Quotes
Blake Lively
Actress and filmmaker known for her roles in various films and television shows.
“I'm talking to you as a friend at this point more than anything. The only reason that I'm doing (the movie) before is because I gave them my word, and I wouldn’t go back on that. But, having a week off in between, it's just a lot.”

“I still don't have a baby nurse. Shooting in April; shooting in March is just too soon after having a baby and not sleeping and wanting to be in my best shape. Obviously there are selfish reasons I'm telling you this. If by chance you're like, 'Oh my God, if I could go two weeks earlier, that would actually be great then amazing. This is my social interaction these days, just talking into voice memos.”
