sandra_bullock_in_style

I’m doing something completely different for this quote. I was flipping the pages of In Style March 2009 issue again. I tend to have to go through my magazines twice because there’s so much I miss the first time. I was flipping through the pages of the In Style again when I noticed a quote from Sandra Bullock, but then discovered there were at least five amazing quotes on aging well from the actress.

We’ve not seen Sandra Bullock (44, born July 26, 1964) in a while, but she’s now making the junket round to promote her new movie: “All about Steve.”

Here are my favourite Sandra Bullock beauty quotes:

“I’ve never thought about getting breast implants. I like the way clothes hang on me. I’m athletic and have plenty of booty”.

“My challenge is letting love in, because when someone loves you the right way, it’s big”.

“We all grow into the beautiful person that we’re supposed to be – some earlier, some later”.

“At 38, I said, ‘What am I doing?’ It was scary because at that point in my life, I just stopped and started from scratch. And that’s when I met my husband”.

“I don’t want to have self-doubt. Gnawing things: ‘If I were just…’ When I get that way, I say, ‘Shut up!’ Stop complaining, and look at what you have.”

I really like Sandra Bullock’s perspective on life. For a big Hollywood actress, there’s something incredibly normal, down-to-earth and approachable about her. Don’t you think?

I was flipping through the pages of Viva Magazine and I could not help but extract this part of Maria Bello’s interview because I’m a firm believer in enjoying food and avoiding the super-skinny look which I think doesn’t even look good on the catwalk – I’m the ultimate gourmande (foodie) and I’m damn proud of my non-size-zero body and curves.

I’m the product of the 1980s supermodels when women like Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Le Bon and Claudia Shiffer were size 4 to size 8 and they looked incredible and sexy AND the clothes looked as it should on their bodies. Today, the current “it” models simply look like they need to be force fed! I say BRAVO Maria … BRAVO for speaking your mind!

“In your forties, you become the person you only DARED to be in your twenties.” – Juliette Binoche (44, born March 9, 1964), French actress and spokes model for Lancôme!  (Source: More Magazine American edition, October 2008).

With that kind of attitude, it’s no wonder Lancôme Cosmetics choose Juliette as the new ambassador of Lancôme Rénergie, which is a line dedicated to women in their 40s!

“See food as pleasure, not the enemy” – British Celebrity Chef, Nigella Lawson (48, born 6 January 1960).

I truly could not agree with Nigella more. Food is such a fantastic experience and there is nothing quite like good quality food that you can enjoy with friends and family members!

- Gwyneth Paltrow (35, born September 1972).

Currently, Gwyneth is the face of Damiani Italian jewellers and Estee Lauder. She’s also part of the cast of the summer 2008 blockbuster “Iron Man” alongside Robert Downey Jr.

“The older I grow, the more I have to surrender to life.

I certainly was fearless in a more thrill-seeking way when I was younger, but now I think I’m more fearless in a letting life happen way.”

– Vanessa Williams (45, born March 1963), Viva magazine Resolutions 2007 edition.

“The most important thing about aging gracefully is to not get old in your thinking”
