I love the beginning of Magnolia, the thing about the dealer. That scene is genius. Brilliantly acted.
I try not to have too many opinions; I just marvel at the world we live in.
A movie is painting, it's photography, it's literature - because you have to have the screenplay - it's music. Put a different soundtrack to a comedy and it's a tragedy. A movie combines all those forms and forces you to pay attention for two hours with a group of people.
The older I get, the more I accept and appreciate myself.
Sometimes I do yoga, sometimes it's kickboxing, sometimes it's weight training, sometimes it's Pilates.
If you're an actress and even one person knows your name, you're lucky.
Comedy is not supposed to be funny. Its supposed to tell the truth and then that's funny.
Once I finished breastfeeding, my mom's like, 'Don't take that bra off ever!' Mom, thank you. I wore a one-size-too-small bra for like, two years. It helps...! They don't fall, you teach them, you teach them to come back!
I feel like movies should stick to a genre and give the audience what they want, and then surprise them with the unexpected, and not just do the same thing you've always seen.
You just can't take yourself too seriously, especially in comedy.
I really appreciate and respect the audience. People pay their hard-earned money to go watch you, so I feel like it's my job to give 100,000% of myself to what I'm doing.
When you're in your own body, you don't feel great about yourself. I don't think of myself that way.
You just can't take yourself too seriously, especially in comedy. You shouldn't try to be funny, but you should try to be as honest as possible. The extreme end of honesty is usually what's funny. That's your job [as an actor]. You just have to let people see it.
I'm a physical person. That's why I like action movies. I like to get real into it all, and get real down and dirty.
