Jamie Lee Curtis Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Jamie Lee Curtis:

I can play rhythm guitar. I know how to hold a guitar and strum it.

Getting sober just exploded my life. Now I have a much clearer sense of myself and what I can and can't do. I am more successful than I have ever been. I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.

Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I think my capacity to change has given me tremendous happiness, because who I am today I am completely content to be.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I'm a layperson. I barely got out of high school. I have no business telling people what to do or my big philosophy on life. I'm certainly not going to write any sort of memoir.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Well, I could do it for a day, but I wouldn't want to be a teenager again. I really wouldn't.

Jamie Lee Curtis

And I was ashamed of myself for feeling like I had to do that in order to look a certain way. I felt misshapen, just not natural anymore. And I think it was a big stimulator of my drug use.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I believe that life is hard. That we all are going to walk through things that are hard and challenging, and yet advertising wants us to believe that it's all easy.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I'm a performer. I've just been one since I was a little girl. I used to pretend all the time.

Jamie Lee Curtis

If you just watch a teenager, you see a lot of uncertainty.

If I were an actress today at the age of 18, I would never make it, because now our young actresses all seem to be very beautiful and very talented right away.

I've been happily married to Chris for almost 20 years.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I thought, while they're up and firm, why not shoot them once or twice.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I think I felt that I was very well known for my figure and needed to keep that up for my work. And I regret all of it. I felt fraudulent and very shameful.

Jamie Lee Curtis

So, am I friendly with my daughter and her friends? Yes. Am I their friend? No. Does she shut the door? Yes, and I very much support the shut door.

Jamie Lee Curtis

The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.

The parameters are such that I don't get offered a lot of work. I'm sure most directors hear my list of don'ts and say forget it.

Jamie Lee Curtis

If I'm honest I don't think the world would miss me if I never acted again.

Jamie Lee Curtis

With short hair you have to get a haircut every two or three weeks. And if you're coloring your hair, you have to color it that often. Every time I did it, I felt fraudulent.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I've been going through photos of my mother, looking back on her life and trying to put it into context. Very few people age gracefully enough to be photographed through their aging.

Kids are going to try drugs and alcohol; that's part of society.

The challenging part of parenting for me is to make sure that an individual person is an individual and not some sort of cookie-cutter version of me. At the same time, I want to make sure that I impart my sense of the world as an adult.

I think happiness comes from self-acceptance. We all try different things, and we find some comfortable sense of who we are. We look at our parents and learn and grow and move on. We change.

Jamie Lee Curtis

My deal was that they would use a full-length picture of me in my underwear and a full-length picture of me all done up, and they would write about how long it took and how much it cost, because that was the whole point. It was very liberating.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I have very short hair. It's the only cute haircut I think I've ever had.

Because I know I'm an addict, and I know I'm an alcoholic.

I can play rhythm guitar. I know how to hold a guitar and strum it.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I talk too much.

I've etched out who I am through myriad haircut attempts, outfit attempts, beauty attempts, diet attempts. It's been an evolution.

Modern women are just bombarded. There's nothing but media telling us we're all supposed to be great cooks, have great style, be great in bed, be the best mothers, speak seven languages, and be able to understand derivatives. And we don't really have women we're modeling after, so we're all looking for how to do this.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I love performing and pretending - it's very easy for me.

Jamie Lee Curtis

My mother and stepfather were married 43 years, so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And, you know, it's just a number.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves.

Jamie Lee Curtis

My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.
