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

I Love New Orleans I Love The Way It Looks. I Love The Way It Feels.

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.

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.

It Just Doesn't Happen That Way. Some People Evolve At 24, Some People Are 60 And Are Still Evolving.
