Rebecca Romijn quotes
- I'm not for gratuitous nudity, but if there's humor, I don't have a problem.
- Luckily, I'm doing other things besides just modelling, because frankly, I'm a little bored with it.
- That's true, you don't want to let anybody down and there are millions of people who've been waiting for their favorite characters to be brought to life and you don't want to disappoint
- I'm a little top heavy, so I have to pay attention to that area. I think it was from my years of swimming in school when I was a kid and it just overdeveloped my upper body. In fact, when I started modeling, my back was so developed, I could not fit into any dresses.
- Hour-long TV is no joke. It tests you as a human being. It makes you a stronger person, but it's really crazy.
- I think life throws enough curveballs that you shouldn't make such a big deal out of everything.
- I guess I can be a little neurotic sometimes, but can't everybody?
- I've been messing around in the studio the last couple of years. But I don't want to worry about being taken seriously as a singer. It just really feels good to do it.
- I've become really good at turning down the boring, pretty girl roles, the trophy wife, supermodel, beautiful girlfriend roles. I mean, playing somebody who's perfect holds no allure for me, whatsoever. It's just boring.

- I'm a diligent person, and that came directly from having hardworking parents.
- Movie making is really, it's a director's medium, it's not even so much an actor's medium.
- I was never a girl who dreamed about what her wedding day would be like, but I've always dreamed about decorating my baby's nursery.
- I think to make any relationship work it just takes a tremendous amount of effort and accepting of one another.
- Sometimes I'm so tired, I look down at what I'm wearing, and if it's comfortable enough to sleep in, I don't even make it into my pajamas. I'm looking down, and I'm like, 'T-shirt and stretchy pants? Yup, that's fine. It's pajama-y, good night.'
- Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life.
- It's pronounced "romaine", like the lettuce.
- I don't know where it's coming from, but I think studios are finally realizing that people want to see girls who can kick butt as well as guys can.
- Aging has never been scary to me. I've always admired my mom's lines--she has a beautiful, laughter-filled face. I've always thought that was attractive.
Rebecca Romijn is a talented actress, producer, and former model with a lot to be proud of. Apart from her professional achievements, she is also a proud mother to two beautiful girls.
