“I don't really like to go out to clubs or anything. It's just not my style. I'd much rather go to a dive bar or a local place.”
“Motherhood is like a big sleeping bag of guilt.”
“Hollywood studio executives don't recognize the value of female performers as much as male performers.”
“Yeah, I do like scary movies, especially the ones that don't take themselves too seriously.”
“My comedy does not come from a place of deep cynicism, and I tend to play characters who are naive in some way.”
“I can't stand confrontation, which maybe is a character flaw. But having said that, I do feel like when I do get upset - which is rare, as my husband and family would say - I have a hard time letting go.”

“אני מתעניינת בפוליטיקה, אבל אני לא מתעניינת בלדבר על זה. קצת מגעיל אותי לפעמים לראות שחקנים מדברים על פוליטיקה כאילו הם איזה מומחים גדולים, או שדעתם חשובה יותר משל אחרים, או כאילו שלאנשים באמת אכפת מה דעתו הפוליטית של שחקן כזה או אחר. חוץ מזה שאני לא רוצה להיכנס לתיוגים הפוליטיים הרגילים של הוליווד.”

“I take pride in how great my relationship is with Chris, but having said that, of course, in this crazy world where he's off doing movies and I'm in L.A. raising our child, of course I'm going to feel vulnerable, like any normal human would.”
“When I travel, it makes me wish I looked completely polished all the time. I don't. I live in sweats.”
“I've been acting since I was 9, but in college I entered the drama program, and I didn't excel at it at all, kind of for the first time.”
“I love to cook really fattening things, like steak and pasta and potatoes.”
