In college, my teachers were usually after me for going after comedy too much, leaning too much in that direction.
I thought the other ones were so obviously - what are we going to do if she burns down the house? The DEA, which I think was maybe the best one because she's wearing the jacket when she goes through the mirror and I think that was kind of amazing because you really weren't expecting that. There's something almost slapstick about this in a way that worried me. It was a little pratfalley with the golf club and the - but I think it probably cut together okay.
I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.
I like A&E. I like those corny intimate-portrait things. They're so kind of ingenious and artificial and soothing.
I do love my avocados, which are great for the skin. I eat pretty healthfully.
Yeah, when you work with somebody that famous everybody wants to know what are they like or - but I know some of the movies that I know because they're more like NOBODY'S FOOL or like that, because I don't really watch the big R movies, I haven't really seen them so much. I loved him [Bruce Willis] from his TV show and some of the smaller movies he's done. The bigger movies I start to space out in, like, there just so, I don't really watch those kind of movies so much.
I don't live in Los Angeles and I don't do a lot of superfluous press.
I enjoy cooking and baking. Alicia Silverstone's vegan cookbook is awesome.
I have a child and I don't want to be at work all the time when he's small. I want to spend time with him.
You can tell actually when he starts to talk about his family, or his Daughters, or his Wife, and his whole face - really he's so really kind of a dear.
I just want to make lunches and organize my kids' playroom.
I just get to go to work with such great actors who are so talented, especially Elizabeth (Perkins). You are so wonderful and kind and good and wonderful and sexy and great, and I just want to make out with all of you.
I always wondered what people thought of it because it looked so stupid to me on the page and I loved the other finale so I thought it was going to be really stupid but some people really liked it.
There's something really sweet about the way he's playing the part and he's kind of irresistible in a way. They're both really lonely. That's kind of established from the very beginning in the movie. The way they meet is just classic, lonely losers.
