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!

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 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.

She Says That Beginnings Are Scary, Endings Are Usually Sad, But It's The Middle That Counts The Most.

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

I Think In General, Romantic Comedies Tend To Take One Person's Point Of View, But Every Once In A While You Get Something That Is Balanced For Two People.

There's No Magic Numbers In Birthdays In My Life, There Are No Milestones, There's No Event. Every Birthday Has To Be Celebrated To Its Fullest, Even If It's With One Person Or With 20.

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'm Not Saying, "i Don't Condone Plastic Surgery." But If You Do It, Then Do It Well, Make Sure You Come Out Looking Like Yourself. You're Comfortable Being Put Under A Knife And Being Disemboweled? Great!

Plastic Surgery

My First Review For The Tv Movie The Bionic Showdown Said I Was As Interesting As A Bus Ride.

On The Hugh Grant Romance Rumours: We're Not Dating And I'm Not Pregnant. We Have Not Kissed Or Touched. We Have Not Fought And Broken Up.

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 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.

Getting Into Television Was A Total Fluke.

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.

Anyone Who Has Been Given The Gift Of Being Opposite An Actor Who Gives And Gives, It Just Makes You Better.

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

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

When You're An Actor, Seeing Yourself For The First Time, You Spend All Your Time Just Watching Yourself And Hating Yourself And Picking Your Performance Apart. You Say, "i Look Horrible. I Should Quit."

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

I'm A Good Actress. That's Why You Know Me As Likable.

Whoever Established The High Road, And How High It Should Be, Should Be Fired.

Taking The High Road

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.

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

If You Can't Pronounce It, You Probably Shouldn't Be Putting It In Your Body Or In Your Environment.

I Was Afraid Of Being A Failure, Of Not Having The Best Time Or Of Being Chicken. But Every Year I Get Older I Think, What Was I Fearing Last Year?' You Forget. And Then You Move On.

I Have Achieved Everything Through Either Hard Work Or Luck.

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

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.

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!'

We Don't Trust Anyone Who Does Anything Nice. That's Just The Sad World We Live In.

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

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

When You Have Adversity And You Have Pain, You Never Feel More Alone Than You Do At That Moment. And You Can Be Surrounded By Hundreds Of Thousands Of People.

We All Grow Into The Beautiful Person That We’re Supposed To Be, Some Earlier, Some Later.

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

I'm Simply The Mom Who Makes The Lunch, Drives To School, Finds Where The Toys Are, Washes The Clothes, And I'm Here To Play. And That's All I Should Be.

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 Know Nothing About Christianity, Nothing About Football, And I'm Not A Republican.

You Hear Sounds And Orchestration, It's ... The Fastest Way, I Think, To Your Emotions, Even If You Don't Understand The Language Of The Song.

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

My Head Is Filled With So Much Crap, Or Facts That I Find Important, But That Some Others Don't.

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.

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.

My Goal Now Is To Remember Every Place I've Been, Only Do Things I Love, And Not Say Yes When I Don't Mean It.

I Can't Selfishly Take Journeys Anymore Because I Have To Take A Little Boy Along With Me.

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 Never Been A Blind Romantic.

Half Of My Family Has A Deep-rooted Connection To The South And Louisiana, And For Me, New Orleans Is One Of Our Most Precious, Historic Communities: Visually, Emotionally, Artistically.

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'm A True Believer In Karma. You Get What You Give, Whether It's Bad Or Good.

Usually Comedy Is Only Available To Us Ladies In The Romantic Comedy. That's Why I Hate Romantic Comedies.

Women Are Like Ovens. We Need 5 To 15 Minutes To Heat Up.

It's Such A Joy To Be Able To Play Someone Who Is Angry. It's A Joy And A Relief.

Why Is Marriage The Pinnacle For Everyone? People Get Married For The Wrong Reasons. We Need To Start Looking At Different Packages, Whether It's Living Together, Or Being With Six Partners, Or Dedicating Your Life To Taking Care Of Flowers.

Uniqueness Was Something My Mother Pounded Into Me.

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

No One Has Proof That I Know Of, That A Higher Power Exists, Yet A Major Portion Of The World Believes In It And Relies On It In Faith In Trust, In What That Is. Where Is The Science In That? And Yet You Have Incredible Belief In That.

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

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

As Long As I Have Enough Money For Makeup Artists, Everything Is Okay. I Feel Young And Very Free. But One Day, My Face Will Be Too Old For The Camera.

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

Everything Works Out The Way The Universe Wants It To Work Out.

There's No Race, No Religion, No Class System, No Color - Nothing - No Sexual Orientation, That Makes Us Better Than Anyone Else. We're All Deserving Of Love.

I Am Exactly Where I Want To Be Now. You Can't Go Backward. I'm Not Going Backward. I'm Grateful That I'm Here, Blessed To Have What I Have. Nobody Can Be Prepared For Anything. If You End Up In A Place Where You Can Look Back And Go, 'it Happened, But I'm So Lucky To Be Sitting Where I Am Sitting...'

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.

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

Acceptance Speech

Magic Exists If You Allow It. If You Open Yourself Up To It.

I'm Difficult On Every Single Level. I'm Aware That I Can Be Annoying.

Ironing Is Comfort. It's Control. I'm A Nutty Person Who Likes To Make Sure Everything Is In Its Place.

I Spent So Many Summers And New Years And Fun Times In New Orleans. It Was Always A Place Where I Felt I Could Go And Actually Let Go And Enjoy The Spirit Of Something.

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'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'm Very Musically Inclined. My Parents Were Opera Singers. As A Young Child, I Could Hear Operas And I Knew If They Were Sad, Or If They Reminded Me Of Something, Or They Brought Back A Memory.

Everyone Does Things For Love.

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

There's Something Sexy About A Gut. Not A 400-pound Beer Gut, But A Little Paunch. I Love That.

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

I Hate The Word Assistant. No One Works For Me. I Work With Everyone Because I Couldn't Do Anything Without The People That I Work With.

Having To Be Nice All The Time Is Exhausting And Boring, But To Play Someone Who Just Has That Under Layer Of Unhappiness, You Know That It Comes From Someplace.

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. When I Open Projects, Maybe Something Will Appeal To Me. I Think I'm Not Opening Them Because I Don't Want Anything To Appeal To Me Right Now.

I've Lived Next Door To People All My Life. I Don't Know How Cute They Think I Am.

I Don't Ever Want To Come Home Saying, 'i Should Have Spoken My Mind. I Shouldn't Have Let Someone Say Something That I Didn't Feel Was Right.'

Human Beings Exist That Have Integrity, That Know How To Keep Their Mouth Shut, That Know The Bigger Picture, That Don't Sell Out Their Friends.

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.

Every Single Second Of Every Single Day... I Don't Know If I Feel Like A Bad Mom, But At The End Of The Day I'm Always Plagued With, 'did I Do Enough? Should I Go In A Different Direction?'

The End Of The Day

If All Of A Sudden Someone Said, 'you Have Five More Kids,' I'd Be Totally Ok With It.

Forensics I've Always Found Absolutely Fascinating. Anything To Do With Clues. And Checking Things Out And Solving.

Fame Means When Your Computer Modem Is Broken, The Repair Guy Comes Out To Your House A Little Faster.

I Have An Expensive Hobby: Buying Homes, Redoing Them, Tearing Them Down And Building Them Up The Way They Want To Be Built. I Want To Be An Architect.

Leaving My House And Getting On To A Red Carpet Is Always Crazy For Me, Because You Have To Find A Way To Be Comfortable In The Most Uncomfortable Situation Imaginable.

Uncomfortable Situations

It's Nice We Work In A Place Where You're Allowed To Keep Coming Back To Have New Experiences Together.

New Experiences

I've Been On The Floor And I've Been Heartbroken. I Didn't Know How I Was Going To Stand Up. But I Just Gave It Time.

Not Everything Has To Be Immediate.

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

I Have These Big Piano-playing Hands. I Feel Like I Should Be Picking Potatoes.

My Parents Were Opera Singers And Voice Teachers, So Growing Up, I Admired Musicians And Dancers.

Chocolate Is The Greatest Gift To Women Ever Created, Next To The Likes Of Paul Newman And Gene Kelly. It's Something That Should Be Had On A Daily Basis.

Your Imperfections Are What Make You Beautiful.

I Am A Lover Like No Lover Has Ever Loved Before!

I Would Love To Be On 'top Gear' As A Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.

I Will Make Myself Sick On Films, Just Because You Want Everything To Be Right. I Can't Sleep If Something Hasn't Been Done Or Is Out Of Place.

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.

I Think Most Of Us Are Raised With Preconceived Notions Of The Choices We're Supposed To Make.

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

False Expectations Take Away Joy.

I Love Thongs. The Day They Were Invented, Sunshine Broke Through The Clouds.

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.

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 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. Nobody Says, 'just Be Happy - Go Be A Cobbler Or Go Live With Goats.'

I Love The Written Word; I Love When Someone Takes The Time Or Leaves You A Note Or Sends A Letter.

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.

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

We Don't Have To Pretend To Be Something That We're Not.

When People Are Like, 'life Is Good,' I Go, 'no, Life Is A Series Of Disastrous Moments, Painful Moments, Unexpected Moments, And Things That Will Break Your Heart. And In Between Those Moments, That's When You Savor, Savor, Savor.'

To Me, True Beauty Isn't Something That Will Wash Off In The Shower At The End Of The Day. It's Something That's Still There, Before You Go To Bed And Wake Up In The Morning. And, You Know, They Always Say That's Inner Beauty, But It Is.

The End Of The Day

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.

I've Been Trying To Find The Word That Says What I Need To Be In Life. 'brave' Is The Only Word. It's The Only Thing That I Ask Myself To Be.

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.

Failing Is What We Do, Or Stumbling Is What We Do On A Daily Basis.

I Haven't Always Acted Or Reacted In A Way That Made Me Proud, But I Didn't Make That Same Mistake Twice, And I Think That's What I Love About Adversity Is That It Always Reminds Me Of What's Really Valuable In Life.

I Grew Up In A Way Where I Didn't Realize There Were Limitations.i Always Thought I Could Speak My Mind.

Savor What You Are And Not What Everyone Else Wants You To Be.

The People I Find Most Beautiful Are The Ones Who Aren't Trying.

I Think Benjamin Bratt Is The Most Dreamy... He's Dreamy! And I Love The Fact That He's Got This Peruvian Heritage; He's Absolutely Striking.

I Feel Like When You Have An Unauthorized Police Badge And Something That Looks Like It Could Be A Concealed Weapon In The Small Of Your Back That When You, Someone Crosses You, Pisses You Off, Road Rage, I Think Just The Slight Badge And The Little Moving Away Of The Jacket And Not Losing Eye Contact Does Amazing Things.

I Didn't Have A Teenage Or Early-20s Experience That Was Free And Without Worry. I Missed The Screw-everything, Have-a-good-time Phase.

I Keep Saying, 'don't Change. Be Who You Are,' But Society Is Really Strong In Their Opinions.

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

As Connected As We Are With Technology, It's Also Removed Us From Having To Have Human Connection, Made It More Convenient To Not Be Intimate.

Human Connection

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

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.

To Sit With George [clooney] And Argue About What We're Passionate About Was Amazing. We're Good At Arguing Our Points Of View And Are All About Doing What Was Best For The Movie [ "gravity"].

Lemons Clean Everything. It's The Greatest Disinfectant.

I Can't Cry On Demand. I Need To Feel What I'm Feeling. I Can't Just Say, 'give Me A Moment' And Then Cry.

Nobody Can Make Me Cry In Public. I'll Punch Them First Before They Make My Mascara Smear.

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?"

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.
