As I've gotten older, I've really wanted to find more balance and calm.
And people say it all the time: 'You're a celebrity.' No, I'm an actor. I'm a producer. I'm a director. I'm a toad. I'm roadkill. I'm anything but a celebrity.
I've always wanted to work with Hugh [Grant] because I loved his movies.
I think that we all have to have that rite of passage of dating the tortured artist who seems cooler than we think we are; we aspire to be like them, and we're excited that somebody is turning us on to new music or a new lifestyle.
Celebrity! It's become the most disgusting word on the planet. It makes me sick to my stomach.
I don't really get into architecture in the hotel room. But maybe a little Feng Shui here and there.
I'm okay with the idea that slow and steady wins the race.
It's my crusade to help women feel good about themselves.
My life choices are not supposed to be the gateway to somebody else's. That's my journey.
I can cook about two things. I can boil hot water for the only pasta I can make.
I don't think that life happens by sitting back and waiting. People hold their cards so tight to their chest. Life is short. Tell people you love them. What's the worst that's going to happen?
I cry a lot. I'll cry because I see a person walking down the street looking lonely.
I took the stairs and felt like my childhood took the elevator.
I've approached so many things in my life with such intensity that I want to approach motherhood with dedication and focus.
