Once a month, I get together with my girlfriends and we usually check into a hotel or go to someone else's house. We can talk for 15 hours, and it just flies by.
When you have little kids, you lose friends because you're so busy, but as they get older, you realise how important it is to have your girlfriends around.
I like being married to someone who does what I do, and we can talk for hours about all of this stuff that I struggle with and all this stuff that he struggles with because we're struggling with the same things. If I was married to a banker, I don't know what we'd talk about.
I've known my two best girlfriends since junior high school.
I don't quite fit in in like a pure dramatic thing, but I still think of myself sometimes as sort of a dramatic actress.
There aren't good roles for women: the female parts aren't developed: the women are serving the men.
Comedy is hard to do, and I don't know why it doesn't have its own category in awards. I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy. It doesn't get respect. It's hard. It's really hard. It would be more gratifying to get something for a comedy, because it doesn't happen much or at all.
When I started auditioning, I'd take any audition I could get. The more dramatic ones didn't go as well as the comedic.
When I was in acting class, we did a lot of really serious scenes, and we didn't do comedic scenes. I felt like doing those scenes, it didn't come out of my mouth the right way. I don't know if it's because my voice is different, or what it is about me, but it just seemed a little off.
When I was 9, my parents let me take a cab to the mall all by myself. I had hardly any money to spend, but I did have a very specific list of things I wanted to do: buy cookies and sit on the furniture at Sears.
I've always been intrigued by the supernatural.
What I loved about [The Other Woman] movie was the same thing. It was three women who would never have come together for any other reason except that they had something in common which was this common cause, and that's really the feeling that I wanted this movie to have. It was a huge influence for it.
There's nothing in [The Other Woman] movie that feels like an R to us.
Written by a woman automatically is better.
