I am lucky enough to be married to a guy who tells me I look beautiful every day.
I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.
I started out in stand-up, so it's very satisfying to make people laugh, but it usually means at your own expense.
Show me the story. I just want to tell a story that pulls me forward.
There's a small club of women who are willing to age.
The sexiest thing in the world is to be totally naked with your wedding band on.
It's fun to be loose. Just like on stage, all of your great ideas come from looseness.
I don't think that I'm that easy to live with. I have to be reminded that I can have fun. I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.
Just because we're on schedule is no reason to shoot bad acting. Someone once said to me, 'You're inconsiderate.' And I said, 'Inconsiderate? Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.' It's a collective slap to a million faces at the same time.
I just live in the truth and think that every moment counts.
I just want to sleep, and eat, and learn about what's going on in the world.
My grandmother gave birth to 13 children and I come from a long line of women who gave birth in their 40s.
Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.
I have a thing with the camera. The lens is unconditional. It doesn't judge you.
