Scarlett Johansson of Black Widow fame and many more acclaimed films, celebrates her 35th birthday today and here are some inspiring quotes by the actor-singer.
“I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.”
“If you feel glamorous, you definitely look glamorous.”
“I have always... expected a lot from myself.”
“Just because I'm the top-grossing actress of all time does not mean I'm the highest paid. I've had to fight for everything that I have. It's such a fickle and political industry.”
“I'm just a big believer in 'you must love yourself before you can love anybody else,' and I think for me that breeds the most inspired relationships.”
“It is important to remind young people that peace is the only victory.”
“You have to believe that you can act and that you're the right person for the job but I think it's good to not always know how you're going to do it. The fun part is trying to figure it out.”
“It's important not to lose who you are in a relationship just because it's nice to cuddle with somebody.”
“I always feel like I have to prove myself as an actor, otherwise you get lazy if you're not slightly terrified that you're going to fail all the time.”
“Different things work for different people. One thing I've realised, though, is that the work that I've done on myself outside of my work as an actress has really allowed me to open up my mind. I think I understand my emotional state and my complexities now in a much clearer way, and I can put them to rest in a way that there's almost a catharsis that happens through the work, where I can do it and then find myself again.”
