I think that dwelling on other people's perception of you is the road to complete madness, unfortunately. I try and resist that. (Kate Beckinsale)
I didn't feel very attractive as a child and actually I wasn't. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I would say probably my least favorite costume ever was in 'Van Helsing.' That was a huge pain because it had thigh-high boots with 30 buckles on them that had to be done up individually. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
Someone once said that you can make the choice between getting old and getting creepy, and I think getting old is the way to go. View quote
Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale
If I get a script that's set in the jungle it goes to the bottom of the pile because I don't think the playgrounds are going to be very good there! I'm really aware of how lucky I am but I have the kind of job where I can bring my child to work. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I think what's dangerous about being an actor who does action movies is you think, 'Well, I can totally handle myself now.' But if my opponent didn't know the other half of the routine, I don't know how well I'd do. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
The secret to everything for me is doing yoga every day. It does do nice things for your body, but it also kind of calms you down and chills you out. Other than that, I don't really drink alcohol and I always take my makeup off at night! View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I'm glad I've never been so successful that I couldn't stop doing one thing. I've kind of been able to just kick it along and switch around. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I feel like I flunked at adolescence really badly. I found it really difficult. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I feel like my brain is more geared towards a novel than it is to a movie. (Kate Beckinsale)
I would quite like to play a big concert as Freddie Mercury. I can't sing that great and I haven't yet found a use for the over large size of my teeth. I quite fancy a mustache like that and he was such a great showman. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I don't really watch all that much television, I have to say, because I'm so intimidated by how many channels there are. I really cannot find my way back to anything. But I'm compulsively addicted to '24.' I love that show. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I love my fan base because they never high-five me; they always get really shifty and hide. Adam Sandler's fan base are like, 'Hey!' and high-five him and want to hang out, but mine go behind pillars and get really freaked out. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I was a very difficult child, and the time I spent reading was about the only peace I gave my mother. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
At Oxford University, I studied languages so I could read the great novels as they were originally written. I took what in the United States would be a double major in Russian and French, but I have to admit that the pressure of getting through so many books spoiled reading for me. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
When I was pregnant, I had the romantic idea that after the baby was born I would not only take up reading in earnest again, but also write a novel while my daughter slept in her Moses basket. Of course, I barely had time to keep up with my magazines until she started sleeping properly. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I try and take lots of vitamins and I don't drink. I do smoke, though, I'd be insufferable if I didn't smoke, you'd have to push me off a balcony I'd be so boring. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I find a lot of things kind of funny and I often say what's on my mind, and then get nine texts from all my friends going, 'What's the matter with you?' But I haven't ever made a big attempt to have any particular image. And I don't really worry about it. If it's funny, I don't care. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
It's a very difficult thing losing a parent, but I think there's an added complication for me, because he was so well-loved and he had this very open charm that made people feel they had a personal relationship with him. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I don't tend to do much with my lips. My lips are naturally very pink, so if I add any more colour, it looks like I've been smacked in the mouth! (Kate Beckinsale)
This is what's sick about living in L.A. My eight-year-old daughter will point to a woman and say, 'Look! That woman's had too much Botox.' She spots them because they all look a bit like Lord Voldemort from 'Harry Potter.' View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I feel like I'm really lucky. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
Apparently, I get facials and manicures all the time. I read this and think, 'Oh, I wish I did that!' I don't think I've had a facial since I was 19. View quote
Kate Beckinsale
What's considered ideal in Hollywood is completely different than anywhere else in the world. I don't think you can aspire to it, nor can I. Everybody is retouched, stretched, lengthened, slimmed and trimmed. I could look at a picture of myself from the past and think, 'Why don't I look like that now?' It's because I never have!
