Carter Smith/ElleFor their annual Women in Hollywood issue, Elle honors several females who have had an impact on the film industry including Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Hilary Swank. The three actresses opened up to the mag about everything from the lack of quality female roles in movies to their experiences on the casting couch. Check out a few of their choice quotes, then pick up the November issue to read more with other powerful women in the biz such as Jodie Foster, Kerry Washington, Diane Keaton, Diane Kruger, and Jessica Chastain.

Kate Hudson

What actress do you most admire? "I wouldn't be honest if I didn't say my mom [Goldie Hawn]. Apart from the fact that she's my mother, she's a brilliant comedian and a force as a producer.

Jerry Seinfeld makes a school run with his two boys. - Elder Ordonez/INFphoto.comIf Jerry Seinfeld was anything like the version of himself he played on his long-running sitcom, "Seinfeld," he'd still be single and finding something wrong with every woman he dated! Fortunately, the real Jerry, 56, found love with his wife Jessica, whom he's been happily married to since 1999.

(1,000 teachers across the U.S. received the same generous gift -- only Demi wasn't part of the package.)

"With the economy and budget cuts, teachers are actually paying for a lot of the supplies out of their own pocket, so I think it's really cool that [OfficeMax] is surprising teachers with supplies," Demi told JustJaredJr.com. "It's a cause I wanted to be involved in mainly because I just love performing for kids, so when I get to go out there and sing onstage and see all those little faces it makes me smile.
