The ultimate is finding a place where you have no inhibitions, nothing to hide, where you can learn with one another.

I couldn't be in a relationship without equality, generosity, integrity, spirit, kindness and humor. And awesomeness.

I love that topic, the whole relationship thing, and I think that's why I love all this stuff, the Jane Austen stuff.

I was, like, this token teen angst child of Broadway. It's so funny. What is that? I don't even know. But I loved it.

I am usually part of any disaster at a wedding if I'm a bridesmaid, which I've been lucky enough to be several times.

I grew up in Kentucky, but I did not grow up like that. I had heat, and I didn't have to shoot my dinner or anything.

I've read my grandmother's memoirs and she served as a nurse during World War II. What they had to do was incredible.

I don't remember, at 19, someone giving me a golden key and saying, 'Welcome to Hollywood; which job would you like?'

I've been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.

As an actor, you’ve got to live and learn, and you gotta just kind of form a hard shell and be confident in yourself.

There are 10-20 times more male comics than female comics; it's something to do with the social structure of society.

I have friends who vote Tory, and I'm appalled, but that's not to say they're not great people in so many other ways.

No one I know is actually so rude as to tell me I've become duller since having children. But I'm sure they think it.

Most of the time we've been living in England and now we've bought an apartment in New York which we absolutely love.

I have girlfriends who've had Botox and been left with lumps in their faces. And the lips, don't even get me started.

I definitely am afraid of the dark. Somehow, in my mind I can always come up with some horrific stuff to worry about.

People say as a woman actor your career is over at 40. But then they told me I would never work again after I was 16.

The world is littered with movies about people that are depressed that either did not come out or are not successful.

I never know what's going to move me. I'm always surprised. And it's always a mystery to the people who work with me.

I'm a storyteller, and everyone in this family expresses themselves through writing to get through life's milestones.

I imagined my fantasy co-author would look like Miranda Kerr, but have the intellect and comedic timing of Liz Lemon.

The fact of the matter is that everybody treats me pretty much as one of the boys, which I take as a great compliment

I like a director that encourages me to be playful. I don't really like being restricted or controlled by a director.

Even after such milestones as Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar, there still seem to be few women in leadership roles.

I love making money, but you can't live your life waiting to get rich in a job that no longer feeds you artistically.

I just don't think [Payne] was the right time to do it, maybe. It was timing, not so much that it was executed wrong.

I know how to stand up for myself. I say no when I want to, yes when I want to, and no one can really change my mind.

There's stuff I don't like to rehearse, really emotional things, I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.

I think I like playing the bad girl. I like complicated. I like flawed, messed up complicated. It's more interesting.

I love indoor cycling - it has made a really big difference. I feel a lot skinnier. It's kind of the ultimate cardio.

You see, I was never a big fan of contemporary movies because they always make actresses and actors look too perfect.

I don't know why I'm suddenly playing nasty people. It is very fun, though, and it isn't real, at the end of the day.

Michael Hogan is an absolutely brilliant actor, so anytime I get to work with someone of that caliber, I get excited.

It's kind of nice to play somebody that isn't psychotic or half-machine or dead or dying or on a spaceship somewhere.

When I was younger, it was like, 'Yay, lesbians love me!' I didn't know there was a responsibility that came with it.

My greatest strength is common sense. I'm really a standard brand - like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate.

I think the reason that very few people really fall in love with anyone is that they're not willing to pay the price.

If I start going back to church, I'd have to stop the smoking and drinking, and I wouldn't be able to curse any more.

The Brazilian bikini wax is torture. To show a little appreciation, you could trim your nose hair. And your nut sack.

I've twice accidentally stolen something, and both times I went back and paid for them when I realized I had done it.

In my normal life, I do not speak with an accent. It's harder for people to realize my hearing loss in everyday life.

I am not into action and adventure on holiday; that doesn't really do it for me. I would much rather go and lie down.

I'm a little bit sillier than past Cinderellas... at least, I am so far. But it's only the second day into rehearsal!

Everyone has these ideas, especially about the middle of the country, about people being backwards and three-toothed.

I took everything really seriously and was overly sensitive about things, and I think that's rooted in perfectionism.

I don't want to get pigeonholed, and I want to try my hand at anything that excites me. I'm not just a Disney writer.

I need someone who understands an artist's mentality. I couldn't be with someone who wouldn't let me have my freedom.

Women's clutches are too small. I open my purse, and with some hydraulic force, a tampon shoots 12 feet into the air.

Sometimes you don't want the truth. Sometimes you're like, "Oh just tell me the good answer. I don't want the truth."

What people forget is that I'm an actress. That's the wonderful thing about what I do. I get to play different roles.
