Brooke Shields Quotes

• I’m not enamored by fame. I don’t covet it, the way someone who’s anonymous wants it, and then their life changes. This has always been my life. You don’t romanticize it when you’ve seen the underbelly of it, when you’ve seen rejection, the games, the way self-esteem is challenged and threatened. It’s an industry that’s predicated on knocking people down. Only the strong survive. (2007)
• Don’t waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window – or break down a door. Woman’s World (3-14-06)
• Princeton gave me something that can never be taken away from me. It taught me how to think.
• “I’ve never found therapy to be a sign of weakness; I’ve found the opposite to be true. The willingness to have a mirror held up to you definitely requires strength.” (2005)
• “Honesty is the quality I value most in a friend. Not bluntness, but honesty with compassion.” (2005)
• “I’ve never been naturally fashion conscious. I’m the kind of person who sees a whole outfit in a magazine, runs out and buys it but looks like a clown. I’m not like Gwyneth and all those fashion-savvy girls, although someone told me they all have stylists.” (2005)
• “Smoking kills. If you’re killed, you’ve lost a very important part of your life.” (1982)
• On the May 26th, 2005 edition of Access Hollywood (1996), Tom Cruise criticized her career and her “misguided” use of the “dangerous” anti-depressant, Paxil, to treat her postpartum depression. He also said that the best treatment option for women experiencing postpartum depression is vitamins. She responded by saying, “Tom Cruise’s comments are irresponsible and dangerous. Tom should stick to saving the world from aliens and let women who are experiencing postpartum depression decide what treatment options are best for them”.
• Being nice to everybody, saying hello to everyone in the room, signing every autograph; it was instilled in me at a very young age that this was what I was suppose to do. But I don’t think it helps at all. I see more people who are rude or arrogant being rewarded – but, this way, I can put my head on the pillow at night. I can look at my child and know that, to my daughter, I’m the best example I can possibly be. (2005)
• After 9/11, I am proud to live downtown. There’s something slightly defiant about living down here. (2004)
• People think of me as a mannequin, all show and no substance.
• “I’m always amazed when people assume things about me – that foul language must upset me, or someone’s being gay must upset me. They think, ‘O-o-oh, she’s the most celebrated virgin.’ And really, I was surrounded by such an eclectic group of people my whole life.” (2000)
• “I’m so naive about finances. Once when my mother mentioned an amount and I realized I didn’t understand, she had to explain: ‘That’s like three Mercedes.’ Then I understood.” (1981)
• Brooke’s joking comment on her TV commercials for jeans: “If my jeans could talk, I’d be ruined.” (1980)
