I love the finality of film. When you make a movie, you know the beginning, middle, and end.
I got Twitter identity theft.
Every once in a while I play a true idiot, and they're really fun to play.
I like my coffee light.
When you live in a leading lady's body, which I do, you have to constantly prove that you are funny.
If I ever complain about yachting around the Mediterranean with Madonna, who I just idolized as a child, I should be slapped across the face.
I love physical comedy. I love Oscar Wilde, I love Shakespeare comedies, I love improv.
Most men I know rely on women to do all the literal dirty work.
You don't realize how easy one is until you have two. Now I'm really a mom. Oh, I am a mom now! This is for serious — I am responsible for two people now.
You have got to have an agent. Its a business. But I think there is a way to be artful and commercial at the same time.
I actually think that secrets are just a part of human nature and that everybody should have some.
I'm always reaching to find something that will challenge me and make me do my best.
When I was in college I was accused of being a goody two-shoes. But every goody two-shoes has a bad side.
I'm not interested in making movies only with female protagonists. I think it's ridiculous to think that a female director can't direct men. That makes no sense to me.
