I'm difficult on every single level. I'm aware that I can be annoying.

I go to bed wearing a very baggy one-piece cheetah suit, just because it makes my son laugh. My sexy lingerie has been locked in a drawer for a while.

I don't like to fly. I've never been a good flyer. I have a lot of friends that have permanent nail marks in their arms... The moaning that comes from me when there is turbulence. It's awkward for everyone around.

Anything sweet, really sweet, that I have was nothing that I planned.

Women should do a lot more fighting. I don't think it's fair that we can't get into a good fight.

I don't like guys who will lie down and take it. I want someone who'll fight back. I like people who can argue well.

There's something sexy about a gut. Not a 400-pound beer gut, but a little paunch. I love that.

I'm not a fan of reality shows, but I am a fan of people who use their brains and skills and hard work to outsmart people, not to steal someone's man or get drunk on TV.

There's so many different ways to cheat. People think infidelity is the way to cheat. I think it's sometimes far worse to emotionally cheat on somebody.

I'm simply the mom who makes the lunch, drives to school, finds where the toys are, washes the clothes, and I'm here to play. And that's all I should be.

I've been in enough films where the studio wanted that extra little cuteness to make it sellable.

I didn't have a teenage or early-20s experience that was free and without worry. I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase.

I hate the term 'rom-com.'

I don't know if I always want to be in front of the camera. I love producing, I love the camaraderie. I love the adventures. I love the stress.

I don't want to be seen as the kind of person who does things and then expects publicity in return.

I've lived next door to people all my life. I don't know how cute they think I am.

I don't understand why there needs to be a love interest to make women go see a film. I think society sort of makes us feel that way - that if you don't have a guy, you're worthless.

You can't really dance properly to James Brown. If you dance to James Brown, you look like an idiot. There's a lot of jerking.

I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.

I like lists, I'm controlling, I like order. I'm difficult on every level.

Y'know, every relationship is different. There are good marriages, bad marriages, connected partners, unconnected partners.

There weren't roles for females in comedies for a really long time.

If you can't categorize a film for a studio, it's really difficult for them to wrap their heads around it and give you the money.

I don't want an opportunity to go missing because of my lack of organization.

Nothing makes me happier than dancing. It transforms me. It's the only time I let out what is inside and I feel completely sensual and sexy and alive.

It's sad when you say a $30 million film is an inexpensive film, but it is.

Go find your joy. It's what you're going to remember in the end.

On the Hugh Grant romance rumours: We're not dating and I'm not pregnant. We have not kissed or touched. We have not fought and broken up.

I can't cry on demand. I need to feel what I'm feeling. I can't just say, 'Give me a moment' and then cry.

Now, I love men, but I don't need to always be talking about them.

Actually, they [ Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump] are doing pretty well on their own. They don't need my character to step in.

I think a lot of actors, comedians, musicians, artists are drawn to this world, because you're allowed to excavate whatever it is that you're struggling with, and hopefully turn it into art.

My mother was ahead of her time as a woman.

The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren't trying.

I'm a good actress. That's why you know me as likable.

Yeah, I'm nervous. I'm wearing heels in public for crying out loud.

I love people in elements that they're not used to.

People who do comedy really are the nastiest people on the planet.

People order clothes out of a catalogue, put it on an actor and everything is generic.

Did I really earn this, or did I just wear you all down?

Motherhood is beautiful. Everything [my son] does makes me so happy.

If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what life is about.

I don't understand women who try to be glamour queens.

It's such a joy to be able to play someone who is angry. It's a joy and a relief.

Not everything has to be immediate.

Does age matter? Time doesn't matter.

The truth is in the kisses.
