I can relate to having those people in your life that you feel are moving on to this great, big, normal life and you're like, 'What's wrong with me?'
I do sort of gravitate towards smaller, indie-type movies.
I don't always just want to do the same thing.
I don't know if you can articulate an instinct.
I enjoy being characters rather than myself.
I feel like women are asked their age more than men.
There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportunity.
I feel there's so much pressure, especially for women, to declare what their life's going to be and what their career is, and are you married yet? Are you single? But you're 30. And girlfriends are so important. You can have a boyfriend or husband when you're 30, but you still need your girlfriends.
I am a big David Bowie fan.
I took guitar lessons and recorded the song in New York. It was kind of a dream. I got to pretend I was a recording artist for a couple days.
I love kids. All my best friends have kids, and I love, love, love kids.
I'm a vegetarian; I eat a lot of tofu and soy.
If I can be doing something in the arts till the day I die. I would be very, very happy.
It's fun for me to play people that are just kind of odd.
