Jessica Biel is on the cover of the August 2008 issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
On being in a relationship: “the idea of being with somebody I care about, who’s my soul mate, that sounds groovy.”
On getting married: “The actual idea of signing those papers and doing all this stuff … I’ve never been someone who’s like, ‘I have to, have to, have to have it,’”
On having kids: “I think when you make a decision to have a family and children, everything else comes second,” Biel says. “But if I choose to have a family, I would hope to create a balance, because I don’t want to lose my sense of identity, my career, and my independence. Why can’t I have both? Why can’t I have everything? So many women do it.”
On being in shape: “I am the shape that I am. I feel no shame in it, you know what I mean? My mother always made me feel just great the way I was.”
On being an active kid: “We didn’t really have video games or watch TV. We were always camping. My brother and I spent all of our time outside,” she says. “Playing soccer. Doing gymnastics, skiing, snowboarding. That’s really how I grew up. So for me, being athletic and active is a way of life.”
