We don't have to pretend to be something that we're not.
I feel a huge responsibility to anyone who's younger than me, in helping them take the road less traveled, or finding no road at all and blazing a new trail.
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.
I've never had good fortune with sequels. Everyone says this time is going to be better. And then I've done them and they've just been not - they weren't better.
I do believe in choice, the freedom of choice and carving out your own happiness.
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.
It's the rare happening when actors get together and you have chemistry, connection, just something that works, that's bigger than what's on the page.
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'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 realized that being an actor was something I never owned up to, in a weird way. I would be a hostess or a waitress or a house restorer before I would consider myself an actor, because I never thought I was good enough.
We don't trust anyone who does anything nice. That's just the sad world we live in.
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'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 rely on music heavily, just in life and in my work.
You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. We're all family - an extended family.
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.
I realize that once I stopped fighting the technical process of how to move my body, I made it choreography.
I don't need any more stories. I have enough stories. I need a life.
I still love being creative. I still love the aspects of working together with great, talented people. But it's a weird dichotomy; I'm being blessed with more opportunities, but I'm going to be taking less of them.
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've always wanted to do a female buddy film, the kind the guys get to do.
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!'
I can't selfishly take journeys anymore because I have to take a little boy along with me.
I'll do anything for free stuff.
I don't think we are the only planet that has life.
I've never been a blind romantic.
Lemons clean everything. It's the greatest disinfectant.
Crushes are wonderful-they make you feel like you're two years old, and you say the stupidest things.
It's nice we work in a place where you're allowed to keep coming back to have new experiences together.
Ironing is comfort. It's control. I'm a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place.
