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 really just drew off of where we are now, with reality TV. You can't help but see a lot of it. You choose to watch some, but with some, you just can't help but hear it and see it. It's just piercing in your brain. That piercing is what I was tapping into , with whatever they were doing to pierce into the minds of everybody. It takes a certain kind of person to shut your mind off to the consequences and just try to get results. That's what I was going for - results.
I'm actively looking for things to direct again. I had such an amazing experience on this. I really am spoiled.
I got Twitter identity theft.
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.
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.
I'm always reaching to find something that will challenge me and make me do my best.
My number one advice to high school girls is birth control. You want to keep all your options open for as long as possible? Birth control.
It's really fun to watch yourself disappear in the movie every day
I am not afraid of much. I kill all the spiders in my house, and I'm planning to go skydiving. I am into girl power, and I'm very self-sufficient.
I play Rock Band, which is Guitar Hero times ten. You can play with four people, so when you have parties, you have a real band. Nobody ever wants to sing, so I'm always the one throwing down on the mic.
