Happy Birthday Demi Moore!

I know I have an eccentric, obsessive-compulsive side.

Warum, verdammt noch mal, müssen Schauspielerinnen immer politisch korrekt sein?

Don't let your wounds make you become someone you're not.

Beim Flirten kommt es darauf an, eher die Notbremse zu ziehen als die Konsequenzen.

I think of myself as still being about five.

Lass nicht zu, dass deine Wunden dich zu jemanden machen, der du nicht bist.

There is no way to reach your fullest potential if you don't really find the love of yourself.

Das Einzige deiner Kinder, das nie erwachsen wird, ist dein Ehemann.

I'm intensely private, and I've openly shown annoyance at the paparazzi.

Ehrlichkeit: für mich ein Must. Die macht verletzlich und verbindet. Und das ist erotisch.

Emilio Estevez was definitely my first love.

When one person is enslaved, we're all enslaved.

There's nothing wrong with having a desire to want nice things. It's when we place that as a measure of the value of ourselves that it goes askew.

You don't come into this life wanting to be anything other than happy.

I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that's the only way I measured my value.

When I'm at the greatest odds with my body, it's usually because I feel my body's betraying me, whether that's been in the past, struggling with my weight and feeling that I couldn't eat what I wanted to eat, or that I couldn't get my body to do what I wanted it to do.

I want greatness.

I entered this career having no background or connection to acting.

I'm an incurable optimist and a go-getter - it's in my nature to focus much more on what makes me happy than what makes me nervous.

At its core Twitter is about sharing, and I think that in life we never feel better or more energized than when we're giving to someone else.

I'm a big believer in that if you focus on good skin care, you really won't need a lot of makeup.

I don't like to take my clothes off.

Despite what anti-aging ads say, growing older can be better. I feel better in my skin, 100 percent. You have greater effects of gravity, but the better sense of yourself you have is something I wouldn't trade. Women who lie about their age - 'why?'

No matter how late it is, when I get home, I take the time to clean and moisturize my face.

Some of my lowest points were the most exciting opportunities to push through to be a better person.

The scalpel won't make you happy.

You have to acknowledge a problem exists before you can actually go about finding a solution.

I just don't like the idea of having an operation to hold up the ageing process.

I would say what scares me is that I'm going to ultimately find out at the end of my life that I'm really not lovable, that I'm not worthy of being loved. That there's something fundamentally wrong with me.

I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl.

'Cougar' has become so distasteful. I really hate that expression.

Being an actress in Hollywood and being a celebrity tend to feed into one another, but just being a celebrity wouldn't really be interesting to me.

I like to connect to people in the virtual world, exchanging thoughts and ideas, when in the physical world we might never have the opportunity to cross paths.

I said I would get better with each baby, and I have.

The truth is you can have a great marriage, but there are still no guarantees.

I want good work.

Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That's freedom.

I want to play many different characters.

Unwillingness to risk failure is always there, but it gets harder when you feel you have more to lose.

The thing is most people are afraid to step out, to take a chance beyond their established identity.

Certainly I'm passionate and driven and quite relentless when I want something.

I have had a love-hate relationship with my body.

I'm honored if I can inspire somebody else.

I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, 'Only children can be abandoned. Adults can't be abandoned because we have a choice. Children don't have a choice.'

Life isn't always easy, but it's simple.

For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look 30.

Models, even male models - how small they've gotten! It looks great for the clothes, but it's not what you want in real life.

When you feel sexy or sensuous, you naturally want to open up and give, and I think that comes from being able to receive love and desire.

I feel like I have the fortune of privilege, particularly as it relates to my children.

There's this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals.

I had an essence in my life that I was nothing.

I want things to be the best they can be. I want greatness.

I have a passion for my work, and that sometimes triggers creative conflicts.
