I know plenty of people who don’t have children. And I also get a lot of people who say, ‘Thank you for speaking out; my family don’t understand why I don’t want kids.’ – Christina Hendricks
I dyed my hair about 42 different colours, and kids can be pretty judgmental about people who are different. But instead of breaking down and conforming, I stood firm. That is also probably why I was unhappy. – Christina Hendricks
I was a goth girl in high school. Perhaps the powdered white face and the black lipstick were not the most attractive. I felt fabulous at the time but looking back, uh, probably not the best idea. – Christina Hendricks
When I first started dating my husband, I had this weird fascination with the circus and clowns and old carnival things and sideshow freaks and all that. About a month after we started dating, he bought me this amazing black-and-white photo book on the circus in the 1930s, and I started sobbing. – Christina Hendricks
I sort of feel like ‘Mad Men’ fans are like sci-fi fans because they are very, very devoted, and they’re very loyal and very excited about it. – Christina Hendricks
Over the years, it seems ‘Firefly’ has only gained momentum rather than lost it. I still get letters from people who watched the show – I get more ‘Firefly’ than ‘Mad Men’ letters. – Christina Hendricks
We have defined these characters – people always expect to see me in a pencil skirt. When they see me out of one – much like when they see Jon Hamm’s hair when it isn’t slick – they say, ‘Wait a minute, you’re all 2010!’ – Christina Hendricks
Anytime someone talks about your figure constantly, you get nervous; you get really self-conscious. – Christina Hendricks
Everyone assumes we’re always going to have a cocktail and a cigarette in hand. Fans expect us all to be dressed up all the time. They always say to me, ‘You look so young. You don’t seem as tall!’ – Christina Hendricks
My mother never said to lose weight. Diets were never a big deal. My mom was always beautiful and voluptuous and curvy, and I always thought she was gorgeous. – Christina Hendricks
I was a dancer until I was 19. I never had to worry about working out or what I ate. So I’ve really had to train myself to get down to the gym. – Christina Hendricks
I have a problem keeping my mouth shut. I usually speak my mind. I’m trying to learn my lesson. – Christina Hendricks
I adore the incredibly tight clothing! My own wardobe’s changed – I’ve streamlined a little bit and definitely learnt from Joan’s sleekiness and tailoring. – Christina Hendricks
My parents didn’t exercise, so it was not something I saw was good for you or fun. I wish I had grown up knowing to do that. – Christina Hendricks
I would hope that people didn’t think I was anything like Joan! It’s very hard for me because Joan says such cruel things all the time. It sort of makes me cringe every time I read them because I think, ‘Who could be so horrible?’ To be able to deliver those lines and do them with a coolness, yet still make her likable, is a bit of a challenge. – Christina Hendricks
It just seemed so odd as people had never commented on my body before. Every woman obsesses over her figure, but I was happy, I felt sexy – I never thought about it. I know this sounds naive, but I honestly never expected this kind of attention. – Christina Hendricks
Back when I was modeling, the first time I went to Italy, I was having cappuccinos every day, and I gained 15 pounds. And I felt gorgeous! I would take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like, ‘Oh, I look like a woman.’ And I felt beautiful, and I never tried to lose it, ’cause I loved it. – Christina Hendricks
I met a lot of young girls modelling and they were like, ‘Oh, I’m running around town and people are taking my picture’, while I was saving receipts and learning how to be self-employed. – Christina Hendricks
I like salty, creamy foods. I could sit down with a bag of chips and French onion dip and go to town! That would be on my last-supper list. – Christina Hendricks
Getting to wear beautiful fashion is the most fun part of the job that has nothing to do with the job. – Christina Hendricks
If I get any private time in my trailer, all of a sudden I’m doing sit-ups and push-ups. – Christina Hendricks
When the attention started to be about my figure, I was surprised, because it wasn’t something I was focused on. – Christina Hendricks
