Jennifer Garner Teams Up With Ricky Gervais Fri, 25 April 2008
Jennifer Garner chats with costar/director Ricky Gervais as she walks back to her trailer after shooting a scene for their new movie, This Side of the Truth, on Friday in Boston, Mass.
Here are some more quotes from her Self interview:
On getting wrinkles on her face: What do you mean? That hasn’t happened yet! No, every now and then I have a moment when I look in the mirror and go ‘Yep, I’m not 22′. Like after a night when I haven’t slept, for example. You don’t think it’s going to happen, and then you hit 30! I’m not freaked out by it, but, you know, if a lotion says age-reverse, I’m more likely to use it now than ever before. Might as well reverse.
On where to vacation over the summer: I love Hawaii. We don’t go somewhere every summer, but last year we had a long vacation in Kauai. Your whole energy just downshifts to a much more mellow place there. I stay as far from the phone and Blackberry as possible. It’s good to force yourself to do that. Whenever your family takes time out to be all together, it kind of has a golden glow when you look back on it. On those sailing vacations when I was a kid, it was hot and there was no wind and we were just sitting in the middle of the bay. But even those things — in retrospect, you think, Oh, we were all together. How beautiful.
