Walking is a very underestimated exercise in North America. It's all run hard, lift weights and push your body, but walking is wonderful for elongating the body and posture.
I really believe that a woman doesn't reach her peak until her 40s.
There are so many reasons why, for me, writing is superior to acting. One of them is anonymity. Writers can live relatively normal lives.
A creative project is a moving target. You never end up where you start.
By rights, I should be an out-of-work actress because I just don't want it as badly as some people want it.
I dance around my living room to cheesy '80s aerobics music until I'm sweating really hard!
I do love 'Star Wars,' although I'm not one of those crazy fans who knows everything about everyone.
I don't want to just model. Anyone can do that. I've let myself be in magazines in the past without participating as much as I should have.
I don't want to shield kids from reality.
I don't watch TV. When people at my house try to talk about TV, I'm like, 'Ah, I have no idea what I'm talking about.'
I had my baby outside in a thunderstorm. It was really romantic.
On 'Ant-Man', I took a rubber stamp from the office of Hank Pym, who's played by Michael Douglas.
Saying 'no' is not hard for me; it's scarier for me to say 'yes.' I'm actually more afraid of commitment than of saying 'no.'
Somebody could take a picture of me from across the room, and I would feel like I wanted to rip their face off.
