People talk about this Julia Roberts almost like it's a cup of Pepsi. People think Julia Roberts is something they created. The fact is, 26 years ago, there was this scrunched-up little pink baby named Julia Roberts. I am a girl, like anybody else.
I really look up to actors like Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett who have a strong background in theatre.
I am obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow.
I think the other honest attraction was that I just grew up loving watching TV and loving watching film, and there's so many directors and actors that I dreamed of working with, I just really wanted to take a crack at it and see if I could ever work with some of those.
I grew up watching 'Gossip Girl' and 'The O.C.,' and I looked up to Blair Waldorf and Summer Roberts.
The allegedly 'classy' magazines often seem to be in an endless, undeclared competition to see who can climb furthest up the fundament of Gwyneth Paltrow or Jennifer Lopez.
Gwyneth Paltrow names her kid Apple. I'm not going to let that stand.
I freaking love Gwyneth Paltrow - I think shes awesome. She is fantastic.
But I loved making Eat Pray Love, and I loved working with Julia Roberts.

This is what I've dreamed about man. Putting this jersey on is a straight honor. Me being from Houston I'm giving it my heart and my everything because this is what I grew up watching and grew up wanting to be a part of. It's just an honor to play for this team.
An interesting reversal is happening right now. The college women who kicked all this off have been superseded in the mainstream media by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie. And now a new group of college women - the ones in college now - are looking at Paltrow and Jolie as models for the appropriate way of dealing with sexual predators.
I want to be Gwyneth Paltrow when I grow up! She's been able to have such a great career, such a great family and she stays so humble and so real.
I'm not known for having great relationships with ex-girlfriends, but I've been able to continue one with (Gwyneth Paltrow) that's really valuable.
Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn.
I'm not up there with Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts. I don't sell tickets. I've known that for a long time.
