But it’s compounded by the fact that I love animals and feel better not eating them. — Kristen Bell

All girls hit that phase where they like the bad boy. I grew out of that really young and I have a wonderful guy in my life who’s not a bad boy at all. I like the satiric, consistent nice guy. — Kristen Bell

I think when there’s so much information to be eaten up, and so many ways to do it, people cling to groups. I think we, as monkeys, want to live in smaller groups. — Kristen Bell

I’ve definitely grown, and I think I’ve done enough stuff that people might look at me only as Veronica Mars. But honestly, I really don’t mind if they do. — Kristen Bell

I’m a geek who loves fashion. There’s been a reinvention of the word geek. It means being passionate about anything that’s under the radar or sort of frowned upon, like Comic–Con. — Kristen Bell

I have never felt so much good female energy around me. I find that I can’t take my eyes off them. I’m 99 percent sure I will leave this movie a lesbian. — Kristen Bell

I had a lot of insecure moments in high school. It wasn’t all peachy keen. But, I don’t necessarily think that I hated high school and wanted to crawl into a hole either. — Kristen Bell

I’ll punish you in high heels! — Sailor Mars

I’ll always be figuring out what parts I want to play, because I want to play all parts. I’m a very hungry actress. — Kristen Bell

Here’s why I like geek culture: People like what they like because they like it. They’re not trying to fit into any mainstream likes or dislikes. — Kristen Bell

I just don’t ever want to play the girlfriend. You know, the supporting character in the background who just sort of comes in and goes, ‘Oh, shucks.’ It’s just a boring character. — Kristen Bell

I won’t let you take advantage of women! Here’s the Mars Power flame of anger! — Sailor Mars

I’m very used to playing the tomboy or the sarcastic cynic. That’s my go–to. Playing the vulnerable of a real girl that’s in real womanlike situations, where it’s romanticized, I’m a little nervous about it. — Kristen Bell

As the actor, you just have to believe in what your character is doing in order to play them. — Kristen Bell

If you’re in high school, just know there is a big world out there and you can be anyone you want to be. — Kristen Bell

What was previously perceived as nerdy is now viewed as original. What I like about nerdiness, geekiness, is it doesn’t really matter what you’re into–it just means you’re not a follower. — Kristen Bell

I have the mouth of a sailor. — Kristen Bell

Something magical happened when I turned 25–I looked in the mirror and was like, ‘You might not get carded for an R–rated movie anymore.’ Like I didn’t have a little stick figure anymore. — Kristen Bell

I crave the diversity because I’m an actor and it’s more fun to play different types of characters, but I’m pretty spontaneous as well, so I don’t rule anything out. — Kristen Bell

There has to be this balance of reality for a woman. I don’t want to play women who just serve a purpose for the script. — Kristen Bell

People might look at you as super–weird, but if that’s your obsession, go for it. I do like a lot of mainstream stuff, and sometimes I also like different stuff. I tend to always root for the underdog. — Kristen Bell

I think your significant other should be way more important than your work. Personally, I love working. I don’t know that I’d say I’m a workaholic because I also love maxing and relaxing. — Kristen Bell

I’ve always idolized Amy Poehler, because I think she’s the best of the best as far as female comedy. — Kristen Bell

I can fill my cup up with real human interactions that allow me to be an actor. If I had no basis for relationships, as Kristen Bell, the human, I couldn’t be an actress. — Kristen Bell

I’m not recognized very often, and if I am, it’s a die–hard Veronica Mars fan. Which is usually flattering and an honor. I really try not to think about it. — Kristen Bell

It breaks my heart to know that millions of gay Americans still can’t marry the one they love, and I can. That makes no sense. — Kristen Bell

I would absolutely identify as a New Yorker by nature. I grew up in Detroit. There was not a bone in my body that even considered staying in Detroit for the rest of my life. — Kristen Bell

I’m not a risk taker. I don’t do plunging necklines or really short skirts. I try to stay as classy as possible and provide a little mystery. — Kristen Bell
