containers
I cannot be contained...bec ause I am the container
mirrors rooms faces
I spent most of my time in my room staring at a mirror. I never knew I was supposed to socialize. I just spent hours making faces at myself, having a good time.
nice good-love thinking
Everybody expects the fairy tale - you're going to be together forever with somebody. I don't really subscribe to that. I'd love that to happen if that happened, but ten years is enough. Ten years is a good thing with somebody, I think. It's a nice thing. A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
sunshine men thinking
I think projects find me. It's really interesting. Everything I've done, from "The Truman Show," the "Eternal Sunshine" to "Yes Man" and "Bruce Almighty," always come into my life at the perfect time.
kind thoughtfulness stupidest
There's been a thoughtfulness to everything I do. Even the stupidest things I do have some kind of point.
able wheels cases
I really have always thought of myself as somebody who lives in the middle of the wheel and is able to go to the extreme, to the outside of the wheel in any direction. The best case scenario for me is to be able to be centered and then go out.
kind find-me
Movies find me, and I kind of just allow them to find me.
pride trying shapes
I try to stay in decent shape always. I pride myself on staying at least a month away from really good shape.
spiritual crazy journey
My spiritual journey has been a good kind of thing I've been on. I guess some people would say I'm obsessed with it, but in a really good way. It's just enjoyable. I don't really have crazy obsessions about things.
feelings consumed
The only thing that has ever consumed me is love from time to time. Feeling like, 'What is it? How do I get it?'
waiting want sticks
I don't ever want to stick myself in one category. I do really love making movies, but the thing about live performances is you don't have to wait around. Literally,you have to wait to see what the reaction is to the film, so it's a slower process. But it is enjoyable.
broken world painful
The worst thing in the world when you feel broken is to have somebody coming at you with open-faced love. It becomes incredibly painful.
crowds scripts comedy
I do whatever [comedies] I'm attracted to. It's like the woman who stands out in the crowd, who for some reason you notice, that's the one you're supposed to dance with at that time in your life. That's just what it is with scripts - they find you when you're emotionally in the right place to do them.
acting world divine
Acting is divine dissatisfaction. It's the greatest thing in the world to do, but you are never satisfied with it ever.
