Gwyneth Paltrow Net Worth

Gwyneth Paltrow's Quotes

• Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.
• [on her father's (Bruce Paltrow's) struggle with throat cancer] It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that.
• [on her 1997 separation with Brad Pitt] It really changed my life. When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same.
• I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring and it's not about the wedding. It's a grave thing, getting married. And it's easy to get swept up in the wrong things.
• I find Sex and the City (1998) irreverent and shocking. It's one step beyond how girls really talk. I would do a cameo on that show in a flash.
