I love jokes, but God, jokes can go so wrong. I have stayed up many nights thinking, "F**k. I can't believe I made that silly little joke. That was a disaster."
I try to be a good shiksa wife. I go to Central Synagogue in New York.
I used to have a blankie, and when my mom had to wash it, I would sit outside the dryer and watch it go round and round, and cry.
I don't think that I have any musical talent.
I wanna smoke pot, but I can't, cause I'm too paranoid.
But in some ways, I'm like an old woman - lived it, seen it, done it, been there, have the T-shirt.
Any acting roles will be few and far between until my kids are older and by then, who knows what I'll want to do?
We can't take a step backwards when we've already made so many strides forward. I was raised by gay men and women...it's who I am, you cannot define a family. There are children out there who need these loving homes. These are rights that are fundamental and must be had. And I will fight for however long it takes; I don't want to live in a world where prop 8 exists!
If I ever start talking to you about my 'craft', my 'instrument', you have permission to shoot me.
I know certain actors are totally screwed up on drugs, yet it gets covered up. Why wasn't I excused for 'exhaustion' or 'the flu'?
I like women who like each other and empower each other.
I no longer have the fear of being alone. It's cool to find out that you don't need a boyfriend to be happy.
I try to make movies that I would want to go see rather than ones I would just want to do as an actor. I want people to have movies full of romance and hope and empowerment, something they can escape into and feel good about. I love happy endings.
I'm sure wine snobs look at me and think, how dare you.
