Minka Kelly Quotations

In L.A. everyone is an actor. In Texas, everyone's a musician.

And anyway, modeling wasn't for me. I'm too short. I've got a big butt. It wasn't going to happen.

I learned how to horseback ride in English style, which is very hard, by the way. I had no idea how challenging it was. I've always ridden horses, but Western is like riding a horse in a rocking chair, as opposed to English, where you have to balance and hold on with your legs.

In any solid, good relationship, it takes a while to trust someone.

It blows my mind that anyone could be unkind to anyone.

I'm confident - confident in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff.

Exercise is like meditation for me, and I'm giving myself that time... I can't live without it now.

I didn't go to theater school. I didn't go to Julliard. But I've lived a lot. I've seen a lot. I feel like that makes up for a little bit.

I like to go wakeboarding. It's my new favorite sport. It's like skiing but on a snowboard that has little shoes on it.

I love making characters real and believable, through my own experience and choices.

I moved to California not to pursue acting but to get out of Albuquerque.

I think Miami is such a beautiful, sexy, gorgeous place. I love the people there.

No matter what you're doing, live it. Make an experience. Have fun. Relate to someone. Take them in. Learn.

In L.A. everyone is an actor. In Texas, everyone's a musician.

I was a tomboy, not a girlie girl.

I think the most attractive thing for me when I meet a guy is confidence and him being comfortable in his own skin. I like someone who doesn't need approval or validation.

The fact that we all have broken pasts is something that I'm very attracted to, along with being able to turn your life around and do good with it.

I think brutal honesty is extremely important. Don't be afraid of being up-front about your feelings and your life. I'd rather be an honest friend than a phony lover.

I learned how to scuba dive, which is something that I've always wanted to do.

When you have such a good workout, it clears everything up mentally, physically, and you just have a better day.
