As I absorbed life here and understood it better, I just completely fell in love with England.
Beauty fades! I just turned 29, so I probably don't have that many good years left in me.
Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.
Because I was newly pregnant, I was sick as a dog, yet I knew all my lines from a year before.
Europeans are incredibly negative about America at the moment. I think they lose sight of the fact that the country's a very divided place right now.
I don't know who decided that skinny was more appealing than not skinny. It seems arbitrary.
I have a very highly developed sense of denial.
I just had a baby. I'm not going to work unless it's something really special and meaningful, because I can't imagine missing all that time with my daughter.
I moved to New York from California when I was 11, so initially I was seen as the California person for a while. I didn't feel like I was popular, but I did feel confident.
I put on the fat suit and went outside and walked around. I was really nervous about being found out, but nobody would even make eye contact with me. It really upset me.
I really like where Tony Robbins says that we're all hypnotized to see beauty this one specific way, and it's true.
I say what I think, and I stand behind what I say.
I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda, it's still a fantastic, amazing place.
I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married.
I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.
I understand what it feels like not to like aspects of yourself. There have been times that I have felt really terrible about the way I look. I have the seed of that feeling.
I was having such a hard time when I made Sylvia. I gave everything I had for that role. It's one or two or three things I'm most proud of in terms of my work. But it was very dark.
I was very interested in art and art history. I probably would have pursued that somehow - working in a gallery or an auction house.
I wasn't the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let me act until I graduated from college.
I, of course, have insecurities, based on physical things that I wish were different, but I have to tune that out.
I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.
I've had a very interesting career. I get to do amazing things and work with amazing people and travel and learn languages - things most people don't get the opportunity to do.
If we were living in ancient Rome or Greece, I would be considered sickly and unattractive. The times dictate that thin is better for some strange reason, which I think is foolish.
If you let yourself be driven crazy by scrutiny and the things people say, you could develop insecurities about anything.
In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.
It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that.
It really changed my life. When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same.
It's a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can.
Jack Black is incredibly hilarious. I think he's really appealing, so sexy. When I watched the movie, I really thought he was sexy.
My dad always said he couldn't remember a time when I did not want to act.
My father, he was like the rock, the guy you went to with every problem.
My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.
My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that's pretty seductive.
Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business.
People have become inappropriate. People have pushed too far. People have climbed one too many fences. I'm just tired of it.
Sometimes when things you love get really commercial, you end up feeling betrayed by it.
The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.
The idea is just to stay under the radar as much as possible. At all times. Whatever the city. It's not always easy.
The Jewish part of me is superstitious.
There's something that sort of weirds me out about actors who want to be rock stars, and the other way around too.
To have to imagine everything, sometimes it is a little bit daunting. Especially when they would tell you to react to something.
We feel it's unacceptable to be fat, when it has nothing to do with who the person actually is.
When you're so out there in the public eye, people are constantly criticizing every aspect about you.
Women were real box office stars in the '40s, more so than men. People loved to see women's films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system.
