Once a month, I get together with my girlfriends and we usually check into a hotel or go to someone else's house. We can talk for 15 hours, and it just flies by.
What I loved about [The Other Woman] movie was the same thing. It was three women who would never have come together for any other reason except that they had something in common which was this common cause, and that's really the feeling that I wanted this movie to have. It was a huge influence for it.
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.
