Jennifer Garner is one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, and not just because of her undeniable talent. She also happens to have a sweet and genuine personality that shines through in all of her roles, interviews, and red carpet appearances. As an A-list actress and a mom of three, Garner has her hands full! However, she always manages to carry her responsibilities with grace, kindness, and a cheerful smile.
Although Garner may no longer be “13 Going on 30,” she has both childlike optimism and grown-up wisdom in abundance. Here are some of her best quotes on beauty, parenting, and life in general that you’ll want to stick to your fridge!
1. “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?”
2. “I will tell you what I can’t abide — and I think the Internet has really created a space for it — women criticizing other women and mothers criticizing other mothers.”
3. “We all have a responsibility to volunteer somewhere and I’m lucky that I get the education and get taken to places to see what’s out there and see what’s happening and to then be a part of it in hopefully an impactful way.”
4. “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.”
5. “I try to eat in a way that makes me feel good. If that means a little bite of chocolate I do that, but I try not to use food as a reward for myself.”
6. “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.”
7. “I do think about aging. I have those moments of panic and vanity, but life keeps getting better, so you can’t worry about it too much.”
8. “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.”
9. “I mean, any time an actress gets to work with another actress, it’s like, ‘Oh, there are two of us in a movie! How are you? Let’s sit in the hair chair together!’ We’re lonely women.”
10. “Women should take care of each other, not tear each other down.”
Thanks for the words of wisdom, Jennifer Garner!
