Timing is everything with relationships.
Invest in your brain, invest in your talents. Those things can appreciate and they get better as you get older.
Everything French is amazing, especially creme brulee, but then burnt sugar works for me in any capacity.
Fail fast. Fail often... The most talented people in the world have bad ideas. That's a good thing to learn.
People are not enjoying life because they're trying to be something or brand themselves.
I would [call myself a feminist], yes, I believe in the unadulterated advancement of women. And we have so far to go still.
I can be pretty persuasive if I believe in something strongly enough.
I was a chubby, chubby little tub-tub. At the times when it mattered: twelve, thirteen, and fourteen. I'm so happy I was. If you're beautiful young, you really miss out on developing parts of yourself.
I am generally cast as the dependable, affable, loving, friend-wife-girlfriend.
Good rom-coms have some reflection of the way things are, the sign of the times.
My dad always tell me to make decisions from love and not from fear.
With acting, the stark reality for women is that it's nearly impossible to get older in an elegant fashion as an actress. Either you're fighting your age, or you're having to own it in a way that feels inelegant, or you're Meryl Streep and you're an angel from God.
For the most part, having more money and more fame make your life harder. It just does. I've seen it happen with people. You know, it's so hard to stay normal. It's so hard to stay happy. It's hard to remember why you were doing what you did in the first place.
I don't think that there's been one example in history where somebody has openly talked about their personal life and it's done them any good.
