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.

Uncomfortable Situations

There Is A Difference Between Executive Producing And Producing. Producing, You Have No Life For Two Years. You Take Everything Personally, You Want To Kill Everyone, You're Depressed And Angry, And Then In The End You Feel Excited When It Actually Works. But Executive Producing, You Can Go Home At The End Of The Day.

Getting Into Television Was A Total Fluke.

I Used To Get Out Of Bed Sometimes And Feel Depressed And Watched A Lot Of Reruns On Tv To Get Over It. I Should Have Allowed Myself To Be A Little More Human And Not Worry About Trying To Be A Superwoman.

I Gave Up Coffee. It's Almost Worse Than Giving Up A Lover.

I Think Everything Is Going To Be Devastatingly Sad - When The Phone Rings, I Know Somebody In My Family's Been Hurt, Somebody's Going To Die. I'm Sure A Therapist Would Go, 'that's Not A Good Way To Live,' But Every Time It's Not That Bad Thing, I'm So Thankful And Appreciative.

It's Just Too Much If You Make Your Career Everything. It Is Everything When You're Doing It. But You Have To Find Things You Love Just As Much.

Things You Love

I've Always Been Very Skeptical About Marriage, Because I Only Want To Do It Once; I Want To Do It The Right Way.

I've Always Wanted To Do A Female Buddy Film, The Kind The Guys Get To Do.

Racism, Anti-semitism, Homophobia, Sexism, Anything Nazi And A Boatload Of Other Things Have No Place In My Life.

Sure, I've Done Movies In Which I Was Embarrassed By My Performance, Or Might Not Have Cared For A Co-star. Then I'd Have To Tell Lies, Like, 'oh, We Love Each Other; Everything Was Perfect!'

Human Connection

Stop Being Scared Of The Unknown, Because Anything I Worried About Didn't Happen. Other Stuff Happened. The Unknown, We Can't Do Anything About.

I Think Most Of Us Are Raised With Preconceived Notions Of The Choices We're Supposed To Make. We Waste So Much Time Making Decisions Based On Someone Else's Idea Of Our Happiness - What Will Make You A Good Citizen Or A Good Wife Or Daughter Or Actress.

Childhood Is What You Spend The Rest Of Your Life Trying To Overcome.

I Enjoy Using My Body As Something That Helps Me Get To A Character.

I Would Say If You Are Going To Party, Show Up On Time To Work.

I Hope They Invent A Machine In Which You Type In The Age You Want To Be, And It Lifts And Separates Everything Nonsurgically.

My Life Changes Dramatically Every Time I Get Up Out Of Bed. After My Proposal Life Changed In That I Wasn't Asked To Change. I Always Thought That Marriage Meant Someone Was Going To Ask You To Stop Being Who You Were. And I Met Someone Who Not Only Wants Me To Be Who I Am But Likes It. So, My Life Changed In That My Views Towards Marriage Stopped Being Morbid. I Found I Was Ready To Be A Good Partner Where I Don't Think I Was A Very Good Partner To People Before.

The End Of The Day

How Often In Life Are You Going To Find Your Mate And That Mate Happens To Be Your Same Exact Age And Happens To Have Had The Same Life Experiences To Match Where You Are In Our Life So You Guys Can Meet Perfectly And Give Society What It Wants? It Just Doesn't Happen That Way. Some People Evolve At 24, Some People Are 60 And Are Still Evolving. So Why Are We Stopping These Great Connections Based On Age, Or Race Or Colour Or Whatever, Gender, Whatever? You Meet Who You Meet And You Connect Because Of Your Life Experience.

Comedy Is Wonderful When You Really Nail It And You Hear People Laughing, But It's Not Always That Easy.

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.

I'm Not A Fan Of Reality Shows, But I Am A Fan Of People Who Use Their Brains And Skills And Hard Work To Outsmart People, Not To Steal Someone's Man Or Get Drunk On Tv.

I Don't Need Any More Stories. I Have Enough Stories. I Need A Life.

Meaning Of Life

I Still Think Marriage Is A Goofy Institution If You Set It Up As This Institution With A Predetermined Set Of Rules. It's Unhealthy To Have A Predisposed Expectation Of What You Think A Marriage Should Be - As This Thing At The End Of The Rainbow. False Expectations Take Away Joy.

I Always Said If It Gets To A Point Where I Really Want A Child, I Would Adopt; Kids Are Amazing, So I'm Getting The Selfish Stuff Out Of My System So When I Have Them I Can Say, 'go, Run. I Have Plenty Of Money, Go Play.'

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.

I Know When I'm Getting Ready To Mess Up, I'm Going To Do It Full-on.

I Don't Understand Why There Needs To Be A Love Interest To Make Women Go See A Film. I Think Society Sort Of Makes Us Feel That Way - That If You Don't Have A Guy, You're Worthless.

I Love Raw Cookie Dough, Right Out Of The Tube. The Other Thing I Eat Is Marshmallow Fluff.

I Find That With Some Girls, The Words Work And Education Have Gotten A Bad Rap.

I Love My Comedy Too Much To Bastardize It With Bad Romantic Comedy.

I Always Had Boyfriends, But I Never Imagined A Proposal Or A Wedding. To Me, That Was Like Having A Ball And Chain Round Your Neck.

I Didn't Watch Any Films. This Film, The Proposal, Had It All In The Script. Once All The Pieces, Once I Met Anne Fletcher And I Knew What She Wanted And That We Wanted The Same Things, And Once They Said Ryan Reynolds Was On Board And Once The Casting Came Together, You Saw What It Wanted To Be.

Chocolate Is The Greatest Gift To Women Ever Created.

Makeup Is Scary. When I Do It Myself, It's Just Mascara, And Sometimes I Forget Even To Do That.

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.

If I Die Tomorrow, Will I Have Gotten Everything In The World I've Ever Wanted? No. But I Will Have Gotten Everything That's Made Me Happiest.

No One Understands The Shift In Priorities About Having A Child In Your Life... Until You Have A Child In Your Life.

Did I Really Earn This, Or Did I Just Wear You All Down?

Acceptance Speech

I've Learned That Success Comes In A Very Prickly Package. Whether You Choose To Accept It Or Not Is Up To You. It's What You Choose To Do With It, The People You Choose To Surround Yourself With. Always Choose People That Are Better Than You. Always Choose People That Challenge You And Are Smarter Than You. Always Be The Student. Once You Find Yourself To Be The Teacher, You've Lost It.

Not Everything Has To Be Immediate.

If A Film Is Not A Success, Then That's Just The Way Things Are. Nothing I Can Do Can Make A Difference. I Have Stopped Worrying About It.

Making A Difference

I Have No Desire To Maintain A Lifestyle. I Am A Horrible Celebrity. If I Am Out In Public I Dress Like A Pig.

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.

I Never Felt I Was Missing Anything Ever Until One Day I Stopped Long Enough To Smell The Roses Outside Of This Little Treadmill I'd Gotten Myself Onto And I Realised There Were Other Things That I Like That I Didn't Know. I Realised I Didn't Like Certain Things In My Life That I Then Got Rid Of And It Just Opened The Door To A Plethora Of Other Things That Entered.

Yeah, I'm Nervous. I'm Wearing Heels In Public For Crying Out Loud.

I've Made Mistakes, And I Know Why I Made Them, But I Made That Choice. Nobody's Ever Made A Choice For Me.

Anything Sweet, Really Sweet, That I Have Was Nothing That I Planned.

Inspirational Life
