Becki Newton Quotes

When I read the ‘Ugly Betty’ pilot, I thought, ‘Oh, this part’s funny.’ I said to my husband, ‘I’m going to get it!’ But based on what? All my exquisite comedic work in a Nike commercial? Picture Quote #1

I read fashion magazines all the time. It’s fun, but I don’t take it very seriously Picture Quote #1

I keep my perfume in the fridge. If someone sees me in the morning pushing aside the eggs to grab my perfume, it might look a little odd, but it’s so refreshing to spray cold fragrance on your skin Picture Quote #1

Glamour is fun! Spending time to get ready isn’t about being fussy; it’s about taking care of myself Picture Quote #1

After leaving school, I travelled around Europe for about six months. In Denmark, I thought that was my chance to get an amazing haircut, so I went to what I thought was a great hairdresser. It turned out to be the car wash of hairdressers, and I walked out sporting yet another pudding bowl, but this time with a stripe bleached down the centre Picture Quote #1

My husband is in charge of all phone, email and texting duties at home. He even has to turn on the TV and air conditioning because I’m so hopeless with technology Picture Quote #1

Normally, it’s one or the other - a pretty, straight woman or a more charactery woman who isn’t supposed to be attractive. But women like Tina Fey are leading the charge on being both. You can be funny and attractive Picture Quote #1

In N.Y.C., I auditioned for mostly ‘quirky friend’ roles. Since casting directors in L.A. lacked a preconceived notion of me, I was able to reinvent my type a bit, which was essential in booking the role of Amanda on ‘Ugly Betty.’ I don’t believe I would have auditioned for that role in N.Y Picture Quote #1

I’m not afraid to go completely over the top. A lot of people are scared to seem silly or to embarrass themselves, and I really don’t have that at all - I don’t mind making a fool of myself. I like to just have fun and really go for it Picture Quote #1

I’m always looking for that sense of fun and adventure and even unlikeability. I don’t want to be the obvious leading lady. I have the most fun playing these girls who are a little damaged and maybe a little insecure and trying to overcompensate for it Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I had a terrible pudding-bowl haircut. I used to cut it myself, and I’d sew my own clothing, too. I looked a little strange compared to the other kids. But the thing was, I felt I looked amazing, so what other people thought never bothered me Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned there’s nothing wrong with being a little fussy. I used to pride myself on being low-maintenance - I wore it like a badge of honor Picture Quote #1

I’ve managed to get some beautiful bags. I have a great collection, and so does my mother. My favourite is a purple one by Gucci, which I take everywhere! Picture Quote #1

I started out a die-hard New Yorker but really grew to love working in Los Angeles. Even though I originally wanted to do theater, TV presented more opportunities for me, which led me out west Picture Quote #1

I have a degree in European history, which didn’t necessarily have any direct impact on my career, but I’m grateful I studied something other than acting in college Picture Quote #1

As an actress, one of the perks is having access to ridiculously expensive clothing and prancing around on the red carpet. Who wouldn’t want to have fun with that? Picture Quote #1

I’m not cut out to be a detective on ‘Law and Order’ - I laugh too easily Picture Quote #1

I’d have loved to have appeared in ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ - that’s one of my favourite shows Picture Quote #1

I would say to an actor new to the business that it’s best to go where you are most comfortable as a person, both in and outside of the business Picture Quote #1

I really enjoy playing a sex symbol, but it’s not something I feel in real life. I’m much more of a natural girl at home Picture Quote #1

When I think of the most beautiful women, they’re not supermodels Picture Quote #1

Every girl needs a shoe that goes with nothing and therefore goes with everything Picture Quote #1
