    Emma Stone’s Personal Quotes

    I think this is a wonderful time for women. I think the tide is turning, and there are so many brave, authentic, strong, funny, vulnerable and exciting women in every industry right now.


    I was a good-looking kid. I never felt, like, dorky. I was just like, ‘Yup, these are my braces. I’ve had them forever.’


    Just because I don’t have a college degree doesn’t mean I am not smart!


    When I was 14 -years-old, I made this PowerPoint presentation, and I invited my parents into my room and gave them popcorn. It was called ‘Project Hollywood 2004’ and it worked. I moved to L.A. in January of 2004.


    Flaws are my favourite part of people, usually.


    You’re a human being—you live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damn red velvet cupcake.


    I won’t make a bucket list because I’m so afraid that I’ll die and then people will find my bucket list and be like, ‘Oh, she didn’t get to do that….’ There is stuff that I’d like to do or experience but nothing that would crush me if it didn’t happen.


    If I feel strongly about anything, I get overwhelmed with emotion.


    In general, I get nervous when I do print interviews because I know that whatever I say is going to be shown through the lens of whomever I’m talking to.


    I think the number one thing that I find important is the importance of honesty with your friends and your parents, if you can be. But I think that telling people how you really feel, being who you truly are, being safe and taking care of yourself is the most important thing.


    When I look back, I don’t have regrets. In the moment I am really, really hard on myself, I’m definitely my own worst critic and can be my own worst enemy, and I’m trying very hard not to be that.


    Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops.


    I think there are plenty of soulmates out there. That’s what I choose to believe.


    I’ve read a lot of different versions of myself – and all of them are true because it’s all opinion, and they’re as accurate as it can ever be. But I don’t think that I’ve been deft at hiding parts of my personality.
