I think that at the time, when I was first pregnant, it was hard to make the transition from being totally self-involved to not being able to think about myself at all. At the end of the day, I think that's the best thing that someone can go through. I think it makes you a better person. It doesn't mean that people who don't go through that aren't good people. For me, it was a good thing.
I never felt comfortable leaving my kids until they were older. When they were babies, I remember thinking that I could never go on a Jerry Bruckheimer set and feel comfortable.
I'm very comfortable when I'm working; I don't hold back at all.
I'm not really interested in doing a traditional romantic comedy where everything ties up neatly.
I'm not willing to spend too much time away from my kids, so I usually don't work that much.
Men. We love them. We respect them. But we rarely get to objectify them.
I was teased relentlessly when I was a kid about my voice, so it's kind of nice that now I'm making a lot of money with it.
Sixteen is a hard time. A lot of kids are experimenting with things.
I feel very protective of younger actresses, because it was so hard for me in the business.
I feel like I could be good at directing or producing, but I don't know.
I tried to kickbox once right after I had my first baby, and I was so miserable; it was so hard. And I went home, and I passed out for three hours because it's so hard.
It's always fun to think about winning an award. I thought about winning awards when I was a little girl. Everybody wants to win an award for something.
Don't assume I have everything figured out... I get as confused about life as everybody, and sometimes I think I'm just hurtling through the world without a plan at all.
I've known my two best girlfriends since junior high school.
