Andie MacDowell

I think there is sexy. And then there's tacky sexy. When you're young, you can get away with tacky sexy. I mean, it's not even tacky when you're young. But when you get older, it's just tacky.

The truth is that humans have the potential to be horrific. And I think being conscious of that is important.

When you are authentic, you create a certain energy... people want to be around you because you are unique.

There is a comfortable feeling in small towns. It is salubrious.

I'm not a party person. I'm a nerd. I'm not an extrovert in that way at all. The things I enjoy doing could be boring to somebody else.

I think hidden underneath a lot of teachers are very sexy women.

I love being an advocate for women as we get older so that we can feel comfortable with ourselves.

I tried to tell them about the dating process because I'm single now and how horrible it is and how many foolish experiences I had had dating. So I was really selling him hard, but the whole time he really wanted me!

I feel like I've had so many successes on so many levels, even if it is just my relationships with my friends.

My girls have been a great support to me. I come to them when I need to make a decision; they love to watch me work.

I love 'Forrest Gump;' I like sweet, cheery, happy movies. But it has some dark moments too.

I still love finding the soul of the characters I play and defining who they are. This to me is my paint set, and the colors are always exciting to choose.
