Jennifer Garner Biography

On Pregnancy:
"I definitely gave myself the freedom to eat what I wanted. I thought, Oh, it's going to drop away; I'll have another cookie. Next time around I won't need to go quite that hog wild. I did not have a huge baby, and I was ginormous!"

On Ben Affleck:
"You know how as a kid you picture yourself with a tall, handsome husband, and you imagine him cuddling your baby? Ben is like that, like, on crack."

On fitting into designer dresses:
"I usually feel like, No matter how many girdles you put me in, you will not be able to zip this.”

On her career:
“I am as ambitious as the next working woman. I'm not going to pretend that I don't want to be good at what I do and that I don't care a lot about it, because I do. But it doesn't define me."

“I think that it's not as crazily different, my job, from anyone else's, as people let themselves believe. I think people get wrapped up in their own idea of what it is, but it's really not that.”

“You can't hide in an action scene. You can't think, "Oh, I'll halfway do this." And you can't hide in a comedy scene either. You have to give in to the scene and commit.”

On her inner child:
“I think all of us have our inner 13-year-old a lot closer to the surface than we're willing to admit even to ourselves.”
