I was terribly shy when I was growing up, I really wasn't

Emily Mortimer

British - Actress Born: December 1, 1971

With the author

My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they're beautiful and wonderful then they believe it, and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends.

Emily Mortimer

51st State was one that I loved doing because the character was so out there, and in a way I was sad to leave the character behind. I'm afraid I could never be that cool in real life!

Emily Mortimer

I'm still shy - I'm no good at my children's parent-teacher conferences, and I'm slowly learning how to ask for what I want. But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. There's nothing that I'm too scared to have a go at.

I believe that friendship is life's most precious and amazing gift and an incredibly powerful force.

Ananya Birla

The best part is it's a dream come true. I've always wanted to be a working actor, and the good part of it... it's all good! I work long hours, but it's amazing. They pay me. That's amazing! I get to kiss Keri Russell, and that ain't too bad.

Scott Foley

It is amazing how a new child can refocus one's direction seconds after its birth.

David Bowie

I love a tequila shot. You should try it with brown sugar instead of the salt, and orange instead of the lemon. Amazing.

Michelle Keegan

Humans have an amazing capacity to believe in contradictory things. For example, to believe in an omnipotent and benevolent God but somehow excuse Him from all the suffering in the world. Or our ability to believe from the standpoint of law that humans are equal and have free will and from biology that humans are just organic machines.

Yuval Noah Harari

I always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn't feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It's a colorful, beautiful, comfortable, fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.

Ariana Grande

A police force, wherever they are, is made up of amazing people, and I respect them a great deal.

It would be an amazing superpower to be able to make every person you meet feel better about the thing that makes them insecure.
