I didn't think I was a humorless shrew in 'Knocked Up.' I think the women are just as funny as the men are in that movie.
Basically, I just want to do a movie where I'm surrounded by women.
Along with age comes more confidence, so it kind of works out.
Women do not like CDs of live music. We only like the original recordings. If a song sounds different from the version we fell in love with, then it's awful.
Everything is so chaotic. My nervous system can't handle it. I need my peace, so, every once in a while, while the kids are at school, I lie in bed, close the curtains, watch television and eat food.
I'm so sick of seeing these movies where married couples are just cuddling on the couch and caressing each other's faces.
They say that when a woman wants to end a relationship, she cuts off all of her hair. I've done that twice in my marriage but am still married.
I don't take anything at face value. I always look for the reasons people are the way they are.
I don't quite fit in in like a pure dramatic thing, but I still think of myself sometimes as sort of a dramatic actress.
You have nothing to offer if you're just some machine actress.
There aren't good roles for women: the female parts aren't developed: the women are serving the men.
I'm not willing to spend too much time away from my kids, so I usually don't work that much.
I didn't think, 'I want to do dramas or I want to do comedies' - I wasn't clear in that way.
I'm not really interested in doing a traditional romantic comedy where everything ties up neatly.
