I got away from comedy because it wasn't being done in the way that I loved and the way that I could do it. It made me sad because I felt like it wasn't appreciated and no one was writing it so, 'I'll abandon it.

I've done all my tricks. I'm tired of myself.

You grow up and share life experiences. That's one of the best parts of this business. You share how you're mellowing out and your new sense of self.

I know when I'm getting ready to mess up, I'm going to do it full-on.

Ironing is comfort. It's control. I'm a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place.

It's nice we work in a place where you're allowed to keep coming back to have new experiences together.

Crushes are wonderful-they make you feel like you're two years old, and you say the stupidest things.

Lemons clean everything. It's the greatest disinfectant.

I've never been a blind romantic.

I'll do anything for free stuff.

I don't think we are the only planet that has life.

I can't selfishly take journeys anymore because I have to take a little boy along with me.

Sure, I've done movies in which I was embarrassed by my performance, or might not have cared for a co-star. Then I'd have to tell lies, like, 'Oh, we love each other; everything was perfect!'

The Hollywood I know has allowed me the opportunity after opportunity to keep doing new things and not send me out to pasture. I don't want to go to pasture. It's cold. I'm allergic to grass. And the cows are mean.

I've always wanted to do a female buddy film, the kind the guys get to do.

I don't need any more stories. I have enough stories. I need a life.

I still love being creative. I still love the aspects of working together with great, talented people. But it's a weird dichotomy; I'm being blessed with more opportunities, but I'm going to be taking less of them.

I realize that once I stopped fighting the technical process of how to move my body, I made it choreography.

You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. We're all family - an extended family.

You hear sounds and orchestration, it's ... the fastest way, I think, to your emotions, even if you don't understand the language of the song.

I'm very musically inclined. My parents were opera singers. As a young child, I could hear operas and I knew if they were sad, or if they reminded me of something, or they brought back a memory.

I rely on music heavily, just in life and in my work.

It's such a joy to be able to play someone who is angry. It's a joy and a relief. Having to be nice all the time is exhausting and boring.

We don't trust anyone who does anything nice. That's just the sad world we live in.
