Quotes |
Family about Julia:
"We had a snowmobile and we'd go into all the black neighbourhoods. Julia would still be in her stroller, and i can still see kids coming up and stroking her soft hair," Betty Lou Roberts (Mom)
"We had no teen horror stories in our family. The kids were very easy," Betty Lou Roberts (Mom)
""I have a very famous sister and we have very different feelings about our parents. My feelings about our mother are 1oo percent negative. Hers are not. And I don't want to have a war with her ... I like Julia. I think she's an OK little broad. Although I don't know her anymore and she certainly doesn't know me," Eric Roberts (Brother)
"Brother and sister don't hang out, but there's a basic love there and they respect each other as artists. With a little more communication and understanding, everything will be fine.'' Eliza Roberts (Ex- Sister in law), talking about Eric and Julia.
"Julie is on my mom's side in every family squabble. My mother and I do not get along. So, Julie and I don't get a long. But I love her. I'll always love Julie. I think insecurities that she's just now coming to terms with can be traced back to her tough childhood, where none of us got enough love." Eric Roberts (brother)
"The old Julie was always concerned about making impressions, I understand that she's really selfconfident these days. Good for her. Must be the result of hard work on herself." Eric Roberts (brother)
Her costars have called her "genuine," "good and kind," and "amazing and incredible."
When she enters a room," said the screenwriter for one of her films, "it´s like somebody just turned up the lights. And it gets a little dimmer when she leaves."
"She´s an original, in a category all to herself," said one director, "which probably helps to explain how she´s captured everyone´s attention so quickly."
Because she was outgoing, Julia made many friends. "You want to really know what I remember about Julia?" said one friend. "She had this incredible hyena-like laugh. The whole class would have stop to let her get it out of her system."
Another friend remembered Julia´s early acting attemps. "When we got bored", said her friend, "Jules could be real creative. She could muster up tears in a second to get out of homeroom, and I´d have to follow her out to help her."
"Regular gifts or invitations to visit her are expressions of Julia´s love for her younger sister." random quote about how Julia treats her younger half- sister sister Nancy!!!
Julia about herself and her family:
"I think I´m loud and weird," said Julia Roberts
"The workshop purpose had nothing to do with money or recognation," explained Julia, "it was about acting, performing." Some of Julia´s earliest memories are of "just being a little kid and watching my parents do plays in the park."
"I wasn´t great at anything," recalled Julia, "just a middle of the road, basic kid."
"The school had a handfuls of really great teachers," said Julia, "and I started getting more and more interested in writing, with some encouragement."
"I had a great relationship with my dad," Julia recalled. "Nothing intellectuel, just really caring and fun. I miss my dad."
"It was just a kind of there in my mind all the time," said Julia.
"... my parents never got rich and they never got famous, but they showed me that you do things for a purpose." Julia about Mom.
"I bought my mother a car. But I've never done anything for my mom that was for sake of extravagance. If I supply her with anything, it's things that she needs. I could buy her a diamond necklace, but she needs a washing machine. And I think that it's really just a matter of doing for her a little bit of what she did for me for 17 years. It's just taking care." Julia about Mom
"...my older sister was always the one I'd turn to in crisis or need or curiosity..." Julia about Lisa
"Lisa really cushioned a lot of things for me. I always considered her fearless. When we were kids I always thought she would protect me if I was scared. And at seventeen, in New York, it was the same thing." Julia about Lisa
"Sometimes I say things, and I think, ´I sound just like my mother´. But that´s probably more because I grew up with her than because I´m really actually like her. My dad died so young, but I sense I´m more like him". Julia about her Dad
"He was a great dad, and I think that my experience of him as a dad was only one of many children whom he treated in that respect..." Julia about her Dad
"... And I miss my father and I would give anything to have him here, but I also like my life and I´m happy with my life. This way, we got away with the relationship where we never had a fight, he never let me down, he never didn´t show up for something that I was doing, never forgot my birthday. It worked out the way I did... which I guess - since it´s the way it is - is perfect." Julia about Dad
"...The weird thing about my father's death was that while it was initially this horrible, terrible thing that has happened, it becomes, with the passing of time, less and less of an ever-present tragedy and the almost becomes normal. That's interesting is how aptly harmonious you can become with something so tragic. But that's what you do. That's what I do." Julia about Dad's death
"I think he has strongly influenced the look I wear into things. Sometimes, when I think about things that are not like me, I get the impression that I have my father's brain in my head. His influence is always there." Julia about Dad
"I feel like I've put a lot of effort into fixing it. I don't know what else to say. It's not like no effort has ever been put into his on my side to make this better, but my efforts have come to naught over time, and you get to a place where you're at peace with the fact that you're not smart enough to fix something that you don't really understand. I mean, I read somewhere that Eric said lack of our relationship is a direct result of my being pissed off because he insulted my hair." Julia about Eric (Brother)
Random Quotes:
"It's Christmas when I'm six, and we're very poor. I'm in love with Matchbox cars, and we're in Rich's, a big Atlanta chain. I see a car I'd die for. Dad can't afford to buy it, which somehow makes me feel OK. Then we go home and he opens his hand - and there's that Matchbox car. I knew he stole it. But it was a love theft." Eric about his father.
Personal quotes from Julia about anything:
"I enjoy hats. And when one has filthy hair, that is a good accessory."
"I'm too tall to be a girl, I never had enough dresses to be a lady, I wouldn't call myself a woman. I'd say I'm somewhere between a chick and a broad."

(From 1998 interview) "I've sort of grown into my cuteness."

"It doesn't bring out the Einstein moment that you hoped it would."-- Julia Roberts, on forgetting to include the real-life Erin Brockovich in her Academy Award acceptance speech.

"You can be true to the character all you want, but you've go to go home with yourself."
"The first time I felt I was famous was when I went to the movies with my mom. I had gone to the loo, and someone in the bathroom said in a very loud voice, 'Girl in stall No. 1 were you in "Mystic Pizza"? I paused and I said, yeah that was me." - (People Magazine 8/22/99)
