Quotes

Jennifer: (in 2008 about her daughter) Ben and I try very hard not to talk about Violet to the press. We don't want to give the paparazzi any power. They really invade your kid's space. I tell them, "Please don't put your cameras in her face," and they don't care. My kid doesn't belong in magazines. She's two! People recognize her in a different state when she's with someone who's not me. They say, "Oh, that's Violet Affleck." That's not okay with me. (edit)
Jennifer: (On getting her ears pierced for the 2006 Oscars) A couple of months before the ceremony, I went to pick out the jewelry I'd be wearing on the night. I picked out the diamond cuff and the hair clip, and then they showed me the most gorgeous pair of earrings I'd ever seen. It wasn't until I came to try them on that I realized they'd forgotten I didn't have pierced ears. They could see how much I loved them, and how disappointed I was that I couldn't wear them, so they said that, if I really wanted to, they could pierce my ears for me there and then. That would give them enough time to heal before the ceremony, and I could then wear the earrings. And I really did want to wear those earrings, so I said 'OK', and they pierced my ears for me before I left the boutique. It felt a bit odd to have them done, although I did have them pierced for a couple of weeks a few years back for a movie I was in, but it was worth it because I knew it meant I'd be wearing those fabulous earrings to the ceremony. (edit)
Jennifer: I don't know anyone who was never a geek, really, when they look at their own lives. I think that from the outside looking in, you think that you weren't necessarily a tragic geek, but yes, you did lean in that direction. (edit)
Jennifer: (about daughter Violet) It's very important to us that she remains a kid. If she wants to do theater someday, okay, but as for doing it for a living, that's not a kid's job. (edit)
Jennifer: (about Britney Spears) After watching her performance on the 2007 VMA's, I wanted to just go and... I don't know, mother her. (edit)
