I think that we, as monkeys, want to live in smaller groups. It's very scary when we're all - as wonderful as it is - connected.
If you're in high school, just know there is a big world out there and you can be anyone you want to be.
Everybody just wants to be loved, and nobody feels loved enough in high school.
I've got a lot of nervous energy and I trip a lot. I don't have a good equilibrium. In the places where the physical comedy was necessary, it came very naturally and it was fun.
I crave the diversity because I'm an actor and it's more fun to play different types of characters, but I'm pretty spontaneous as well, so I don't rule anything out.
I can fill my cup up with real human interactions that allow me to be an actor. If I had no basis for relationships, as Kristen Bell, the human, I couldn't be an actress.
It's definitely a difficult thing to capture and I mean, I've seen a ton of movies where I've believed the couple and I've seen a ton of movies where I have not believed them at all. Unfortunately, as an audience member, you check out if you don't believe them.
I have a lot of responsibilities, but I don't think I've grown up.
I work in a creative industry. My work isn't terribly hard, it's artistically explorative, so I have no complaints.
As the actor, you just have to believe in what your character is doing in order to play them.
I came out of the make-up trailer with 400 whiteheads on my face and they were like, "Kristen, come on!" I was like, "What? It's realistic! I had whiteheads in high school," and they were like, "No, let's just go with regular, standard, run of the mill acne."
I don't think I have the stomach Veronica has. I think I have the determination and the stubbornness and a little bit of the go-get-em. But I think I'm about 20 percent more girl than Veronica is. There's a lot of Veronica that hits home with me, the sort of feisty area. But I think that I have a little bit more girl. I'd scream my head off if I saw a body in the freezer.
We have a family calendar and it's how everybody runs. In truth, there's no trick to balancing it. If you look at the calendar and you've seen you've gone 10 days without a date night, you know you need to prioritize more.
Part of my becoming a vegetarian was that I would look at my burger, then look at my dogs, and I wasn't able to see a difference.
