Strangers shouldn't be allowed to take a picture of your child and sell it for profit.
Somebody ripped their pants open at my wedding, dipping my mother. My mother is not a lady who throws herself into a dip that often, so I don't think he thought she was really going to do it.
Some days, I want to be prim and proper, and others, I want to be in a band.
At some point in the past, it was decided that women in comedy are never supposed to be shown in an unflattering light. But in comedy, you need all of your tools to be funny.
There are a lot of funny women in my life. I never understand those movies where there's eight funny guys and two women who don't have any opinion or humour.
I was only a bridesmaid for my sister, and it was very calm and small, so I didn't have any tragedy.
I was never sullen. I was a terrible punk - I was still so chatty.
I just think that wigs and makeup and costumes completely transform me.
I refuse to give energy to the negative. I've got a great fella and two great little girls.
I love the juxtaposition of a sweet little blouse with a motocross look.
In my 20s, I used to cry about why I wasn't thinner or prettier, but I want to add that I also used to cry about things like, 'I wish my hair would grow faster. I wish I had different shoes...' I was an idiot... It's a decade of tears.
In a lot of comedies, they kind of take all the problems away from the women. They give her great clothes, great hair; she almost always owns an artisanal shop, like a cheese shop in Manhattan.
I'm not a crazy germophobe; I have kids, and that ship has sailed.
I'm like a three-and-a-half, four-hour-a-night sleeper. It's not enough to function.
