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.

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.
-
I'm controlling, and I want everything orderly, and I need lists. My mind goes a mile a minute. I'm difficult on every single level.
-
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 now know that anything sweet, really sweet, that I have was nothing that I planned. If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what real life is about.
-
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 know nothing about Christianity, nothing about football, and I'm not a Republican.
-
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.
-
Now, I love men, but I don't need to always be talking about them.
-
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.
-
We don't trust anyone who does anything nice. That's just the sad world we live in.
-
Why is it that when we get older, we get more fearful?
-
Comedy is wonderful when you really nail it and you hear people laughing, but it's not always that easy.
-
I was never the kind of girl who said, "One day, I am going to be a beautiful bride, and I am going to have a family." I wanted to work and support myself and make my parents proud. All I did was work. I did three or four films a year, and felt like I was on a treadmill. Finally I said, "Nothing is exciting to me anymore." So I took six months off, which turned into a year, and said, "God, I don't miss it." That's when all kinds of interesting things crossed my path.
-
The first time I met Sylvester Stallone, he had golf tees up his nose. So I figured we were going to be OK.
-
There's something sexy about a gut. Not a 400-pound beer gut, but a little paunch. I love that.
-
I love the written word; I love when someone takes the time or leaves you a note or sends a letter.
-
You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. We're all family - an extended family.
-
Children should be allowed to be children and not be sold.
-
I'm a huge lover of going to the theater and having that experience of people in the room. Any time you go to an experience like this, you hear it in a different way because sound systems are different.
-
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.
-
I admire actresses who are good to women. I don't like the ones who just don't like women. You can feel it. They're degrading themselves.
-
I have a thing for red-haired Irish boys, as we know.
-
People care about people who care about themselves.
