Read some Ali Larter quotes below.

I hate pretty-looking boys. I'd rather have a guy with a potbelly than one who's in the gym all the time and watches what he eats.

(Talking about the above comment she made) I definitely had a couple of beer guzzlers who came up to say hello in bars. What I really meant was that I like confident guys with a sense of humor.

(Talking about husband Hayes MacArthur) I told my boyfriend after three weeks that I wanted to marry him and that we could do it tomorrow. I look forward to that time when I'm home with babies.

(On other projects besides acting) I definitely have many ideas and different avenues that I want to take as my career goes on.

(On using acting to get out of situations.) What, to lie your way out of something? No. I'm a pretty bare bones honest girl. No time for bullshit.

My sister is a third grade teacher outside of Indianapolis. I think teachers are real-life heroes, giving their careers to teach the youth. They give their lives for it.

In Los Angeles, people always so 'You can't do it.' The rejection is astonishing. You really have to dig deeper and believe in yourself.
