“I’m not terribly sentimental.”

I don’t want to be the person digging my own grave.

I’m the most uncoordinated clumsy, klutzy person. I always had a bruise, I always tripped and fell.

I can’t cultivate a relationship with my child if it’s between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized, ‘This is not going to work.’ It will work some of the year, but not 12 months a year.

I don’t make big grand gestures, generally.

The world is still very bigoted.

My mother is a realist, and she’s had biological and adoptive children, and she said it’s no different: No matter what, they’re putting a stranger into your arms. You don’t know them yet.

I love playing a smart, ambitious, talented woman. Who doesn’t? That’s really fun for me.

I dreamed about these moments, and I think I hoped I would have them, but you don’t know. So when the lucky break hits, it’s like being Cinderella and hopefully midnight doesn’t come.

When I see some of the people who are glorified in magazines these days – who are so thin it’s bordering on sickness – I just feel exhausted.

I never would rule out a great character or a great story. I don’t care what the forum is. If I get to tell a story that I’m excited about, I’m in.

I totally wouldn’t mind being able to wave my hand head to toe and have, like, a whole new outfit.

I think a lot of women innately know how to play their hand. I’m not a big one for the rules.

I’m never satisfied with the way I look.

I’m a huge romantic comedy fan and have been in this business for 17 years and I think for all 17 I’d hoped and dreamed and wished to some day be in a romantic comedy myself.

I do like change. That’s the one thing exciting about me.

I don’t have a lot of discipline.
