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.

Julia Roberts

I have a lot of favorite songs. One of them is Lyle Lovett's version of 'If I Needed You.'

Deborah K. Ross

I've always thought that I'm kind of a cross between a young Bill Clinton and Lyle Lovett. And I just want to say I'm proud of that. Those are two good looking guys.

James Badge Dale

Jennifer to Beth: Ech. I don't like Tom Cruise. Beth to Jennifer: Me neither. But I usually like Tom Cruise movies. Jennifer to Beth: Me too... Huh, maybe I do like Tom Cruise. But I hate feeling pressured to find him attractive. I don't. Beth to Jennifer: Nobody does. It's a lie perpetuated by the American media. Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts. Jennifer to Beth: Men don't like Julia Roberts? Beth to Jennifer: Nope. Her teeth scare them. Jennifer to Beth: Good to know.

Rainbow Rowell

I don't necessarily view myself as a 'famous' person, I look at like Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts and think to myself, now that's a celebrity.

Cheryl Burke

Julia Roberts was the first big Hollywood celebrity to make me feel like I could be her friend and aspire to be like her.

Suranne Jones

Look at the vast range of roles portrayed by Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, or say Halley Berry. Their works are now my inspiration.

Rituparna Sengupta

The name game is frustrating. Agents will say, They love you, but they're going to offer it to Julia Roberts first.

Mira Sorvino

You have actresses like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, who have roles specially written for them.

Leslie Caron

Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn. I also look up to Kate Winslet and Renée [Zellweger] and Cate Blanchett...and Diane Keaton - she's a genius. I think it's very inspiring to see these women attack such complex roles.

Katie Holmes

You know, women in Hollywood, we don't get action franchises and superheroes. The rom-coms that made Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, and Reese Witherspoon stars are out of favor right now- nobody is making them. In this business, if you are an ambitious person, you don't wait for people to hand you opportunities. You have to make a way for yourself.

Elizabeth Banks

I wanna create a character that's really memorable... like Julia Roberts did in 'Pretty Woman.'

Kari Wuhrer

I've always been a huge fan of Julia Roberts. Without her what would the world be like?

Cameron Diaz

I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. You know, except for the whole hooker thing.

Rachael Leigh Cook

Playing a plainer role means everything is dependent on the credentials of the actor, not the fact that they are as pretty as Julia Roberts. People start to look at their talent rather than their appearance. And playing the ugly part often means less time in the make-up chair, which is a great benefit on set.
