There's no doubt that motherhood is the best thing in my life. It's all that really matters.
I'm at peace with myself and where I am. In the past, I was always looking to see how everybody else was doing. I wasn't competitive, I was comparative. I just wanted to be where everybody else was. Now I've gotten to an age when I am not comparing anymore.
I like to walk into a house and go, 'Rip up the brown shag carpet and open up that wall with some French doors.'
I know her backwards and forwards. I loved Monica, but you still get tired of it.
In this movie, I feel like I didn't notice Monica in it at all, ... Your instincts would probably be to think about Monica, but I have to make sure you don't.
I guess Pumas are in their 30s. Cougars in their 40s... Jaguars are 50s, and Sabretooths go into the 60s, right?
I had a lot of questions, but they were more about the character than the plot. Greg and I talked a lot about the details of her inner life and the way she coped, a lot more than how I was going to look. Since the story is open to interpretation, I thought it was really important that the character be emotionally accessible, that the audience would be able to identify with her struggle.
I don't think I would ever quit acting, but there are other things I am interested in. I wanted to be an architect, and I wish I knew more about landscaping.
Sometimes I use Botox. Compared to most, I use it very sparingly. One time I did too much, though. I feel weird if I can't move my face, and that one time I overdid it, I felt trapped in my own skin.
When people start messing with their foreheads and can't lift their eyebrows, that's weird.
If anything ever bothers us, we don't hold it in for one second, Cox continued.
We have a kind of pact. If anything ever bothers us, we don't hold it in for one second. From the first day we met, Jen would just drag me out and start telling me stories about her relationships,
We were hoping that the audience was going to be happy about it and not like, 'What they are doing?' ... So when we got a good response, we were really excited. This is my favorite year so far.
