You stick to the script, the script is Bible.

I've had more acne as an adult than I had as a teenager. After weaning babies, my skin's gone totally bonkers. I didn't even know about dermatologists until I had weaned my first baby, and my skin was so damaged. It was just beyond. And then, I realized, there's a whole doctor who can help you with this.

I mean, any time an actress gets to work with another actress, it's like, 'Oh, there are two of us in a movie! How are you? Let's sit in the hair chair together!' We're lonely women.

I do all my own stunts!

I never use powder unless I'm about to be in front of a camera. I don't need that matte, crunchy feeling.

I am the model middle child. I am patient and I like to take care of everyone. Being called nice is a compliment. It's not a boring way to describe me.

My mom has always said that the one thing she wishes she had done differently is have a job. She felt like the single-mindedness made her a little nuts sometimes, and she could have used an outlet for herself when we were little.

I wish I was one of those cute pregnant girls who wear skinny jeans throughout their pregnancies. But I just gain weight.

I think that it's not as crazily different, my job, from anyone else's, as people let themselves believe. I think people get wrapped up in their own idea of what it is, but it's really not that.

I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.

My mother is a big believer in being responsible for your own happiness. She always talked about finding joy in small moments and insisted that we stop and take in the beauty of an ordinary day. When I stop the car to make my kids really see a sunset, I hear my mother's voice and smile.

I do like having my ears pierced, because there's a lot more choice in pierced earrings than there is with clip-ons, and they're a lot more comfortable to wear - Sometimes I completely forget I've got them in and end up going to sleep wearing them.

I wasn't allowed to watch regular television when I was growing up, only PBS, so I watched 'Masterpiece Theatre' and a lot of Jane Austen. I loved stories where the girl is attracted to a man and it looks like it's not going to work out.

I don't think my career would be as good if I were a serious actress. Comedy is less age-conscious.

I don't think men really fall in love with the outspoken girl.

I love that topic, the whole relationship thing, and I think that's why I love all this stuff, the Jane Austen stuff.

If things don't work out with one person, there's many other people to replace you with online.

Hugh Grant has that magic in real life, so when he's saying these lines, 'It's always been you,' it's just devastating.

I think I get credit for my timing because most of the time, I really have no idea where I'm going with it.

When people slave over those scripts and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for them, they don't usually want you to add farts.

You get the older version of women that you've played before.

I kind of waited for opportunities to be handed to me. I think I was lazy, and when things didn't go right, I just said, 'Oh well.'

I'm so lucky I got a career in my 30s because these young girls aren't allowed to have their 20s. It's all being documented.

I'm not a prude.
