I have quite a robust relationship with regret. You simply don't know what the alternative would have been.

I am not a great French woman. George Sand, Marguerite Duras and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women.

I have people come up to me who love 'The Other Sister,' or 'Old School,' or 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape.'

What do I think being wild is? Nothing. Actually, the whole world is wild. Everything is wild. There we go.

For me, there is safety in playing a woman that is very sexualized and having a woman direct you with that.

Why does a tragedy like 9/11 change everything about air travel, but numerous gun massacres CHANGE NOTHING?

I think it's clear that women are treated terribly, and people are allowed to say horrible things about us.

A lot of times when I've been offered film series and stuff, if they shoot in Los Angeles, I lose interest.

I don't take crap from anyone, so that makes people think I'm rebellious. I'm not. I'm just not a pushover.

I love my shape because I work really hard at it. I honor my body by working out and seeing what it can do.

My most frequent collaborators at S.N.L. are the incredibly gifted writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider!

'SNL' can be a stressful environment, and I am panicking constantly, but I guess I keep it pretty internal.

I was caught in a private cycle of sadness and the only conceivable relief I could find was in the telling.

I'm kind of used to being around guys on set, and I grew up with a brother who treated me like I was a boy.

I've never worked on a lawyer show for a long time, but I imagine the actors all start acting like lawyers.

Its a force of life, sex; you cant deny the thrill of riding high, wide and handsome with someone you love.

Isn't it so weird the day you wake up and you're just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

I was a Stephen King fan and I was amazed that I got the chance to play that role and very glad that I did.

I worked in McDonald's, but I didn't mind it. You got free cheeseburgers. I love eating a bit of junk food.

I am a slow reader. I always loved words, which is a strange thing given that I couldn't actually read them

The highest percentage of England's top jobs are filled by graduates from about two different universities.

You look at Gone With the Wind, how right Vivian Leigh was for that. Don't know if that would happen today.

I think when you're an actor and you're drawing on your emotions all the time, you need to be quite steady.

I don't think I ate a green vegetable until I was 30. I didn't grow up with a mom who enforced that at all.

I think everything in life happens for a reason. I always think there's room for me to improve as a person.

I give and give, and sometimes I can't find me. I'm sure many moms and wives go down that same rabbit hole.

I think you see in people's eyes what they've been through. Anything in their lives shows up in their eyes.

If you follow your heart, you're never going to regret anything, even if you completely mess up constantly.

You can assess a culture to a degree by the way they receive movies and how they receive a given celebrity.

I say whatever I want, I look whatever I want. That doesn't mean I don't question myself and feel insecure.

I'm not about to go out and buy a snake for a pet. I mean, I may have faced a few fears but I'm not insane.

If I'm walking very, very fast down Madison Avenue in the middle of the day, I'll say I'm stopped 10 times.

I didn’t play video games because my parents didn’t allow it. That was banned from my childhood experience.

I didn't play video games because my parents didn't allow it. That was banned from my childhood experience.

I can't move back to England. My home is in France now. I'd love to but I can't. My family's all there now.

When I moved back to New York, I saw a lot of girls knitting on the subway, and it had a bit of a comeback.

I had so many freckles that my mother used to say that they were kisses from the angels. I still have them.

I guess I just feel bad that I'm still going on bad dates when I should really be in a bad marriage by now.

My family was very unorthodox. My mother was very eccentric and amazing. She always treated us like adults.

I am willing to lend that hand, I will continue to stay involved with my charities as long as they need me.

I like a challenge. I get such a sense of satisfaction when I push myself beyond what I thought I could do.

I want to live in a world where people care about others, and try not to hurt others with words or actions.

Learn to take responsibility for emotions, and to manage energies, always working within present resources.

You wouldn't believe how the town was named for me. I was met by the whole population, headed by the mayor.

I'm not that girl from Freaky Friday any more! I'm a real adult. In fact, I hate children! I hate them all!

If I can change bodies with anyone, it would be Britney Spears because how can you not like Britney Spears?

I felt devalued and disrespected. The energy behind it felt disingenuous and motivated by corporate profit.

Who says there can't be more than one very attractive woman on a show without it becoming CHARLIE'S ANGELS?

Once you embody the language, the character comes really naturally, especially when you put the costume on.

I've never really thought about competing with cartoons. If it ever gets to that point, then just shoot me.
