.

As a person in the public eye, I have always felt that if I have the good fortune of being able to shed a spotlight on different causes that I feel passionately about… I never tell people whom to vote for. I’m not telling people where to give money, but if there is to be a spotlight shed on me, then I’d like to direct that spotlight onto causes I think are worthy or onto interesting, progressive figures. 

“I don’t have a Facebook or a Twitter account, and I don’t know how I feel about this idea of, “Now, I’m eating dinner, and I want everyone to know that I’m having dinner at this time,” or “I just mailed a letter and dropped off my kids.” That, to me, is a very strange phenomenon. I can’t think of anything I’d rather do less than have to continuously share details of my everyday life. I guess they [celebrities] use it in a way that works for them. But I’d rather that people had less access to my personal life. If I could keep it that way, I’d be a happy lady.”

I think I understand my emotional state and my complexities now in a much clearer way, and I can put them to rest in a way that there’s almost a catharsis that happens through the work, where I can do it and then find myself again.

I try to stay fit and eat healthily, but I am not anxious to starve myself and become unnaturally thin. I don’t find that look attractive on women and I don’t want to become part of that trend. It’s unhealthy and it puts too much pressure on women in general who are being fed this image of the ideal, which it is not.

“I love when I see a movie and it’s like you’re not even in the theater, but you’re right there with the characters, in their world, and going through the experience with them. That’s what I hope to take away when I watch a movie, and I hope that’s what people experience when they see a film – any film – I’m in.” – Scarlett Johansson

I’m happiest when I have something to focus my energy on.
