Alicia Silverstone's Quotes

• I don't feel like a dream girl, but I think it's really nice. I guess a part of me wishes I got that sort of attention in my real life. Because in my real life, I'm this weird, dorky girl who just hangs out with her dog.
• I hate people to call me 'that Aerosmith chick!'
• I think that Clueless (1995) was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness.
• "My boyfriend calls me 'princess', but I think of myself more along the lines of 'monkey' and 'retard'".
• [on her 'chocolate is better than sex' quote] I was interviewed when I was 17 and I didn't actually say that. It was the worst piece of journalism that I've ever been involved with.
