I don’t do what I love to do a lot of the time. — Emma Stone

I have been so deeply, profoundly lucky to have friends in my life that have always just loved me exactly as I am no matter what time period I’m in. — Emma Stone

That old question about whether, as a woman, you can be funny and attractive at the same time. Argh! I hate that question. Of course you can. — Emma Stone

I know that when you’re a teenager–sometimes when you’re an adult–what sets you apart can sometimes feel like a burden and it’s not. And a lot of the time, it’s what makes you great. — Emma Stone

That balance of love for your work and love in your life is an interesting thing. — Emma Stone

Between work and your kids and your spouse or whatever situation you have in your life. I think balancing all of that seems to be a huge situation. — Emma Stone

So anyway, I’ve learned a lot about myself just in terms of acting but just work ethic and interesting things like full–page monologues or talking straight into camera, which I had never gotten to do before. — Emma Stone

Being able to work on projects that I love and care about has been the greatest gift ever, and that’s been a pretty recent thing in my life. But success for me at some point will probably be having a family. — Emma Stone

I try to do a lot of yoga and meditation. I think now it’s creating things in times of waiting. — Emma Stone

Even when your dream that you set out comes true, it’s not always perfect, and there isn’t always the kiss at the end, and we all get to live happily ever after. That’s not the reality of life. — Emma Stone

You’re only human. You live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damned red velvet cupcake. — Emma Stone

I’m not a brain surgeon, I’m not saving anyone from any life–threatening illnesses. But I get to tell stories, and that’s a pretty important task. — Emma Stone

You have to have a thin skin. As a creative person, you have to. You can’t get a thick skin. — Emma Stone

The only movie I can watch on a loop, over and over, is ‘Help’, the Beatles movie. It’s so funny and irreverent and great. — Emma Stone

My favorite thing about movies is the ending and so all my favorite movies have really great endings. — Emma Stone

The last thing in the world my parents would want to do is get on a stage or do a movie. They would probably rather die. But they let me be who I was, and they supported me. — Emma Stone

I have dreams of being a producer, being behind a camera, eating seven tacos for every meal, and making movies that affect people the way they affect me. I don’t even need to be in them. — Emma Stone
