ROBIN WRIGHT

If you're happy, if you're feeling good, then nothing else matters.

You're never going to be able to delve into the character traits of a Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton.

I can't stop moving. I'm like this weird insect. I can't sit still in real life.

Hollywood is a suction for your confidence or your faith or your togetherness. Just walking on the street you can feel it.

I learned about men from my son.

I always wanted to get out of L.A., but time passes, and you find excuses to stay.

I think we manifest the very thing we put out. If you're putting out negativity, then you're going to retrieve that same sentiment. If you emanate joy, it comes back to you.

I can't imagine having long hair anymore; it's weird.

If you get enough sleep, cut back on cigarettes and red meat, you look better the next day.

No nude scenes. No sex-symbol parts. I want people to recognize me for my work, not just for being pretty.

The best part of shooting 'House of Cards' in Baltimore is eating lots of soft-shell crab.

My mother gave me a sense of independence, a sense of total confidence that we could do whatever it was we set out to do. That's how we were raised.

My favorite designers are Levi Strauss and Fruit of the Loom.

If you're the head of a business, there's a protocol that people have to follow.

I grew up very fast as a young girl, but I grew slowly into my womanhood.

You have to do the work in your marriage, but it has to be laid on a strong foundation of love.

It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that.

We really enjoy entertaining our children with characters. We'll act out all of The Wizard of Oz together.

Electronics companies are purchasing the minerals that come out of the Eastern Congo, and they are illicit; they're dirty.

I want to be perfect. I don't want to fail. And you always fail.

I'd rather attempt something I'm not sure I can do.

Most of my memories of Texas are of mosquitoes, watermelons, crickets, and my brother teasing me.

Sometimes I think they should set up an asylum for people like that... a whole slew of paparazzi defending their positions.

When I had money in the past, I would always travel rather than spend it on big apartments or cars. And I still feel exactly the same way.

I would have made a lousy stripper. I'm just not very comfortable exposing myself.
