Quotes- "I know this sounds ridiculous, but I like guys with love handles. I hate a washboard stomach - that does not turn me on."
- "I'm more of a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl." - Maxim.
- "Slasher movies are fun. You watch yourself get chopped to pieces, yet you're still alive. You see the blood on the ax and think, Holy **it, this is sick, but you kind of get over your fear of death." - Maxim.
- "I hate being tickled. Sure, it makes me laugH, but when I get tickled, I get pissed off. I'm like a monkey when I get tickled - woo-hoo!" - Maxim.
- "At the end of a movie, all my outfits are missing. They even call: 'Tara, those were $700 shoes.' What are they going to do, search my house?" - Maxim.
- "I like when a guy makes me feel like a woman and a little girl at the same time." - Maxim.
- About part of why she and ex-fiance MTV VJ Carson Daly split up: "If Carson was an actor, he'd understand why I have to be away on sets and that if I have to kiss another guy in a movie, I do it. He'd read the tabloids that I was with Ashton Kutcher, but that was a bunch of bull. Then, I started reading he was with a stripper, and that wasn't true. You start tripping on each other for no reason. It makes you crazy."
- "I can make a scene that's not supposed to be sexy, very sexy. It's a power you're born with. It's not a physical thing, it comes from inside. It's all in the eyes."
- "I'm not perfect, I do drink. I do smoke. Carson can't go out and get messed up, he can't smoke in front of kids - he's the face of MTV, and he has to be good. But me? I can. I want to be good; I don't want people to say, 'I smoke 'cause Tara Reid smokes.' That's not cool. And I am going to quit smoking, for my health."
