Garner: "The rule with marriage is the less you talk about it the better, as far as I can tell."

Garner: "My mother is a big believer in being responsible for your own happiness. She always talked about finding joy in small moments and insisted that we stop and take in the beauty of an ordinary day. When I stop the car to make my kids really see a sunset, I hear my mother's voice and smile."

Garner: "I am the model middle child. I am patient and I like to take care of everyone. Being called nice is a compliment. It's not a boring way to describe me."

Garner: "I thought the divorce statistics would never apply to me. I was beyond heartbroken when they did. But I got up and got on with it. I also kept my belief in marriage."

Garner: "I have a great deal of respect for any women that will enter the world of little boys of sports."

Garner: "It's about getting the kids up and fed, getting one to school, getting the other down for a nap, going to the grocery store, picking one up from school, getting the other one down for another nap, cooking dinner... I live my life at these two extremes. I'm either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress."

Garner: "The outside world can be very tough."

Garner: "I know I live a charmed, beautiful life and nobody wants to hear a celebrity whine. The last thing I want to do is complain; I love what I do and I know every job comes with a downside."

Garner: "Well, you can't be trying to achieve success of any kind in this business without accepting that there's going to be a flip side to it."

Garner: "My parents came from a poor background and worked their way up because of education. They saw it as a way to succeed. So they cared about me getting straight A grades when I was growing up."

Garner: "You can do a lot with Scotch tape. Almost anything! I love that you can hem a dress, and its an instant remedy in a fashion crises."

Garner: "I danced six hours a day. My cross to bear is that my children have no interest in ballet. I think they could smell how much I wanted to put their hair in a bun."

Garner: "I'm privileged, because I have a lot of freedom. I want to use it to make as warm and normal a life as I can for our daughters."

Garner: "The last thing I want to do is complain; I love what I do, and I know every job comes with a downside. But boy, this one's a doozy...You pull out of your driveway, and the paparazzi literally chase you, running red lights - I'm a really careful driver, especially with my kids in the car, but I worry they're going to cause an accident."

Garner: "You stick to the script, the script is Bible."

Garner: "I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be."

Garner: "There's an internal battle. I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids and the kids win."

Garner: "I think that it's not as crazily different, my job, from anyone else's, as people let themselves believe. I think people get wrapped up in their own idea of what it is, but it's really not that."

Garner: "Growing up where I did, the thought of working on a television show or in a movie... that existed on a parallel plane, you know?"

Garner: "I always, always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that, when I got a mini-series, I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob."

Garner: "My world was a community ballet school, a marching band, my two sisters and my girlfriends. I played saxophone in the band and was a bit nerdy."

Garner: "I would roll up pennies to take the subway to work in Times Square. I was broke, but I was happy."

Garner: "Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places, and your frown lines aren't too bad, what more do you need?"
