Kate Bosworth Quotations

I just think that people take me a little more seriously as a brunette. I don't know if that's just because of a societal preconceived notion that all blondes are stupid, but it's a different kind of attitude.

It's so different when you change your hair color, you're treated so differently. It's a very funny experience. It's fun, I love changing up my hair.

I don't really get star-struck, but I do get talent struck. If I meet somebody that I think is just wildly talented and brilliant, that's when I start getting nervous.

The fact that I'm very close with my past relationships is something I pride myself on. My mom is still close to her first husband. It's nice to be able to enjoy someone in a different form.

Whenever I hear that I'm on the brink of stardom, I feel like I want to run into a cave.

At the time, when you're being dissected and judged it's pretty brutal, but in hindsight it's great and - it sounds cliched - you do come out the other side better and stronger.

I like somebody who's not so crazy but likes to have a good time... and who is thoughtful and kind and easy to laugh with. Somebody you can just be yourself with one hundred and fifty percent.

I grew up in a small town where everyone wanted to be the same or look the same and was afraid to be different.

The fashion world feels more normal to me when I'm with them.

You promote your films; it's part of your job. You do the magazine covers and stuff, and then I try to live a really normal life. I definitely don't try to make it into any more craziness than it is.

You have to have confidence. You can't be someone who's so insecure that she's a basket case.

You know what, I'm a big coward and I'm really afraid of live audiences.

I hold theatre acting in such high esteem that it scares me.

I was a real loner in high school, even though people assume I was the head cheerleader.

In this business, it's easy for either your heart or your head to be swayed, and I try to always stay true to who I am.

I almost envy people who say whatever they want.

I can't deal with someone flashy. That's so not me.

It's sort of interesting how, when you get older, things that were once so important sort of fall away.

Acting is a life experience. I'm always learning things when I'm making a movie. So the fame part of it is fine when you consider what you get out of this job.

I used to really want to go on the stage and then the last couple of years I've done some presenting at some award shows. I was so nervous I thought I was going to be sick, so I don't think me on stage for any length of time would work too well.

That's the funniest thing about portraying certain things on screen, sitting next to your parents and they get to see this glimpse of me kissing another guy.

Look, some people talk about their personal lives a lot; I try not to, unless it's more of a generality.

I really wanted to go to high school and be normal.

My parents were amazing and wonderful, but there was a lot of pressure to do my best and in every way possible.

I don't want to broadcast my personal life because I feel it's off-putting.

To put as little pressure on the relationship you're in is very important.

You never grow out of high school sadly.

We never fought. We got along so well and it's interesting because we have such different personalities.

I want success for everybody is what I'm saying. I think that's really important actually, especially in this business. It can be so cutthroat.

Great Danes are just, like, so great, aren't they? They're just, like, big dogs! I know! Yeah, yeah, Great Danes are great. Oh, my God, they just so are!

I love indoor cycling - it has made a really big difference. I feel a lot skinnier. It's kind of the ultimate cardio.

I wasn't a social butterfly at all.

I prefer to just jump into something instead of put it on the back burner, and I suppose that's how I deal with most challenging things. I'd rather just attack it head-on.

When I watch people like Cate Blanchett act, I don't know what is going on in her life, you just get lost in her performance and that's what I hope to do as well.

When you're working through the [fight] scenes, you're working on such adrenalin. And then, later, you're like, "Oh, god, my back hurts. Where did that come from?" Your entire arm can be bruised up, but you don't even think about it while you're working.

The artist-muse relationship is romantic and passionate, and complex, and I would imagine that would be a hard relationship to have if you're not with the person. It requires so much of each other, you have to be in love with each other.

I keep everything that's private private.
