best family hang kids love wake
I would love to have more kids. Kids are the best part of my day. I don't wake up to make movies. I wake up to hang out with my family.
broadway
I really wanted to be a Broadway kid.
car daughter hates house love sing
I love to sing around the house and in the car, but my daughter hates it.
accept close determined entire horrifying life man somebody
Somebody close to me once said, 'Oh, no man will ever accept your children.' And I just thought it was the most horrifying thing someone has ever said to me in my entire life. I was determined to find somebody who would make that not true.
feet ground raise raised ryan
Ryan and I didn't grow up like this at all, with this much attention. We'll just try to keep their feet on the ground and raise them with the values we were raised with.
believed capable control deal drive finding modern represent roles strong struggles women
My whole drive to be an actor was finding roles that I really believed represent modern women, the struggles that we deal with. Women who are strong and capable and in control of their own lives.
I'm losing friendships over forgetting to get back to people. But you can't keep up with everything. I've got a 13-year-old, a nine-year-old and a baby.
articulate family sure wants
I think it's really interesting to play a woman who can articulate that she isn't ready to have a family and isn't even sure if she wants a family. I have a lot of friends like that. But obviously, that's not me.
awards happens plenty whatever
But listen, I'm 29-years-old, I'm really lucky to be there and whatever happens I've been really blessed already. I have plenty of awards for this movie and if this was it for me I'd be really content.
head hit hook lead people serious watching
It's fun to do a comedy and hook people in and then hoodwink them into watching a serious movie. I like to lead in with the comedy and then hit them over the head with a drama.
people spent trying
I spent a lot of my 20s just trying to make other people happy, rather than trying to figure out if doing that made me happy.
played
I played a lawyer in a movie, so, many times I think I am a lawyer. And clearly I'm not a lawyer, because I got arrested.
bad
I literally think I look bad in every picture.
absolutely great growing kids might time values worry
I worry about my kids growing up and how the world might hurt them. But at the same time, I absolutely do not worry about them growing up - because they have great values and a great sense of self.
