    Kate Hudson's quotes

  • Right now, there's this style of parenting that I experienced with my generation, which was not to embarrass your children. They run the house!
  • I'm not a good flyer, but that doesn't stop me.
  • I don't know if people really want to know how I feel about drugs. I'm not such a stickler. I believe you can choose to live your life any way you want.
  • I better love what I do or else I'm the kind of person who would say, I'm out of here.
  • My mother was dating this Frenchman. I was 2 years old, and we were living in Ibiza. I never experience details like that in America now.
  • We're always talking about where we want to raise our children. We know it's not Los Angeles.
  • I have zero problems when people say, 'God, you look like your mother.' I go, 'Well, great! Thanks!'
  • Mom said, If this is something you want to do forever, you have to think about this.
  • I am such a sucker for reality television. It's almost like it's so absurd that you can't stop watching it. I just think it's a phase and people will get over it.
  • In Los Angeles, four to five cars follow you every day, everywhere you go. Is it really that interesting?
  • Shows will get more and more obnoxious and silly and then you won't want to watch it anymore.

  • That's the best thing for my work-to be somebody who does get to travel and observe people.
  • I learned from my parents. They're my biggest support system right now.
  • Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?

  • It's been a long time since I've been able to go out and have a nice night with my husband.
  • I talked to ex-wives of musicians of the '70s for research. They're the funniest people in the world, yet there is this sad, beautiful thing in their eyes that says they've seen more than they could ever possibly tell you.
  • I auditioned on my own. I tried to make a mark for myself without anybody's help, not even Mom's.
  • You go to Europe, and it says something about the type of person you are. You're in search of something more intimate and more about yourself.
  • Never worry about bad press: All that matters is if they spell your name right.
  • When I met Jimmy Page it was like, Oh my God! Jesus Christ, this is unbelievable!
  • People either like you or they don't. Not everybody likes Van Gogh. Or Bob Dylan!
  • I'm an Aries! Along the way, I've met so many angels who have taught me about so many things.
  • To me, they were always as good as married. Pa gave Mom a ring and basically vowed in front of all of us that he wasn't going anywhere.
  • I always wanted to be a mom.
  • A lot of European people, and Latin and African people who come to America in search of the American Dream. The American Dream is a romantic notion, but it's not as pretty.
  • I call Mom by her nickname, Go Go. Kurt's nickname is Go Gi.
  • That's what my Pa calls me, Birdy.
  • People should do what they do. If you don't like it, you don't have to be there.
  • I grew up in a house where I got spanked every once in a while. I was disciplined. At the same time, I was completely free to be my own person.
  • The only things I'm competitive in are backgammon and poker.
  • When I'm done with a movie, I take the experience, and wipe my hands clean of it.
  • My experience of Paris was probably the most exciting I've had so far in my life. I felt like I was in the centre of everything.
  • Penny Lane is a real person, but she's a composite of characters, different women he's met along his way. To see the sad person behind the mask is really important to Penny's character.
  • When I was in high school, I wanted to get an agent. Mom said, No, 100 percent no. Absolutely no. Finish high school.
  • I missed Penny Lane so much. I missed going to work and playing her.
  • I smoke, isn't that terrible?
  • When you're on your deathbed, you'll think about your family, about the decisions you make, about the people you love.
  • I'm superstitious... but not like wear the same underwear for two weeks superstitious.
  • I have never done a thriller, and it will just be really fun for me to heave and pant and run and climb and break windows and scream every once in a while.
  • I have a big, flamboyant, open personality, which I think is why people may be saying these nice things about me.
  • If it's a big hit, fantastic. If it's not, then it's not. I don't worry about my work.
  • That's New Orleans-the mosquitoes and the crocodiles. The rain, the thunderstorms, the lightning.
  • Men mature a lot slower than women do.
  • I gained 60 pounds, and I'm proud of it. Why do I need to watch my weight when I'm pregnant? I could eat whatever the hell I want to eat.

  • It's weird not to have had my father around, but things sometimes go sour, and you just have to deal with it.
  • I'd probably much rather be in Wyoming. I'm like a gypsy Mom.
  • I went on countless auditions. I begged my parents until I finally was allowed to be in a theatrical play when I was 13. It was the most important thing in my life.
  • Of course there are different forms of love. This is what my mother calls a once in a lifetime affair. Something that doesn't happen very often to people.
  • How many times do you get to play five different characters in one movie and have Rob Reiner direct it? I jumped at that opportunity.
  • Honesty will never break you.
  • I'm not afraid of heights. I rock climb. I can repel off the side of a building.
  • I fell in love with Chris. He's my man. I think he's just the most incredible singer. He has an amazing voice.
  • More complicated roles come when you are in your mid-30s. In your 20s, it's few and far between.
  • Sex is always tempting, but always with my husband.
  • When you're nursing and you're working 18-hour days, that's pretty hard.
  • I remember running around in Ibiza as a little girl, not being fazed by all these naked people, or people smoking and drinking. Nobody stopped to think there was a child in the room. It was just the way it was.
  • All of a sudden you have these feelings like I have to be perfect and I'm a mother now and I have to breast feed the right way or people are going to think I'm weird.

  • When people really love what they do, it's usually why they're so talented.
  • I do karaoke.

  • Somebody can become a celebrity for being stupid. That is what it's turned into.

  • It's just sad that part of your life can't be yours.
  • I just wanted to be in a Cameron Crowe film. I'm a huge fan of his. So, when I first heard he was doing the movie, I just said, I'll do anything.
  • I was a huge groupie. I really liked his music and when I first met Chris. We talked all night, with no flirtation or nothing. We really just enjoyed talking to each other.
  • As far as all the heavy drugs and all the things that go on in that lifestyle, it's all left our life.
  • These kids who produced this first videogame were like these stoners. They smoked a lot of pot and they did a lot of drugs. They made this big empire and then blew all their money away.
  • You have people who can't act and they get all these parts. Paris Hilton falls into her own category. She's made a career out of it.
  • My mother was quite a single mom, and everywhere she went, she just packed up her two kids and took us wherever she was going. So I was traveling with her all the time.
