“I've never been a method actress; I've never been that person that wants to imagine horrible things happening in your own life in order to exploit them for your emotional being in the movie. I'm just not good at doing that.”
“I think all married couples tend to run things by each other in every capacity and we're not different to them.”
“I find weddings really boring. They give speeches, your aunt kisses you on the cheek, and you're at a boring table. But it's different when it's your own.”
“I think audiences have always wanted to see women in the movies, but every time a movie like 'Bridesmaids' comes out, everyone says, 'Oh how funny, people do want to see women in the movies.'”
“I never had the chutzpah to just come to L.A. and make it. I didn't have that confidence. I'm always surprised when I get a job.”
“Comedy has always been important in my family. If you got in a good joke at the dinner table, it meant more than almost anything else.”
“If I'm stuck in traffic or have a bad moment in my day, I go back to my yoga practice, and I breathe.”
“Growing up, there wasn't much emphasis on being nice or naughty. As a family, there wasn't much discipline. It was more relaxed at home, which I'm grateful for.”
“You know, I didn't get to go to university because I've been acting since I was a kid.”
“I love Monty Python, Black Adder, Fawlty Towers. I'm a huge fan of British comedy.”
“I think there is nothing sexier than a handlebar moustache.”
“I'm definitely attracted to other Australians; I have a laid-back attitude to life that I feel is very Australian; I love a good barbie.”
“I don't really watch many heist movies. Actually, I have quite eclectic tastes, but I tend to watch just foreign films. I don't know why that is. I'm not particularly deep or anything, I just like foreign movies.”
“I tell my girlfriends - 'Imagine if all the time you put into waxing and primping, you took all of that energy and put it into something useful.'”
“When you shoot an independent movie you have a very limited amount of time, and you don't want to be that actor, when a poor director is trying to get through a movie, that you're asking at every second to discuss performance.”
“I love good food and I love to eat in nice restaurants. I love Japanese food. I love Gordon Ramsay in London; he is pretty amazing.”
“In Hollywood, you feel a responsibility to look less disheveled than you are. But I'm a mom, and I'm not good at putting time into prepping.”
“I've had no helping hand in Hollywood. But in general, I've found that when it comes to getting jobs, what's meant for you can't pass you by.”
“I just don't want to miss anything in the lives of my children while they are still young. It's why I don't audition for leading roles at all and why I say no to some of the supporting roles that I do get offered.”
“I was raised as a tomboy with boys, and I never really feel like myself when I am really dolled up at premieres and showbiz events.”
