The fame thing has happened very gradually, so I've been kind of lucky.
atheist growing-up intelligent
I guess I'm an atheist. But I would say I have very good relationships with the priests that I grew up with. I was an altar boy growing up, and the men of God in my life have always been really lovely, intelligent, well-informed, kind men. So I feel very loyal to their beliefs as much as anything else.

Social media is great, I guess, but it feels like technology is the sapper of innocence.

After 'Bridesmaids,' women know who I am.
mind want fats
I don't mind being slightly fat-ish, I just don't want to be fat.
