Perfectionism is boring and doesn't exist-to strive for it makes you uninteresting.
Well I'm a 5 year old at heart; I still think that there is a monster under my bed - and I'm not joking. It's pathetic, it's really not cute.
I make conscious decisions to stay out of the limelight. Without my make-up I'm pretty much the girl next door.
I don't usually lose my temper, but if I get angry, it's true - I'm scary.
I just want to be known for things other than my sexuality.
I think that, when you play a mother, whether you play a bad mother or a not so great mother or an amazing mother, being a mother is already so complicated. It's already three-dimensional, automatically, no matter what the role is, because you're playing a mother.
I love every aspect of being a woman. I believe you should celebrate who you are.
I love having a man in my life, and being his woman at the end of the day. I know it's a dichotomy.
I’m actually taking advantage of my time off. You know, I had a film that was pushed, so I’m home spending time with my family, going to the gym and actually enjoying taking care of myself…This year has been great for me because I’ve learned how to relax. The last three years have been amazing but kind of crazy. So I don’t know, I feel grounded. I feel really good.
Personally, I think wearing a baby chinchilla says, 'I'm ignorant.'
I love my country, but I believe that we are too quick to censor nudity
I don't go to premieres. I attend film openings I'm in, and that's about it. Fame and celebrity doesn't matter to me. The longevity of my career does.
Anchorman' is my favorite movie of all time and Ron Burgundy is one of my favorite characters of all time. It's my 'Gone With the Wind.
But I've never felt objectified. Nothing you see me do is an accident.
