More quotes by Jennifer Connelly

It wasn’t until my late twenties that I realised acting could be a creative experience.

You have to do it. You can't keep thinking about it, you just sort of surrender to it, especially when you get the opportunity to work with great actors.

Lots of other people have won Oscars, too, and there are a lot of talented women my age working who could play the roles I go after just as well.

I don't really have a vested interest in what they do career-wise, so long as it's neither destructive to their bodies nor illegal. And hopefully not destructive to other people's bodies either.

I'd like both of my kids to remain kids as long as possible until they actually have to become grown-ups, so I prefer none of them become professionals before adulthood.
