My mother is a beauty.

Mediocrity is underrated.

One person's crazy is another person's refreshing.

Unless you got a really good reason, you should be nice.

I'm just damseling mostly. I'm not very good with a gun.

I don't get tired of hearing that somebody liked my work.

I just want to make lunches and organize my kids' playroom.

Don’t have a fall back, because if you do, you’ll fall back.

The first thing I ever bought for myself was a green Lacoste shirt.

I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.

I don't live in Los Angeles and I don't do a lot of superfluous press.

I enjoy cooking and baking. Alicia Silverstone's vegan cookbook is awesome.

My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.

I do love my avocados, which are great for the skin. I eat pretty healthfully.

People have a problem with me being different, but that propels me forward in life.

It's good to feel stupid sometimes and do things that are out of your comfort zone.

I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.

My sister's fish tacos are out of control. I'd give her a restaurant if I were a gazillionaire.

My parents have been together for 65 years. They're both really stubborn. They're not quitters.

The theater is who I am - it's where I feel the most inspired, the most at home, the most useful.

I don't think you necessarily have to be part of a traditional nuclear family to be a good mother.

I certainly was never the pretty girl at school, but I can go to a lot of different places with this face.

I have a child and I don't want to be at work all the time when he's small. I want to spend time with him.

I like A&E. I like those corny intimate-portrait things. They're so kind of ingenious and artificial and soothing.

In college, my teachers were usually after me for going after comedy too much, leaning too much in that direction.

I'm not comfortable with getting a job by being at the right Hollywood party; I'm not a terribly sociable creature.

I'm naked in Esquire in August. I was naked on the set the other day. I'm always naked. I'm naked right now, in fact.

I don't often see the movies I'm in; I'm usually disappointed in myself and it only serves to make me self-conscious.

Look, I don't care if anyone likes me when it comes to my work. But I can be massively insecure in other parts of my life.

I have to say, I haven't really worked with that many people in my career that I haven't liked, which I think is really rare.

With TV, there's a continuum with the crew and the cast so you feel like you have a sense of community in a way, which is similar to theater.

I don't think anyone honestly would hire me, so I don't think I have to worry but, if it was well written I would do it. I would do anything.

I never know why people come up to me. I think a lot of them just get super-excited because they recognize me from TV but they don't remember where.

Just when I got out of school, I seemed to get hired for a lot of dramatic things, and people tend to remember you how they've seen you the first time.

You can tell actually when he starts to talk about his family, or his Daughters, or his Wife, and his whole face - really he's so really kind of a dear.

It's the best part of the whole movie. John Malkovich with a pink pig is - you can't get better than that. Then John Malkovich alone and then you add a pink pig.

I don't really ever think about whether or not I like the characters I'm playing. I'm more into the minutiae of their behaviour or what they're doing in a certain scene.

I like to pretend that I'm a tough guy. It's kind of an admission of defeat if I have to ask for help - or even kindness. But if it doesn't come, at some point I snap and demand it.

I don’t think it’s that controversial. I’m really in favor of legalizing marijuana. I thought people would be more offended by [this series] than they are. I’m surprised they weren’t.

My favorite scene in all of movies is Gregory Peck in To Kill A Mockingbird: You see him where he's on the porch, and his face is almost completely obscured. I don't want to see his face.

I feel like movies, if there's any kind of budget whatsoever, there's so much sitting, and I really like to work. Otherwise my blood sugar just drops, you know, six hours sitting in a camper.

I always wondered what people thought of it because it looked so stupid to me on the page and I loved the other finale so I thought it was going to be really stupid but some people really liked it.

You can never really tell, it's kind of a red herring until you see the project I think. You just know if you like working with someone or not, and he does have a real sweetness about him, I think.

People ask me, 'Why are you doing a show on Showtime?' Because I'll do anything really, I don't really care, I'll do a show on Nickelodeon if I thought it was well written. Actually Nickelodeon's kind of awesome.

I just get to go to work with such great actors who are so talented, especially Elizabeth (Perkins). You are so wonderful and kind and good and wonderful and sexy and great, and I just want to make out with all of you.

I really prefer acting in the theater the most. In some ways TV is closer to that because there's more of a regularity to the schedule. You have to finish an episode by a certain day. Movies can just go on interminably.

Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones.

We're dodging bullets and this is right after we've just seen [inaudible] shot and we're running and the woman who John accused of being out to kill us and everyone thought he was kidding. When we see her she appears and she's after us.

There's something really sweet about the way he's playing the part and he's kind of irresistible in a way. They're both really lonely. That's kind of established from the very beginning in the movie. The way they meet is just classic, lonely losers.
