“Guys are much more obvious than they think they are.”

I just like to shake things up, and your hair is one way to do it.

I was putting so much time and energy into just my work, but I was raised to believe that family comes first.

I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.

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.
