I will always want to take breaks and I wouldn't be OK with losing that. Emma Stone realsillyopportunity You won't hear me saying I have no body issues because I wouldn't be human if I didn't.

That's more what I find painful in memory; that feeling of not even getting the chance to try and be rejected. Emma Stone feelingstryingmemories As an actor, you have to just think about the truth of your character.

As a creative person, you have to. You can't get a thick skin. Emma Stone thick-skinskinscreative One of the coolest things about being an actor is growing, and changing with everything, and never making the same decision twice because you've learned so much from the last project. I guess that's like in life. You keep moving through, and you hopefully learn from your mistakes and just get better and better all the time. Emma Stone decisionmistakemoving I have a checkered past.

Emma Stone insanetryingwater I think I was drawn to comedy originally because when I was really young, by the time I was eight I had seen movies like The Jerk, Animal House, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles with my dad, and I knew them by heart.

Emma Stone dadheartanimal I'm actively working hard on learning to appreciate yourself no matter what. If what someone else says can easily derail you, it means your sense of self isn't that firmly established in the first place. It's an inside job. You're beautiful and worthy and totally unique. People insult each other based on their own insecurities - even though it may feel personal, it really never is. Really. Seriously. Emma Stone motivationalbeautifulinspirational
