Maria Menounos

Quotes

Maria Menounos

  • I am honored to be a Bond girl and be a part of the Bond legacy, To star in a video game with Connery, the original Bond, is incredible.
  • Back in the day after I won my first pageant there was an agency that was getting me work on the side.
  • A lot of people didn't realize that I acted before I did anything else.
  • There's something about taking a film from concept to script, through production, and then to see the final thing happening in the edit phase. It's almost like a miracle in the making.
  • One of the first things I did was interview the President of the United States. Some people work their whole lives and can't interview someone of that stature.
  • Integrity is integrity. I don't push it to the side because I'm talking to Julia Roberts.
  • I think people think we're all sipping martinis by the pool.
  • I think Channel One was very integral in my career.
  • I saw Red Eye, and I love being scared and on the edge of my seat.
  • I love comic book movies, and Marvel Comics obviously are the best.
  • Tim Story is a fantastic director, and I'm so excited to get to work with him.
  • The designer of my Emmy gown is donating my gown to the charity for an auction.
  • That's why charity work is very selfish at the same time, because it makes you feel good.
  • So now, cut to ten years later, and I'm making this amazing contract with Pantene. It's incredible.
  • So for me, anything that has to do with animals, and I'm a happy camper.
  • So most of my acting experience came in college when I was living away from them. I acted in various independent films, and I got some commercial work and stuff like that.
  • If you take the more general role of going to local stations around the country in Montana or South Carolina or wherever, and start in the local news, it's a lot more difficult to get to the stories that you want to really cover.
  • I'm really excited, because the character, Jules, is a really awesome character. I'm really excited to be playing her, and overall, I'm really excited to be getting back to my acting roots.
  • I know that producing will ultimately mean more longevity in the business, so when I'm tired of everything else and want to be behind the cameras, I know that I can produce.
  • You have to take control of your own career.
  • We had four different sets and built 38 flats to use as walls, so we had a major production going on. It's so much fun when you're controlling it, but it's also so much pressure.
  • The odd thing is, I don't consider what I do work, because it's what I love. But it is also an enormous amount of pressure, and you have to work an enormous amount of hours.
  • [on her recovery from a brain tumor]I'm getting stronger and stronger every day and I'll be back to normal very soon.
  • [on working at E! News]I am so grateful for the past three years at E!, I had such an amazing time co-hosting with Jason Kennedy and working everyday with the wonderful roster of talent on the show including producers, staff and crew. It was such a special, good-hearted group and one I'll always consider family. A special thank you to Frances Berwick and Adam Stotsky for all the support they have shown me through the years especially during these tough times. I will truly miss everyone and looking forward to this next chapter in my life.
