“אני רוצה שאנשים יהיו מרוצים שהם באו לסרט שלי ולא ירגישו שהם סתם זרקו את הכסף. הכי חשוב לי שהם ייהנו.”
“I was only a bridesmaid for my sister, and it was very calm and small, so I didn't have any tragedy.”
“Everybody's a train wreck in their own very special way. But there's something wildly freeing about someone who's unapologetic, who knows they're a wreck and doesn't even try to hide it, just bulldozes through life.”
“I think everything that any actor does, I would assume, is shaped by how and where they grew up.”
“I just figure if it has my name on it, and I want to make people feel good about wearing it, I can't pass it off.”
“I feel like I got hit with a lucky stick.”
“I didn't wear jeans for, like, a decade of my life.”
“I'm really happy in my life.”
“I was never sullen. I was a terrible punk - I was still so chatty.”
“I have experience dressing me as a 6, a 12, and more. And when you go above a size 12, you don't lose your love of fashion.”
“Funny is funny, and it can come in 8 billion different shades and flavors, so I think it's silly to kind of limit it.”
“I love a woman who's solid in her shoes.”
“The letters I really love are from young actresses who were worried they had to fit a certain look. They say I've opened it up. And I don't just mean plus-size girls. You can push things now. With all the great performances in 'Bridesmaids', it changed how people see funny women.”
“There was a three-year chunk as a teen where I should have been tranquilized and put in a cage.”
“Women are complicated and messy and we are certainly not perfect, but we are funny and challenging and kind, and I wouldn't change a thing”
“Sometimes I wish I were just magically a size 6 and I never had to give it a single thought.”
“I believe in Heaven. I don't believe that this is it, and then we're done.”
“Part of being young is you think gaining 6 lbs. is the end of the world.”
“I'm very boring. But I'm a bit obsessed with women that are so incredibly solid in their shoes that they don't care what other people think of them. I just think there's something so interesting about that kind of confidence.”
“Some days, I want to be prim and proper, and others, I want to be in a band.”
