Leighton Meester Quotations

I just go at my own pace and I like control of the TV and I like to decide when I take a shower and wash the dishes and stuff like that. So I don't know who would want to live with me to be honest!

I think you have to know how you feel when you're sad and it's healthy to mourn if a relationship ends.

Daily life shouldn't be a fashion show all the time.

I look up to my mom. She's a beautiful woman.

I've never been crazy. I'm a very good girl, to be honest. I don't do anything to hurt anybody.

Even when people are so judgmental about what you wear or your weight you just have to step away and be like, 'I'm a normal, fine human being.'

When I do get free time, I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends and I think that's what keeps me happy, healthy, grounded, and totally in check.

I used to drink tons of caffeine. Now I make smoothies with frozen berries and Green Vibrance health powder.

I've never fallen in love right off the bat. I get scared to say I love you too soon because it means so much. It means you're not seeing an end to things.

I love my parents very much, but people either continue or break the patterns of what their life should be and I just want to completely break whatever patterns would lead me to the same life choices that they made.

The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can't just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don't know them. It's the same thing with a relationship.

If you get a wrinkle, I don't feel that's indicative of your losing ground. That's ridiculous.

When I'm singing a song, I picture somebody in particular. A lot of it is to a guy.

Singing really is acting. In a lot of ways, it's much more personal. I love music, and being able to work on that is amazing.

You can take what is handed to you and use it as an excuse to mess up. But I've always handled what was given to me by life. I consider myself lucky. I was never lied to. And I was loved.

I couldn't relate to kid stuff. 'Jimmy doesn't like me!' Who cares? I was worried we didn't have gas money or food. Those were my concerns.

I like to be judged by my family and friends because they know me.

Any fear of aging, I think, is simply vanity.

The only time a relationship is good is when you really love them.

I grew up reading 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice' - girly kind of books.

I really like to be able to have variety and to try different things - that's the beauty of fashion.

Sometimes you're a little too close for comfort, and I think anybody can relate to that, whether you're in college or just moving out on your own.

You know how you're supposed to choose between playing up your eyes or your lips? I always choose lips. I love the drama.

I always change my hair, but I don't like haircuts!

I don't want to have a friend unless I can call them one of my best friends.

I feel like my friends are in a cult because we're like, 'No outsiders!

I never wear makeup when I'm not at work. It can make you forget what you look like, and I've grown to really love the way I look without it.

I want an identity outside of my work.

I remember looking through magazines or watching movies even just a couple of years ago and being like, 'I really want to be part of that,' but not realizing what that was.

It's wonderful to be in love. And it's definitely wonderful to cuddle and have sex and get to experience life with somebody. But it's OK if you don't find him and you're 24. You can find it someday.

I believe in love, children and being a good person.

I'm a grown woman and sometimes, I might be a little fat, you know? Am I alone there? Not really.

I feel more mature than most people my age.

I love Edith Wharton. And I love old New York. Anything to do with New York.

People are pretty respectful for the most part.

I had a bunch of different hair colors. I was experimenting to see what I liked. It started off brown, then I did red, then I got really, really blonde!

In this world, everyone wants to know everything about you, and I think that's funny.

A nutritionist helps me eat healthily at home.

Guys who are unavailable are actually a dream come true for me because I'm unavailable all the time. It's great they're not down your throat.

When you see how you react when you suffer that's when you know what you are made of.

High school for me was not all that fun. I think it's a lot more fun after when you realize that high school ends, and everything that's important at that time is sort of not important if people don't like your jeans or whatever. It doesn't matter.

I haven't ever really relied on relationships with guys. They come around and it's cool, but it's never been a big thing. I guess I've just been really distracted by work.

I've gotten to wear such beautiful clothes and had such a variety and it's just been so nice because I feel like I've grown so much with my style and everything because I've been able to have fun with it. It's really fun for me.

Just have a little bit of something that you want. Don't overdo it.

Forgive thyself little, and others much.

I used to buy everything at garage sales. It was hard to give up! I’d be like, ‘But this crazy sweater is amazing, and it only cost 25 cents!’

It'll be kids next. I like the grown-up stuff. I like having a house. I've got dogs.

Success to me is being happy, truly fulfilled, being proud of myself, and doing different things all the time.

I really like those days when I can just wear sweatpants, to be honest. And when I'm actually going to go somewhere, I like to be comfortable and casual. If I'm doing something a little more fashion, going a little bit further. It's about expressing yourself and being comfortable and wearing what you like.

Being a feminist simply means you believe in equal rights, and I think if you ask anybody if they believe in equal rights, they'll say yes, man or woman. And if they don't - who the heck would say that?

I don't want to pursue someone at all - I want someone to pursue me.

My inspiration is life. My family, my friends, travelling, books, music, love, food, fashion. What inspires you?

I want to be myself. That's when you feel the most comfortable, that's when you have the most success, and that's when you're the most happy.
