Quote by Ginnifer Goodwin

“I was afraid that my success would be dependent partially upon my body, and it's true I can't be 20 pounds heavier and play the leading lady. But I'm on the smaller end of an average-sized woman. I'm positive of this, mathematically. And I still get to play the lead, without having to be anorexic like so many of my peers.”

“One time I had too many Heinekens and I googled myself and realized that that was a very, very bad combination. One should not google oneself. My mother lets me know when I'm being followed by paparazzi. She's like, "There's a man who is outside your house, Ginny, and you need to be logging onto this website to see if you can find a pattern in when he follows you." But otherwise, I can't find any good reason to read my own press.”
