“I haven't got a green bone in my body. I have not got a jealous streak...” — Shirley Ballas Quote

“I haven't got a green bone in my body. I have not got a jealous streak of any type at all.”

“I am not a Suzy Homemaker.”

“I love to work but just as important is the time that you spend with your family.”

“Research clearly shows us that the earlier women think about maintaining their bone mass and take the steps to do so, the better their health will be in the long run.”

“There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like 'Down to the Bone,' you have the opportunity to be of service.”

“'Shadow and Bone' was my first book, and I think I was unconsciously echoing a lot of the fantasy that I had grown up with, which sets a kind of default for straight white characters. And that's something I've tried to improve on as I write, to write more authentically and reflect the people around me in the world, around me more realistically.”
