I'm just attracted to human behavior and how people sometimes never would interact with one another or be in each other's sphere of awareness.

I have a weird vision of relationships because my parents have known each other since second grade, and they got married right out of college.

Keep an eye on what your kids are seeing online. Parents need to stay involved in what their children are being exposed to. It's so important.

It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.

I think it's fascinating that there's a whole holiday dedicated to things that we fear and that's so interesting about the nature of humanity.

Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That's my life motto.

The stage always terrified me. The live audience is just one thing I bewilderingly look back on and say, 'How did I ever participate in that?'

What's great is that starting a blog can get you lot of attention for your writing. But it doesn't have to be for anybody other than yourself.

I don't know about everyone else, but I really loved lunch and recess because it was an opportunity to get carried away with your imagination.

I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I'm actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons.

Now I can tell you something dirty. I like men who have a foot fetish. I absolutely think it's the most charming thing. It's just so romantic.

Today, people like Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep have vowed to improve the opportunities for women, but those promises are still unusual.

Most New Yorkers want to look amazing, and they want you to understand that they look amazing, but they also want you to stop staring at them.

A young Brit girl with no theatre experience decided to take on an iconic American role on Broadway. Maybe I should have thought that through?

[The dancing] was a challenge. It was fun, though. I was nervous, at first, because I danced so long ago that it was weird picking it back up.

Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth and I have to say when I'm riding around in that crazy Space Mountain ride I'm happy.

I don't believe in expending energy on something you can't do anything about. If there was some easy way of fixing things, I'd probably do it.

The thing about doing anything artificial to your hair is that you have to look after it. So you're always vulnerable to the weather and time.

When you doubt one thing about yourself, you start thinking there's also something wrong with your hair, your body, your clothes, your accent.

Illegal downloading, digital cheating, and cutting and pasting other people's stuff may be easy, but that doesn't make those activities right.

I can't drive, so I don't need a flash car, and I like living at home, so I don't need a mansion. I'm sensible with money. It's not why I act.

I wouldn't say I'm normal. But I'm relatively stable. When I think of normal, I think of mediocrity, and mediocrity scares the f--- out of me.

It's always fun messing around with costumes and stuff. You know there is an element of acting that you've got to dress-up; that's part of it.

When you do things for the right reasons, eventually no matter how long it takes, people will take notice of it and can't help but respect it.

It's a very big deal to me to remain the same person because I know all of this is going to be gone one day and I'm just going to have myself.

At the age of ten, I thought if a boy kissed you on the lips, you would have a baby, and I surely wasn't the only youngster who believed that!

There are a million little things, but one of the best ways to get to know characters is to just put them in situations and see what they say.

Im more keen on the person Im involved with showing me his commitment rather than going through a marriage to display commitment to the world.

Mornings and afternoons are my family time and I'm lucky that I can drop the kids off at school, I don't have to be at the office or anything.

Motherhood sort of puts things into perspective, and it's bout real life, and life is about people, what we give, what we take, what we share.

I've never worn plus size brands, and I never had to because I found what worked for my body type. So my advice is to find what works for you.

I love the idea of farm to table and farmer's markets. I enjoy a meal more if I know I'm eating something that's good quality and good for me.

Even though it'll never be flat again, my stomach is my favorite part of my body because it reminds me of my greatest achievement - my babies.

What I loved about breast-feeding was that bond of one-on-one time. The serotonin that's released calms you down and connects you to the baby.

I'll use men's shirts, I love men's shirts, but you have to get them altered because they're shaped differently and I like them to be fitting.

We all think there is a formula, (but) as long as we love our children, that's really the only solid thing I know that works across the board.

The dog actors and the relationship they have with their trainers is one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched happen in front of me.

I'm an assistant storyteller. It's like being a waiter or a gas-station attendant, but I'm waiting on six million people a week, if I'm lucky.

The people who did you wrong or who didn't quite know how to show up, you forgive them. And forgiving them allows you to forgive yourself too.

This toxic striving for perfection is a female thing. How many men obsess about being perfect? For men, generally, good enough is good enough.

If I'm ever lucky enough to be part of an awards tribute, I hope they play 'Muffin Top' in my little clip. That's how I want to be remembered.

I'm a character actress, and my particular brand is more mature, so I had to wait until my age caught up with the tricks in my little arsenal.

When I look back, I think I must have been hugely motivated. I would have loved for somebody to say, 'You go for it!' I just didn't have that.

If you're contriving something, if you're making something up, it's not funny. You can tell. It's instant. It has to come from someplace real.

Put a Post-It note on your mirror that says: 'Someone has to succeed. There's no reason why it shouldn't be me.' Repeat before every audition.

I lived in a town of 400 until I was like nine or ten. My dad coached all the sports - he was a gym teacher and health teacher for grades K-12

As the middle begins to feel safe enough to accept some of the so-called radical thinking, ideas move to the middle and a new edge is created.

The state and the church seldom approve of anything I do. I don't need their approval. I don't aspire to the heterosexual nuclear family model

You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.

During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it's more painful than it ever was.
