Emma Roberts Quotations

I grew up with just my mom. She and I were like best friends. She's a very independent woman and I admire that about her. In my life, I've tried to be like that. To be okay with being on my own and being independent.

I love to just work with new people in general. It's always really fun.

I'm surrounded by great friends and family. I don't know what I would do without them.

I love dressing up. It's the best part of being a girl, I think.

You don't realize how hard it is to live on your own. But there's no mom to do your laundry, and make you dinner and to do things for you, and you don't think about little things like buying paper towels and salt.

If there wasn't mystery, people wouldn't have anything to ponder. If you already knew everything, you wouldn't have anything to think about and life would just be really boring.

Well, there's nothing more touching than putting a smile on a kid's face when you can.

I just never have really been the kind of person that's out in public being inappropriate, I guess. I like to have fun as much as the next person but I tend to do it in private and just hang out with close friends. If I'm going to go out, I'll just do it with my really good friends.

If I'm having a really bad day, I always have a girlfriend - or even a guy friend - who I can call. They'll listen to me wallow for a minute and then be like, 'Okay, let's stop. Everything's great. Let's figure out how to fix whatever's bothering you.'

I love summer, but my legs are so pale I can never wear shorts or a bikini.

I love vintage shopping, I think it's really fun. And I love the feeling of finding the most amazing piece for less.

I think it's important to have as many experiences as possible in life because one day you won't be able to do it anymore.

I don't think I'd be a very good talk show host. I mean, I'm very talkative but I don't know if I could do that all the time.

I want to constantly be surprising people with different roles.

I've always wanted to get into acting, ever since I was younger. I'd put on shows for my family and run around play dress-up all the time. I think I was 4 when I told them I wanted to do movies.

Stuffing is my favorite food in the world! I actually have been known to go buy stuffing and make it in the middle of summer.

When I was homeschooled, I fell so behind - months behind at school - because I'm not good at keeping up. And so I had to sit down for literally three weeks to a month and just do all of it. And it was not fun, and I didn't want to do it, but I had to.

It's always great when a director is just supportive of what you're doing. They're not so much critiquing you but giving you more ideas, giving you tons of things to work with, making you question your character and making you think about it... and making it seem like everything is limitless. That usually helps a lot.

I'm my own person, and am trying to carve out a career on my own.

I am definitely not like the hottest young actress, the most beautiful or whatever. I have my own thing going.

I just don't like talking about my relationships or anything like that, in any reference.

I only like food without color, like potatoes, bread, and pasta.

London is my favorite place in the world. I love London. I think it has the best of L.A. and New York in one, and I have a really great friend there.

There's not a lot of original ways to get attention in the press.

We Robertses have too many teeth for our mouths.

I'd love to maybe try writing. I don't know if I'd publish anything, but as a hobby, it's really nice. I bought a typewriter, and I really like to write on the typewriter sometimes. It's a fun little hobby.

It's funny, having the same name as someone. Me, Emma Watson and Emma Stone, the amount of times I've been called Emma Watson or Emma Stone is so funny. It's just 'cause we're all named Emma. None of us look alike.

Sometimes when I'm going to sleep, I think, 'Oh God, my future husband is out there somewhere and I might know him, or I might not, and I wonder what he's doing and I wonder if he knows me.' I just always think that's so fascinating, that even when you were two years old, your future husband was out there somewhere.

Because I'm very petite, I try not to wear things that have a heavy pattern because I feel like they overtake you.

I have really crooked teeth - they give me character!

I love doing kind of more kiddish-oriented movies, but I also love doing adult things. And I think it's fun to do a mix.

I read a book a week. I try to keep my mind working.

I'd love to work with Rachel McAdams, because she's a great actress.

My favorite book is 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky.

I think once you're in the friend zone, I'm not sure how you get out. Well, actually, I do know how you get out. You act like the friend back. That's how you get out.

I never ask boys' opinions on clothes, ever. I really think, unless you think the guy has style, don't ask. So I only ask my girl friends. I don't trust guys' opinions on style!

I really like Gwyneth Paltrow a lot, as far as her career, because I think she's done a lot of small movies but she's also done great, big movies, and she's a really great actress.

I'm obsessed with Nicholas Sparks. I've literally read every single book, because every time I travel, at the airport, I always buy a new Nicholas Sparks book.

I loved being on set when I was younger.

I think as you get older, you tend to think of teenagers as really young.

I would die if Woody Allen ever called and said, 'Emma, I have a role for you.'

I would like to be recognized for my style, because I love clothes.

I'd love to do a comedy like 'Bridesmaids;' I think that would be so fun. I would play the Kristen Wiig character.

I'm 5 foot 2. I wish I were 5' 6. Everyone who meets me says, 'Oh my God. You look so much taller in person.'

I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan; I would faint if I met him, let alone got to work with him.

I've only been to high school on TV and in movies. I've never actually been to high school.

New York is a fun place to shoot, but it's definitely hectic.

When I'm not working, I don't do lots of glamorous things.

I just feel like with independent movies... they're really free to do whatever they want. They're not afraid to make a statement about anything, and there's not a huge studio behind them making sure that everything is wholesome and politically correct and all that.

I like to go to parties if I know who's going to be there, and if it's people I want to be with. I don't just go to go. And I always drive myself, because I hate being stuck places - there's nothing worse that going out and then being stuck!

Studio films are really fun. You have months and months to shoot. With the smaller films you get to be on a much more intimate set and have to get things done quickly.

What is Twitter?! I don't know what Twitter is! Everyone keeps inviting me to Twitter and everyone's going on about twittering and tweeting and this whole thing, and I just don't understand it.

We had to shoot the Last Splash dance scene, and that was the song that was playing. So we probably heard that song about a hundred times, and I got back to L.A. and they asked if I wanted to sing that song.

We actually really hate each other. The first time I met Sara, I was so tired, I got off this nine- or 10-hour flight from L.A. and I walked into the production office and this girl is screaming and comes running at me and grabs me and I'm like, 'Oh my God, what's going on?

Underwater, there are arranged marriages. There's no love.

Being in the business and growing up in L.A., I think I turned out pretty OK.

I've never read a script that I've loved equally and differently to the book.

Love is not necessarily about grand gestures. It can be the little things, like someone knows you like a certain food so they pick it up for you. Stuff like that is sweet. It's little things that are nice and thoughtful that you can do every day.

Being in love is such a nice feeling,and to be able to see that feeling on-screen is just nice, especially when it's a great story.

I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan I would faint if I met him, let alone got to work with him.

I don't really care too much about Valentine's Day... I've never had a valentine or anything. I've always just spent it with my friends, so I don't really have much expectation for Valentine's Day.

No, I don't have a boyfriend, I don't want one.

My dream is to be a character in a Wes Anderson movie. I just love how interesting and eclectic and stylized his characters are, and I would love to dive into that world.

I think if you keep an open mind and actively look, you find these really great roles that you might have otherwise never even known were out there.

I don't like vegetables and most fruit.

Being in the business and growing up in L.A., I think I turned out pretty OK.

Horror movies can really go one way or the other - they can go amazingly or they can go terribly - and it's generally an extreme, in one way or the other, so you have to be very careful.

I'll be ready for my first kiss! When it happens, it'll happen, but I don't know. It doesn't look like that will be anytime soon.

Who wouldn't want to be in Scream? I was sitting on set thinking, "Aren't I supposed to be watching this movie? I don't think I'm supposed to be here." I never could have imagined myself on screen with Neve Campbell, screaming. It just didn't make sense.

I'm not in the gossips that much, but something I read recently was that me and Emma Watson are having a feud. And I've never even met her.

I always have red nail polish on my nails, so if they ever discontinue the red polish I wear from OPI, I'd be really upset.

I am the president of the sorority and I'm sure there are plenty of people I've pissed off enough to go on a killing spree.

You don't ever want to appear like you're wearing too much makeup. If you have a heavy eye and a heavy lip, people are like, 'Wow, what are you trying to cover up?'

I don't really have time [to babysit my twin cousins]. And, well, I actually have my own babysitter sometimes.

I dress for myself because when I feel good, it doesn't matter what other people say. I think it's all about confidence and the way you carry yourself that draws people to you.

Everyone has kind of done something that is bad and everyone has shades of good, but everyone has that darkness. There's always that little twinkle of darkness in everyone's eye.

I can't say I'm never going to mess up, but if I do, I'll definitely be very sorry.

Its always great when a director is just supportive of what youre doing. Theyre not so much critiquing you but giving you more ideas, giving you tons of things to work with, making you question your character and making you think about it... and making it seem like everything is limitless. That usually helps a lot.

I really care about my friends and I think I'm kind of the person who would be rounding up all the friends. I'm always getting everyone together.

I guess I haven't really done anything romantic for anyone. I think my boyfriend is more romantic than I am. I think little things like sending unexpected text messages, or when I'm out of town I send postcards. I think that's sweet... but probably not very romantic.

You can't trust actors.

I love dark chocolate. I love it.

I never not wanted to become an actress.

I've realized that you become a bully if you are just watching someone get bullied and you don't say anything. Speak up!

I'm obsessed with heels.

I love the idea of getting to play different characters and tell some stories. When you're passionate about a project, it's nice to get the part.

I'm very outgoing and social.

I've had a lot of failures as well and rejection. As actor, it's actually mostly rejection but people think it's mostly success because they only see your successes - the films that get made.

You go into this survival instinct mode, when you feel like your life is in jeopardy. I found myself in the bathroom with my taser, which I have 10 of, my panic button and my cell phone. It was the most terrifying experience I've ever had in my life

Jennifer Aniston is a genius.

When you're a teenager, you don't want to bring your emotions to the surface and talk about them. You want to push them away.

When it comes to love, always be open. Because the second youre not pining after a boy, or a boyfriend, amazing love comes into your life.
