Sometimes I need to blow off steam and go dance really hard.
When you're on your deathbed, you probably aren't counting the movies you've made.
It sounds so cheesy, but there's something very powerful about looking in the mirror and asking yourself a question. Because I think it's really hard to lie.
I don't know if you can articulate an instinct.
I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies, the less I rehearse, the better I am.
I'd make a terrible surgeon. The fear of blood? Very high on my list.
Mean comedy is not really something that I personally gravitate towards or something that I do.
I would rather have a small part in a really great movie than a big one in one that I'm not too psyched about.
I just want to try and be in projects that are exciting to me.

I feel there's so much pressure, especially for women, to declare what their life's going to be and what their career is, and are you married yet? Are you single? But you're 30.

When you're a woman in your thirties, and maybe you don't really know what you want to do with your life, but it seems like everyone else does, and your best friend gets married, and it forces you to look at yourself. I don't know if I described that in a very funny way.Collection: Way
I love kids. All my best friends have kids, and I love, love, love kids.Collection: Kids
Even in this day and age, if you're not married, there are people who are like, 'Don't worry, it'll happen for you someday.'Collection: Birthday
I don't know if I even consider myself a comedian really - I do comedic acting in some films and dramatic in others.Collection: Comedian
I probably lived more of a rock-star life when I was 15. I got in trouble a fair amount. I cared more about hanging out and skipping school than studying. Which I am not recommending teenagers do if they read this.Collection: Stars
People sometimes get a little extra criticism when they try something that they don’t normally do, but I think that’s just a natural thing for artists. It’s like, "Okay, I did that, and now I want to try this."Collection: Artist
You have all this stuff going on in your head, like, 'I can't believe seven years has gone by, and I'm going to miss all these people.' And I'm like, 'Oh, by the way, Mick Jagger is to my right, and I just danced a waltz with him.' So there's that.Collection: Believe
I would put Flintstones vitamins in it in case I got tired, so I could pop some and keep walking.Collection: Tired
