Sandra Bullock
I mean, yeah, Anne Fletcher was a choreographer, but she was born to be a director. You need to have the ability to figure out people's rhythms. It all starts from the script.Collection: Mean
I was a little worried that the familiarity would be a little weird, but I think for me everything is musical in my life. For me, timing is a rhythm.Collection: Thinking
Ryan Reynolds and I can be doing a scene facing the camera and somehow our back and forth and our rhythm, we know when to stop and when to volley, when to make the sound. It's like music.Collection: Cameras
I love good romantic comedies. There just aren't a lot of them. But, I love comedies, and I'll never stop doing them.Collection: Comedy
I keep saying, 'Don't change. Be who you are,' but society is really strong in their opinions.Collection: Strong
If I can do anything in this time of my career, I want to make it easier for other actresses and girls who are growing up to go, 'I get to be a part of a comedy or an action film or a romantic comedy or a thriller or just a romance, without having to wind up with someone to complete us.' I complete me. I just got lucky that, after I completed myself, I met someone who could tolerate me.Collection: Girl
People who do comedy really are the nastiest people on the planet.Collection: People
I was so thankful that I got to go back to comedy and I felt bad that I had abandoned something that I guess I was naturally given and lucky to have an loved all of my life, but didn't love it anymore because I didn't get to do it the right way.Collection: Way
Picking roles, my way of choosing them is vastly different now than it was a long time ago, but I can only be that way now because of what I've learned from the past. So I'm choosing now not to choose any work, because when you've had such a nice ride, unexpected rides and fulfilling rides, you really don't want to take a step backwards. It's really made me satisfied in a way that I wasn't looking for, but I was blessed with it and now I feel really full, in a good way, where I don't need to rush out and go find something.Collection: Nice
I'm difficult on every single level. I'm aware that I can be annoying.Collection: Annoying
We just assume all the great actors are in New York first and then L.A. second, and it's so not true. There's such amazing talent everywhere. It's exciting that now that there are these sort of new Hollywoods or new filmmaking communities that really benefit from these great faces and character actors and leading actors that just are fresh and exciting and bring an authenticity to the piece.Collection: Character
I don't want to be seen as the kind of person who does things and then expects publicity in return. I look at it as, I happen to have the means, I have the energy and I have the passion to do what I want to do.Collection: Passion
People order clothes out of a catalogue, put it on an actor and everything is generic.Collection: Clothes
The costume designer designing clothes that helped the comedy in The Proposal, that sold the character. Each and every detail was so perfectly thought of, what wouldn't be here? That's a lost art.Collection: Art
I love people in elements that they're not used to.Collection: People
I'm a good actress. That's why you know me as likable.Collection: Actresses
I really am thankful that I got to do The Proposal movie the right way with people who taught me how to do comedy better.Collection: People
My quest to find a great role for myself started long before this film [ "Our Brand Is Crisis"]came around.Collection: Long
I'm a huge lover of going to the theater and having that experience of people in the room. Any time you go to an experience like this, you hear it in a different way because sound systems are different.Collection: People
I love humor. I always will fall back on humor. That's something that I think you can't ever get enough of and, if it's done well, it's great. When it's bad, it's horrible.Collection: Fall
It's such a joy to be able to play someone who is angry. It's a joy and a relief. Having to be nice all the time is exhausting and boring.Collection: Nice
I realized that being an actor was something I never owned up to, in a weird way. I would be a hostess or a waitress or a house restorer before I would consider myself an actor, because I never thought I was good enough.Collection: House
I did love that scene in the movie [ "Our Brand Is Crisis"] because it's like "The Wizard of Oz." You see the backstage action of politics. You have access to see behind the curtain. You see how it's all one big advertisement.Collection: Wizards
I had prepared myself for the second half of my life [to be] filled with other passions that don't include being in front of the camera. And then all of a sudden I got more work and more work and more work. And I went, "Well maybe things have shifted." And I think they have.Collection: Passion
I find that with some girls, the words work and education have gotten a bad rap.Collection: Girl
My head is filled with so much crap, or facts that I find important, but that some others don't.Collection: Important
I'm always in this shape, that shape, whatever shape you like the most. I am always in various stages of shapes. If the woman needs to be more soft I'll gain weight and then I'll lose weight for another film that I did where I wanted her to be more wiry. I enjoy using my body as something that helps me get to a character.Collection: Character
To me, the producing falls into the same as acting. It requires so much time out of your life, and I take it very personally, I realize, so if I do something, it just has to be something I love and I don't want anyone else to do.Collection: Fall
I'm not politically vocal. I just want what's best for our country. I want our rights respected and those of my son's.Collection: Country
I now know that anything sweet, really sweet, that I have was nothing that I planned. If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what real life is about.Collection: Sweet
It's such a joy to be able to play someone who is angry. It's a joy and a relief.Collection: Play
I was actually looking at comedies and wondered, 'Why is every comedy for a women a romantic one? I was so done! Then I said, 'Could I look at every script Jim Carrey rejected?' It didn't center around me getting a man.Collection: Men
If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what life is about.Collection: Kids
You're never in control. That - that is the greatest fallacy of the - you know, there's over 200 people that it requires to make a film. And there's people who are in control of how you look, what your performance is, what takes are used, what - you're only in control of how you say no.Collection: People
I don't want to not enjoy where I am at this very moment. So, every time I plan something the exact opposite happens. I hope that I'm always satisfied and content like I am right at this very moment.Collection: Opposites
I'm just having fun. And giving a sort of second shot at childhood and life - and I need to be present to do it.Collection: Fun
There is something sexy about a computer nerd.Collection: Sexy
Motherhood is beautiful. Everything [my son] does makes me so happy.Collection: Beautiful
I stopped doing romantic comedies. I just stopped. They're terrible. They're bad. They're not funny and so they shouldn't be a romantic comedy because most of the time they're not romantic. They shouldn't be called romantic comedy.Collection: Comedy
I'm like the queen of planning and scheduling and I'm trying very hard to stop it. I just want to finish what I'm doing and go home. I want to have a weekend. I want to have breakfast, a stack of pancakes.Collection: Queens
I think most people have that out-of-body experience when they win the Oscar.Collection: Winning
I do believe in choice, the freedom of choice and carving out your own happiness.Collection: Believe
It's the rare happening when actors get together and you have chemistry, connection, just something that works, that's bigger than what's on the page.Collection: Together
I feel a huge responsibility to anyone who's younger than me, in helping them take the road less traveled, or finding no road at all and blazing a new trail.Collection: Responsibility
If you're gonna tell a story from beginning to end, I always think you have to have a great structure in a script. If it gets you excited and it's something you've never read before that's another plus. I think also with improv and that whole world of stand-up, that's a whole other organism of comedy that still needs a story, but it's more free-form. On the set, it is the combination of both those worlds coming together: a great script and an allowance to play with it.Collection: Thinking
I admire actresses who are good to women. I don't like the ones who just don't like women. You can feel it. They're degrading themselves.Collection: Actresses
I still love being creative. I still love the aspects of working together with great, talented people. But it's a weird dichotomy; I'm being blessed with more opportunities, but I'm going to be taking less of them.Collection: Blessed
I've pretty much kicked over every stone. And there's nothing in me that says, "I must create this particular thing."Collection: Stones
Back when I was very small, and we had this bathroom with these sort of paneled mirrors on the side. And I would just sit there - because it was the only warm room in the house. And I would - if I was in a bad place - I would go to my imaginary place with these mirrors, and create this entire other world to sort of help level out what I was dealing with.Collection: Mirrors
