How I work is I work from of very character-driven place. And I trust the writers.
I'd love to be a diva. But I'd then have to send so many apology notes for my abhorrent behaviour.
That's how I prepare for anything - I read whatever I can get my hands on, talk to people. I'm a bit of a nerd like that.
I think there are certain people that you'll always want to impress no matter how much success you have.
Thirty was a big deal for me. It was the age where I reevaluated everything - how I approached life and how I thought about myself. When I look at my 20s, or when I look at any period in my life, I think about how much time I've wasted trying to find the right man.
Perfect isn't normal, nor is it interesting. I have no features without makeup. I am pale. I have blond lashes. You could just paint my face - it's like a blank canvas. It can be great for what I do.
Some of these actresses or public personas who are very public about their disciplined diets, more power to them. I just don't see the point. I'm just not going to be one of those people photographed in a bikini where people are like, 'OMG, look at Amy!' I mean, it might be OMG, but not for the reasons I want.
That's always been my philosophy: I try to just be as straightforward as possible, and then I don't really have to question what I said or regret anything ...
Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.
I was the dork in high school who sang musical numbers up and down the hallways.
Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. I was like, 'Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.' And I've had that relationship ever since.
I do believe that you don't have to act like a man to be strong. You can still be feminine.
I have worked with some of the meanest people in the world. You can't do anything to intimidate me.
Working with green screen, you really rely on the director in a way that you don't on different types of films.
