Life is too short to be in relationships where you feel this isn't fully right.
I give the worst possible relationship advice to people. I am not ashamed.
I can't stand confrontation, which maybe is a character flaw. But having said that, I do feel like when I do get upset - which is rare, as my husband and family would say - I have a hard time letting go.
I try to keep my head on straight and take nothing for granted.
Yeah, I do like scary movies, especially the ones that don't take themselves too seriously.
I'm not a very good lover. I'm so nervous about my sexuality.
I was never the class clown or anything like that. When I was growing up and doing theatre in Seattle I was always doing very dramatic work. Now I can't get a dramatic role to save my life!
The hardest thing in my industry is longevity, getting your next job. It's hard to get the first job, but it's so much harder to get the sixth or seventh as a woman.
I never imagined being able to make money from acting - and now I can.
Hollywood studio executives don't recognize the value of female performers as much as male performers.
One of the things that comedy has given me over the years is a really good ability to laugh at myself and to not take things that don't matter too much too seriously. I feel that very little offends me anymore and I'm really grateful for that because I think I was a pretty uptight little kid.
I really love comedy and weirdly enough, I love how my journey has ended up. I get to laugh all day long.
I never really thought I wanted to become a movie star.
Blythe Danner is somebody whose career I admire. She's a great actress and does good work, but also has a life of her own. I love my job but, at the end of the day, I want to come home and watch a movie and drink a bottle of wine with my husband.
I know a lot of actors talk about the importance of wardrobe, and it always seems like it's kind of a cop-out, maybe, because it seems like a minor detail to some people. But I think it's hugely important.
You have to be willing to accept the idea that people may think you're stupid.
My comedy does not come from a place of deep cynicism, and I tend to play characters who are naive in some way.
I feel really grateful that I am in comedy, and I love doing it.
You have to create your own stuff. It's really exciting to create something, sell it, and feel like I'm not just a pawn waiting to be cast.
I don't really like to go out to clubs or anything. It's just not my style. I'd much rather go to a dive bar or a local place.
You know, right now, they say - I don't know who says this, but somebody told me - there's three male roles to every female role. And I guess I'd work on evening that up. Making great roles for women. It's just such a huge challenge.
There was a time when I was willing to marry any cute boy that looked at me.
There's definitely a loneliness and, like, an internal element to being a performer.
'Overboard' was the movie that I put on when I wasn't feeling great, and it always made me feel better. I could watch it a gazillion times. So when they approached me to be a part of this remake, I was terrified because I felt like there's no way anything could live up to the original. But it was thrilling.
I love being a part of a romantic comedy. I've done a lot of comedies but haven't always had a ton of romance in them.
I've been acting since I was 9, but in college I entered the drama program, and I didn't excel at it at all, kind of for the first time.
I loved working with Eva Longoria.
There are times when I think, 'Do I have the energy to be upset?' and the answer is 'no.'
Motherhood is like a big sleeping bag of guilt.
I love to cook really fattening things, like steak and pasta and potatoes.
I would love to have more actress friends, but I just don't.
As a working mom, you're running around all the time, and you're trying to figure out what can my kid eat that's healthy because, I guess, I'm 'supposed to do that.'
I do love giving advice, but I try not to forget how flawed I am as well. And how many mistakes I've made.
I take pride in how great my relationship is with Chris, but having said that, of course, in this crazy world where he's off doing movies and I'm in L.A. raising our child, of course I'm going to feel vulnerable, like any normal human would.
It's weird to get gifted things as an actress because it usually happens when you've made a movie, and you can finally afford something, and then these fashion labels give it to you for free.
When I travel, it makes me wish I looked completely polished all the time. I don't. I live in sweats.
I've been through heartbreak and uncertainty and giddy crushes and everything. We all have.
After I had my baby, I reprioritized my life in general. I really wanted to play characters that gave me a different kind of fulfillment. That is a difficult thing to find, especially as an actress.
I am very rewarded and challenged in front of the camera.
I feel, for the most part, especially in comedy, you make your own work, and maybe that's true across the board.
I used to sort of consider myself a feminist, an environmentalist, and I still have some of that in me, but I've done so many offensive comedies, I'm now worn down to a little nub of... nub of an activist.
I don't think anybody really wants to know their limits.
I like the idea of sort of playing quieter roles, which would be refreshing for a minute. It is exhausting being really loud and obnoxious.

It's always exciting to be a part of the development and creative process, and I hope to continue to do it. I feel like, especially in the comedic world, it's how things have to be done. You have to be a part of the motivating factor of getting the movie made. It's so hard.Collection: Creative
