I know her backwards and forwards. I loved Monica, but you still get tired of it.
I like to walk into a house and go, 'Rip up the brown shag carpet and open up that wall with some French doors.'
If anything ever bothers us, we don't hold it in for one second, Cox continued.
I had a lot of questions, but they were more about the character than the plot. Greg and I talked a lot about the details of her inner life and the way she coped, a lot more than how I was going to look. Since the story is open to interpretation, I thought it was really important that the character be emotionally accessible, that the audience would be able to identify with her struggle.
There's no doubt that motherhood is the best thing in my life. It's all that really matters.
I only have to do three things to look halfway decent. Curl my eyelashes, fill in my eyebrows and put some lipstick on.
When I was a kid I didn't feel like I fit in because - this is really silly and I probably shouldn't say it, but, I didn't think anything was funny. So I used to go home and literally cry to my mom and my step-dad at the time and I didn't think anything was funny. I couldn't laugh.
I'm not a passive person by any stretch of the imagination.
Oh, I do get lonely, yes.
I just am a snob when it comes to humor.
If I like myself at this weight, then this is what I'm going to be. I don't have an eating disorder.
I'm not fake in any way.
I'm not going to deny it. I'm a neat person, there's no question. But I don't become obsessed with it.
I guess Pumas are in their 30s. Cougars in their 40s Jaguars are 50s, and Sabretooths go into the 60s, right?
