Kate Bosworth
Quotes
"The other day
a friend called and told me they made a porn film using the
title of my first movie. I guess you know you've made it when
there's a porn parody of a movie you've done."
"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."
"Do you think it is possible to love someone your entire life
and never realise it?"

just, like, big dogs! I know! Yeah, yeah, Great Danes are great.
Oh, my God, they just so are!"

"The other day a friend called and told me they made a porn film

it when there's a porn parody of a movie you've done."
"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."
There are girls, people in the industry who just kind of flip
through magazines and pick out guys, like, "I'm gonna date him".
I could never do that. I don't think being set up works. I'm big
into fate.
[On the changes that will follow her life and career after being
cast as "Lois Lane" in Superman Returns (2006)]: "I'm ready for
this. I'm just glad my 'breakout' wasn't a gigantic film. I feel
solid in myself now."
[Talking about modelling her Lois Lane performance on Katharine
Hepburn]: "I watched a lot of Hepburn (Katharine Hepburn) to
prepare for Lois, particularly The Philadelphia Story (1940) and
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967). Hepburn (Katharine Hepburn)
is a great model for how I see Lois - strong but fragile."
"I'm in love with what I do but it's not the only thing that
fulfills me."
"I think probably trying to please too many people. Sometimes I
get so caught up in making other people happy that I just sort
of forget about making myself happy and you obviously need to
make yourself happy."
"Everybody makes mistakes, including role models, so you should
just learn and grow from it. Even the best role models do screw
up and learn from their mistakes, and I think it is just
completely unrealistic to say that role models are perfect.
Personally, I think perfection is boring, and secondly, I just
think that it's okay to make mistakes."
"As an only child, you either become a loner or you learn to put
yourself out there, which my parents encouraged."

brilliant, that's when I start getting nervous."
[On the experience of living with her co-stars during the
filming of Blue Crush (2002)] "Of course everybody had their own
little thing. My worst thing was ice cream, I was so intense
about that. I insisted that no one touch the Ben & Jerry's Half
Baked. If they did, it was a full-out showdown."
[Talking to Conan O'Brien about the experience of living in
Sydney while shooting Superman Returns (2006)] "I love Sydney. I
became really attached to the city while I was there. The
atmosphere, culture and the people are just so amazing. I went
for a cruise on the harbor, and the view of the city is one of
the most amazing sights I've ever witnessed. Also, everyone
there is in shape, you go to the beaches and everyone just looks
so fit."
"Whenever I hear that I'm on the brink of stardom, I feel like I
want to run into a cave. It's a scary place to be, the
pinnacle."
"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."
