I Think I'm Not Opening Them Because I Don't Want Anything To Appeal To Me Right Now.

But Executive Producing, You Can Go Home At The End Of The Day.

I Don't Know If I Always Want To Be In Front Of The Camera. I Love Producing, I Love The Camaraderie. I Love The Adventures. I Love The Stress.

I Might Not Go To Church Every Day, But I Know I Do The Right Thing Or Try To. You're Going To Church And You're Still Sleeping Around On Your Wife And Spending Everyone's Money.

Acceptance Speech

Children Should Be Allowed To Be Children And Not Be Sold.

I Don't Think We Spend Enough Time In Silence, Just Realizing What's Floating Around In Our Noggin.

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.

No One Has Ever Bought Me Underwear, And I'm A Little Bummed About That. Maybe It's Not Such A Big Deal Any More.

I Was Always Incredibly Driven And Found It Impossible To Relax. I Felt That If I Slacked Off For A Minute To Enjoy Myself, Then So Many Things Would Be Missed.

Uniqueness Was Something My Mother Pounded Into Me.

I'd Rather Take Risks Than Make Something That's Cookie Cutter.

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. I Stepped Up My Game.

Crushes Are Wonderful-they Make You Feel Like You're Two Years Old, And You Say The Stupidest Things.

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.

I Have Friends And Family That Are Filled With Massive Amounts Of Integrity. And It Shouldn't Be An Oddity.

Family And Friends

I Can Install Toilets. I Know All About The Wax Ring. I Can Tile Floors. I'm Learning How To Do Basic Wiring.

Y'know, Every Relationship Is Different. There Are Good Marriages, Bad Marriages, Connected Partners, Unconnected Partners.

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've Been In Enough Films Where The Studio Wanted That Extra Little Cuteness To Make It Sellable.

The Hollywood I Know Has Allowed Me The Opportunity After Opportunity To Keep Doing New Things And Not Send Me Out To Pasture. I Don't Want To Go To Pasture. It's Cold. I'm Allergic To Grass. And The Cows Are Mean.

I Have Achieved Everything Through Either Hard Work Or Luck.

Music, Somehow, Breaks Through, To Everybody.

If You Spend Enough Time With Yourself In Silence, You'll Be Surprised What Goes Through Your Head.

I Was Always Longing To Do, Emotionally And Physically, What My Male Counterparts Always Got To Do. I Just Felt Envious, Every Time I Saw A Movie That I Was In Awe Of, And It Was Usually A Male Lead. And Those Kinds Of Roles Weren't Available. They Just Weren't Being Written.

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.

You Can't Have Good Comedy Without Drama In It.

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.

I Rely On Music Heavily, Just In Life And In My Work.

People Who Do Comedy Really Are The Nastiest People On The Planet.

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.

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 Don't Like Guys Who Will Lie Down And Take It. I Want Someone Who'll Fight Back. I Like People Who Can Argue Well.

I Think Every Human Being Has A Level Of Melancholy In Life And In General.

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.

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!'

The Acting Thing Is So Beyond My Control. Acting Isn't Mine. You're Like A Tiny Piece In This Big, Corporate Mechanism That Needs Chemistry And Divine Intervention.

You Know, People Ask, "how Does The Chemistry Happen?" It's Like Being In A Bar When You're Drunk. You See The Person, And You Don't Know Why, It Just Works. And It's Like Everything Goes In Slow-motion.

Everything In Large Doses Is Gonna Kill You. Even Happiness.

Free Is The Best. Anything Free Is Good.

The Rule Is You Have To Dance A Little Bit In The Morning Before You Leave The House Because It Changes The Way You Walk Out In The World.

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.

I Like Lists, I'm Controlling, I Like Order. I'm Difficult On Every Level.

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 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.

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.

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

All The Knowledge That I Have Doesn't Necessarily Make Me Brilliant, But I Love Acquiring Knowledge And Then Sharing It With Everybody Else.

Acquiring Knowledge

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

Nothing Makes Me Happier Than Dancing. It Transforms Me. It's The Only Time I Let Out What Is Inside And I Feel Completely Sensual And Sexy And Alive.

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

I Watched A Documentary About Freedom Riders. One Young Woman Told Her Parents, 'i'm Going To Leave College To Ride And Represent The Future.' I Thought, 'who Would Do That Now?' Who Would Do That For My Son?"

I Was Rejected In School Because I Didn't Look Like The Big-breasted, Beautiful Girls. I Was Awkward And Sad. My Mother Always Said, "be Original!" But I Didn't Understand Until I Changed To Be Like Everyone Else.

As For Doing More Dramatic Work Over Comedy, I Do Whatever Turns Me On At The Moment.

Being In Front Of A Camera, In A Nice Dress, Getting All Dressed Up Is Extreme. There's A Lot Of Other Extreme Situations, You Know, Just Getting Out Of Bed Sometimes Is Extreme - But I Do It. Just Got To Do It, Just Got To Get Up. Put Your Sweatpants On, Brush Off The Dog Hair And Just Get Out Of The House!

I Think People Who Do Comedy Tend To Do It Well, And To Do It Painfully And Truthfully. So Making The Leap To Drama Is Easier For Them Because Everything They've Done Is From Pain Anyway.

Everyone Told Me To Pass On Speed Because It Was A 'bus Movie.'

Don't Corral Me, And I'll Always Come Home. Just Let Me Go Out And Play During The Day.
