If you can't categorize a film for a studio, it's really difficult for them to wrap their heads around it and give you the money.
-
I'd rather take risks than make something that's cookie cutter.
-
I've been in enough films where the studio wanted that extra little cuteness to make it sellable.
-
I can install toilets. I know all about the wax ring. I can tile floors. I'm learning how to do basic wiring.
-
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 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 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.
-
It's sad when you say a $30 million film is an inexpensive film, but it is.
-
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.
-
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.

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.

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.
-
You grow up and share life experiences. That's one of the best parts of this business. You share how you're mellowing out and your new sense of self.
-
Racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life.
-
I like normal, simple, good people.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Nobody can make me cry in public. I'll punch them first before they make my mascara smear.
-
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.'

The most beautiful woman in the world is the one who protects and supports other women
-
I love raw cookie dough, right out of the tube. The other thing I eat is marshmallow fluff.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I love good romantic comedies. There just aren't a lot of them. But, I love comedies, and I'll never stop doing them.
