Beauty fades! I just turned 29, so I probably don't have that many good years left in me.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.

Because I was newly pregnant, I was sick as a dog, yet I knew all my lines from a year before.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
Europeans are incredibly negative about America at the moment. I think they lose sight of the fact that the country's a very divided place right now.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I don't know who decided that skinny was more appealing than not skinny. It seems arbitrary.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I have a very highly developed sense of denial.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I just had a baby. I'm not going to work unless it's something really special and meaningful, because I can't imagine missing all that time with my daughter.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I moved to New York from California when I was 11, so initially I was seen as the California person for a while. I didn't feel like I was popular, but I did feel confident.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I put on the fat suit and went outside and walked around. I was really nervous about being found out, but nobody would even make eye contact with me. It really upset me.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I really like where Tony Robbins says that we're all hypnotized to see beauty this one specific way, and it's true.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I say what I think, and I stand behind what I say.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda, it's still a fantastic, amazing place.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I understand what it feels like not to like aspects of yourself. There have been times that I have felt really terrible about the way I look. I have the seed of that feeling.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I was having such a hard time when I made Sylvia. I gave everything I had for that role. It's one or two or three things I'm most proud of in terms of my work. But it was very dark.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I was very interested in art and art history. I probably would have pursued that somehow - working in a gallery or an auction house.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I wasn't the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let me act until I graduated from college.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I, of course, have insecurities, based on physical things that I wish were different, but I have to tune that out.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
I've had a very interesting career. I get to do amazing things and work with amazing people and travel and learn languages - things most people don't get the opportunity to do.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
If we were living in ancient Rome or Greece, I would be considered sickly and unattractive. The times dictate that thin is better for some strange reason, which I think is foolish.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
It really changed my life. When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
It's a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
Jack Black is incredibly hilarious. I think he's really appealing, so sexy. When I watched the movie, I really thought he was sexy.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
My dad always said he couldn't remember a time when I did not want to act.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
My father, he was like the rock, the guy you went to with every problem.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that's pretty seductive.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
Sometimes when things you love get really commercial, you end up feeling betrayed by it.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
The idea is just to stay under the radar as much as possible. At all times. Whatever the city. It's not always easy.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
The Jewish part of me is superstitious.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
There's something that sort of weirds me out about actors who want to be rock stars, and the other way around too.

We feel it's unacceptable to be fat, when it has nothing to do with who the person actually is.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
When you're so out there in the public eye, people are constantly criticizing every aspect about you.
-- Gwyneth Paltrow
Women were real box office stars in the '40s, more so than men. People loved to see women's films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system.
