Selma Blair

I put my foot in my mouth every time I'm interviewed.

I'm flatchested, I'm short, I'm brunette, I have droopy eyes, and so people have a hard time casting me as a 'beauty.'

I'm open to anything. I would love to play someone completely off the wall.

The problem with paparazzi is that it makes you question your boundaries, like, how do I say, 'That's enough guys?'

I can't afford security. I can't afford a gated house. So, I feel a little vulnerable. I wish some laws would come into play.

My sister, I have a sister who's 12 years older, she was always the party girl, the outrageous one.

I'm one of those hovering mothers and I know it's really important to have an independent child, so I'm trying to back off, but it's hard. I love him so much, and he's so funny and cute to me.

I think getting married gave me a focus. It gave me a focus and direction I want to have in my life. And I think having another person that you make such a purposeful bond with has given me the opportunity to see how that can be with all the other aspects of my life.

I don't like slugs and tentacles and calamari or anything. Actually, tentacles made me turn into a vegetarian in high school. I'm not anymore, but in high school, we were dissecting squid.

My mother dressed me always very conservatively.

I think we all feel like misfits when we open our mouth sometimes, you know?

I go from being hugely hopeful and entertaining to... really not. I'm not manic depressive, but I can really go to the darker side.

I went through a period of pulling away from everything - acting, people - not sure if I would ever have a voice in this business.

I think it's been confusing for people because I haven't had a linear career.

I'm a working actress able to make choices based on characters rather than what I 'should' do for my career.

I used to wear a lot of red lipstick, and when I got a pimple, I'd cover it up with eyeliner to turn it into a beauty mark.

I think I'm more approachable with long hair. When it's short, I come across as being artsy and weird.

In high school I would mess with my hair and makeup all the time.

I have no fears when it comes to my hair or clothes.

It's fun to play mom. Last I knew I was playing a 17-year-old who graduated.
