Scarlett Johansson is half Danish and half Polish with natural red hair that makes her look distinctive from others. After splitting from her husband Ryan Reynolds, the 29-year-old actress got engaged to French journalist Romain Dauriac. The happy couple are now expecting their first child together in August 2014.
Following are 20 best quotes from Scarlett Johansson. Let’s check out now.
“I went through this realization that acting, at its heart, is the ability to manipulate your own emotions.”
“I have a lot of actor friends who worked with their parents closely and have had really horrible experiences. They end up suing or being emancipated. The wonderful thing about my mom [who is also her manager] is that she completely respects my creative weirdness and supports any decision I make.”
“I hope they make a video game of me. At least I wouldn’t have any cellulite then.”
“I’ve never considered myself a femme fatale as I’ve never seduced anyone and ruined their lives. At least as far as I know.”
“I’m so tired of hearing casting directors ask if I have a sore throat. The people who have told me that my voice is distinctive, it’s unusual … those people have always been close to my heart

“I find beauty in unusual things, like hanging your head out the window or sitting on a fire escape.”
“I never struggled with trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do or what made the sparks go for me.”
“I am very independent. I can look after myself but I still need a lot of love and care.”
“I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don’t want to be an old hag. There’s no fun in that.”
“I don’t talk about my personal relationships, it always ends up kicking you in the face. But I’ve read a lot of things about myself and think, ‘Wow! That girl sounds really saucy.”

“I do think on some basic level we are animals and by instinct we kind of breed accordingly. But, as much as I believe that, I work really hard when I’m in a relationship to make it work in a monogamous way.”
“I’ve always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.”
“Tons of that stuff comes to me, but a lot of it is awful. All these teenage slaying movies, and movies about girls that have deformities that become cheerleaders and then marry the prom king!”
“I would never knowingly go into a film that I wouldn’t pay to see, or something that didn’t challenge me.”
“I’m very independent. I can look after myself but I still need a lot of love and care.”

“I once heard that women dress for women — not for men — and I think that has some truth to it. Men, what do they know? They don’t know if you gain or lose five pounds. They’re oblivious to those kinds of things. A lot of men will say “I like you just as you are.” And you’re like “But I’m bloated!” If they’re attracted to you, they’re attracted to you.”
“I’m curvy – I’m never going to be 5′ 11′ and 120 pounds. But I feel lucky to have what I’ve got.”
“I just want to work on things that are really hard, and when I’m not working on things that are really hard, I want to hang out with people I like to be with, and that’s it.”
“You work hard making independent films for fourteen years and you get voted best breasts.”
“You’re married, and suddenly you have your own family. There’s a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain … You’ve got your home in that other person.”

Orange County is a county in the state of California. It is the smallest county in terms of land mass but it has the third largest population, after Los Angeles and San Diego counties. It is a very popular place for tourists because of the beaches and places like Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and Wild Rivers.
Aside from being a tourist destination, Orange County has a vibrant economy with affluent residents. It is the headquarters of some of America’s largest companies. They include well-known companies like Ignam Micro, First American Corporation, Western Digital, Pacific Life, Gateway Inc. (computer manufacturer), Linksys (router manufacturer), and Blizzard Entertainment (computer/video game creator). International companies also have a big presence here. International giants like Toshiba, Mazda, Samsung, Toyota, Kia Motors, Mitsubishi and Hyundai have their headquarters in Orange County.
With its affluence, it is not surprising that many fashion companies got their start here. They include Oakley Inc., Hurley International, famous shoe company Pleasure USA Inc., St. John, Wet Seal, PacSun and many more. All these companies are taking advantage of Orange County’s reputation as a purveyor of beach wear and fine clothing.
With so many companies based in Orange County and other businesses having a major presence, the economy is very competitive and discounts are everywhere. Consumerism is part of the culture of the county. Looking good and material accumulation is almost like an obsession with the residents. Of course their spending generates more business activity with consumers buying, companies manufacturing and jobs being created.
This cycle of business activity is most visible in the number of dining and restaurant establishments in the area. There are many chain restaurants here. These include McDonald’s, Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, El Pollo Loco, Del Taco, Taco Bell, Claim Jumper, In-N-Out Burger, Wienerschnitzel, Marie Calendar to name a few. Of course, no place is complete without the smaller eateries. Orange County has a large Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Persian, Hispanic and Indian population. They serve the area well with a plethora of ethnic foods. Combine that with all the other American and European inspired food places and you have a county where residents have literally endless choices to eat from. To stand out, many restaurants offer exciting deals and discounts. To find these bargains, you can go to several local online websites. Most of these groupon-clone sites require a purchase of a voucher for future redemption. For example, you buy a $ 10 voucher valued at $ 20 and use that to buy food at the restaurant. Local merchants from across the area offer amazing deals that you can print out. Just go online, print out the coupon and use it with your next purchase.
With so much business activity, it’s no wonder millions of tourist from in-state and out-of-state come here to shop and eat. They come to enjoy the nice weather and experience the Orange County life. In fact famous reality shows like “The OC”, “The Real Housewives of Orange County” or “The Hills” play to the popular notion of Orange County residents being privileged albeit sometimes spoiled. To be seen as successful in Orange County, it matters how you look and what you have. Businesses love this spending and are more than happy to accommodate this culture of consumerism.
Hometown is one of the oldest direct mail advertising companies in Orange County. Hometown magazine come out every 5 to 6 weeks and is delivered and verified by the US Postal Service.

Me, but I can’t really do anything about it. I don’t have kids yet and my bf isn’t addicted to it. I have noticed it in schools and high schools, even colleges. I tried to mention it to my friend’s bf who is addicted to any PC or PS2 games, but he doesn’t listen. I don’t know what else I can do?

Question by bill: Video Game Addiction – Help!?
I have played a game called King of Kings 3 for a little more than a year now. This game has really had a bad impact on my life. I have become addicted to spending real money to make my character better. Overall, I probably spent $ 2,000 on the game. I played it for 6+ hours a day, and hardly see my wife anymore. Today I found myself paying $ 50 into the game and asked myself why. I now see that I am wasting my money. Money that I need for bills, money that could have been spent to have a wonderful dinner with my wife. Money that if nothing more, could have been saved.
I am at the starting line of ending my addiction. I gave away all my items on the game and told all of my friends that I am quitting. I uninstalled the game and want to find new activities that don’t ruin my real life. It was sad, people in the game said how they would miss me, but I have to do this for myself.
I need to fix my life, how can I make sure that I don’t fail and fall back into wasting my life on pointless video games? Are there any support groups in the USA? Should I see a psychologist? I don’t want to fail by going back to this game. I have wasted probably more than a thousand hours on this game, I am hurting because I had to say goodbye, but I can’t live a normal life with this video game.
I’ve had other addictions too. I played halo reach just as much and it impacted me almost as badly. Now my brother wants me to buy Diablo III. I know I can’t do that. How can I make sure not to fall into this trap again? How do I get my wife to end her own internet addiction? How do I take control back of our relationship? I want to have the relationship I used to have with my wife and my family.
