Ashton Kutcher
You know, I think that romance sort of coincides with effort, so you can fall flat on your face, but as long as you're making a great effort, I think it comes off as romantic.Collection: Romantic
Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.'Collection: Courage
My mom's whole side of the family, they're all Packers fans. My mom's a Bears fan. My stepdad is a Vikings guy. So that gets ugly. My mom sits upstairs watching the Bears game; he sits in the basement. They can't watch it together. Football's a violent anger in our family dynamic.Collection: Anger
I want to be like Tom Cruise from 'The Outsiders' and go on and do amazing movies for a long time.Collection: Amazing
I can't grow a mustache. It's pretty sad if I attempt to.Collection: Sad
Your best T-shirt should be like your bed; it just feels like you are home when you are in it.Collection: Home
I think that romance sort of coincides with effort, so you can fall flat on your face, but as long as you're making a great effort, I think it comes off as romantic. So it can be something as simple as, like, if you're someone who doesn't cook, you can make a meal.Collection: Romantic
My parents couldn't give me a whole lot of financial support, but they gave me good genes. My dad is a handsome son-of-a-gun, and my mom is beautiful. And I've definitely been the lucky recipient. So, thank you, Mom and Dad.Collection: Mom
I really think that technology has the greatest potential to accelerate happiness of most things in the world. The companies that will ultimately do well are the companies that chase happiness. If you find a way to help people find love, or health or friendship, the dollar will chase that.Collection: Friendship
I'm from Iowa, we don't know what cool is!Collection: Cool
My mom is still yelling at me because she needs more autographed pictures.Collection: Mom
True luxury is being able to own your time - to be able to take a walk, sit on your porch, read the paper, not take the call, not be compelled by obligation.
Don't settle for what life gives you; make life better and build something.
I feel like a fraud... My name is not even actually Ashton. Ashton is my middle name.
The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap. I promise you. It's just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don't buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful and be generous.
Life can be a lot broader... when you realize one simple thing: And that is that everything around us that we call life was made up by people who were no smarter than you. And you can build your own life that other people can live in. So build a life. Don't live one. Build one. Find your opportunity, and always be sexy.
I'm continually trying to make choices that put me against my own comfort zone. As long as you're uncomfortable, it means you're growing.
There's something advantageous about having people underestimate your intellect, insomuch as a lot of things are revealed to you. They assume you don't know what you're talking about, then all of a sudden, you do. And the next thing you know, you have information you wouldn't normally have.
As marriage goes, I think most people sort of set being - you know getting married as the goal as opposed to being married.
I've learned the hard way how valuable privacy is. And I've learned that there are a lot of things in your life that really benefit from being private. And relationships are one of them.
The film industry brings people together, and so does technology. I see them as similar platforms.
I don't believe that old cliche that good things come to those who wait. I think good things come to those who want something so bad they can't sit still.
Everybody likes to hold up a really big righteous sword when people make mistakes. Well guess what, now it's recorded and everyone has access to it... so let's stop judging people.
I'm happy wherever I go, whatever I do. I'm happy in Iowa, I'm happy here in California.
I learned what a Birkin bag is from the price tag. You'll never forget what it is once you've paid for one.
The power of a handwritten letter is greater than ever. It's personal and deliberate and means more than an e-mail or text ever will. It has a unique scent. It requires deciphering. But, most important, it's flawed.
I don't think I'm a funny person in general. I have had to learn comedy.
In the movies, you want a good story and characters that are honest, but you are also looking for a good director who can lead the ship. That's how we look at business. Everybody has a great idea for a start-up, and so do their relatives, and they tell me, 'You gotta build it.' I say, 'I have to believe in it.'
I woke up many mornings not knowing what I'd done the night before. I'm amazed I'm not dead.
I've never had a job in my life that I was better than. I was always just lucky to have a job. And every job I had was a steppingstone to my next job, and I never quit my job until I had my next job.
I've had some really, really wild fun nights in Vegas. I ended up on stage once with this band, The Digital Underground, doing the Humpty Dance.
I'm a guy's guy. I don't comb my hair unless I have to, and I don't use lotions or fancy shampoos.
Whether you like it or not, the digital age has produced a new format for modern romance, and natural selection may be favoring the quick-thumbed quip peddler over the confident, ice-breaking alpha male.
The truth is that I'm an idiot. I am. I don't do things by the rules sometimes. I say things that I probably shouldn't say. I push buttons. I deserve to be made fun of. And I feel like, as soon as you can make fun of something, it instantly removes the fear.
The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap!
The failures that we have are sometimes expensive educations.
Steve Jobs had something like a 90% approval rating from his employees. You hear stories about him being this short-tempered, aggressive person, which he was. But he was in the pursuit of making people around him better, so the product they created would be better.
I've usually found that the greatest rewards in my life come from taking on things that are a little bit scary.
I'll probably never be the best actor in Hollywood, but I hope to be the hardest working.
Modeling is the best because you have to look hot, which comes easy to me, you know. I'm blessed with that.
I am only young once, who cares if I'm a goofball!
Acting can be so much fun that it's easy to forget that what you're doing is a job. But if I've got my tie on, I'm going to work.
I think we've all been in the middle of doing something we cared about, when someone coming in the room and saying 'hello' was annoying. I personally can understand that, as someone who tries to create.
I've constantly done my best to get the best material I can get with the best directors I can get to direct me.
I don't have to act for work anymore; I can act for passion. That's freeing, but it's also a prison of its own. When you can do anything you want, you're really responsible to do something great. And that's scary.
I wouldn't say you have an online life and a real life. I think technology is just mapping and organizing what already exists.
People used to behave morally because they thought God was always watching - in some ways God today is the collective, and the collective is watching.
I think privacy is valuable. You don't have to share everything, and it's healthy to occasionally hit the pause button and ask yourself if you're oversharing. But at the end of the day, if you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to hide.
A lot of people use social media to share mundane things or for self-glorification. I try to use it to share interesting things with people.
For me, the most entertaining evening would be to go sit with entrepreneurs and talk with them about how they're building their companies and how we can help to make them better. That's the one thing in the world - well, I love doing that.
