Why can't there be a lot of great women who are doing great things?
I think it's an interesting thing to watch when a person is trying to keep it together and then ultimately when they do lose it a little bit.
You have to leave things that you love.
I don't know if I even consider myself a comedian really - I do comedic acting in some films and dramatic in others.
I love kids. All my best friends have kids, and I love, love, love kids.
I took guitar lessons and recorded the song in New York. It was kind of a dream. I got to pretend I was a recording artist for a couple days.
I am a big David Bowie fan.
I'm one of those people that really pays attention to the music in films.
I would put Flintstones vitamins in it in case I got tired, so I could pop some and keep walking.
I feel there's so much pressure, especially for women, to declare what their life's going to be and what their career is, and are you married yet? Are you single? But you're 30. And girlfriends are so important. You can have a boyfriend or husband when you're 30, but you still need your girlfriends.
There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportunity.
I wish I had less fear about creating my own parts.
Don't do something just because someone else wants you to
You have all this stuff going on in your head, like, 'I can't believe seven years has gone by, and I'm going to miss all these people.' And I'm like, 'Oh, by the way, Mick Jagger is to my right, and I just danced a waltz with him.' So there's that.
