I’ve never gone on a date… If I’ve ever had a man in my life, it’s because I know him well, and he really means something to me. – Blake Lively
So, it’s cool that, yes, Hal Jordan is a superhero, but my character is a real-world hero in her own life. – Blake Lively
It is hard that people don’t just let you do your job for them and entertain, and then carry on your own life. – Blake Lively
I’ll never forget the time my mother showed up with her best friend and two daughters, and all four of us dressed up in matching clothes, shoes and hats to go pick up my brother from school. I thought it was a fun thing to do, but we stepped outside my brother’s school and he was mortified! – Blake Lively
I was in a show choir. I can’t sing or dance to save my life, but I was very passionate. People said my parents paid the choir director to let me in. It was actually the parents who started that one! – Blake Lively
I have a strong sense of myself. That gives me a sense of security, you know? If I define myself by things that are always changing, like the public’s opinion, or what I’m wearing, or what job I’m doing, there’s no stability in that. – Blake Lively
There are looks that I see on other people that I think would look horrible on me, but I think if somebody has the courage to be really daring and try something outlandish, then more power to them. That’s just encouraging and inspiring. – Blake Lively
When I have bad days, I just eat lots of chocolate ice cream and dance to the ‘Lion King’ soundtrack. It’s really odd, but it’s true. – Blake Lively
People gossip. People are insecure, so they talk about other people so that they won’t be talked about. They point out flaws in other people to make them feel good about themselves. I think at any age or any social class, that’s present. – Blake Lively
I never really cook from recipes. But the worst is when something turns out great and I can’t figure out how to make it again! – Blake Lively
In the olden days, a couple could be in every movie together, but it’s just not like that anymore. – Blake Lively
I always like hair being a little messy because I think there’s something appealing about the whimsy of putting on a gown with any hair or make-up – just stepping into it, and you’re ready. – Blake Lively
I’ll go to an event wearing some designer gown and tens of thousands of dollars in jewels that were lent to me for the night, and I’ll walk around and meet people who I always thought were such a big deal. – Blake Lively
People say, ‘Well, whose career do you follow? Where do you see your career going? What movie do you want to do next?’ And I can’t tell you what type of movie I would go and do next. I would have to read the script and feel for a character. And if I feel in my gut for a character, I know that that’s somebody I have to play. – Blake Lively
I went straight from high school to ‘Gossip Girl,’ and both were very structured, scheduled environments, so I never had freedom to explore and carve my own path. – Blake Lively
You can learn a lot from criticism if you can take what’s constructive out of it. If you read a review that starts with, ‘This person is an idiot; who do they think they are?’, you’re not going to learn anything from that. – Blake Lively
I’ve been so lucky to work with such great people: people that are such hard workers and have such a respect and appreciation for one another. – Blake Lively
My first child is going to be the oldest sibling to the next kid, and that may change with each and every year. I’m looking forward to how one baby influences the other, and to my family as a whole, to every single chapter. – Blake Lively
My mom and dad always taught acting, so instead of getting me babysitters, they would just bring me to class. – Blake Lively
One of the very few things that I do every single day is put on fragrance. If I’m not wearing make-up, if my hair’s not done, if I’m walking around in pyjamas – I still put my fragrance on. I will brush my teeth and put on my perfume. – Blake Lively
I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it’s the best way to get to know a culture. – Blake Lively
