I'm just in work mode, and that prevents me from going into the Hollywood starlet mode, I suppose.

I find beauty in unusual things, like hanging your head out the window or sitting on a fire escape.

When we live our lives everyday, we're met by opportunities, and most of us don't even recognize them.

I look for projects with filmmakers who want to make things that give the audience a fresh experience.

It's important not to lose who you are in a relationship just because it's nice to cuddle with somebody.

Being married is different than not being married, and anybody who tells you that it's the same is lying.

I never struggled with trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do or what made the sparks go for me.

I love road trips, I love driving, I love finding little towns. I just think it's the best way to travel.

I can't think of anything I'd rather do less than have to continuously share details of my everyday life.

I would never knowingly go into a film that I wouldn't pay to see, or something that didn't challenge me.

I went through this realization that acting, at its heart, is the ability to manipulate your own emotions.

When I decide I want to have children with somebody, I think it would be nice to be married to that person.

I just adored working with Woody. He was more than I could have ever dreamed of. I'd do it a million times over.

You think that your life is going to be one way, and then, for various reasons or whatever, it doesn't work out.

Everything you do is different, and you find different chords in every character that you play that strike true with you.

They're [social media] amazing tools to communicate information - especially about different causes or crises or movements.

I think the idea of marriage is very romantic; it's a beautiful idea, and the practice of it can be a very beautiful thing.

I’ve never considered myself a femme fatale as I’ve never seduced anyone and ruined their lives. At least as far as I know.

I think it's important for people to be aware of the impact that climate change is having on this huge community of people.

I don't think about being sexy, being seductive. What you don't want to see is somebody trying to be sexy. That's the most unsexy thing.

It's important for people to figure out their own lives before involving someone else - to gauge where you are and work on your own issues.

I'm an actor for hire. It's important not to forget that you're disposable....When you have that mentality, you fight for the jobs you want.

Every actor has a production company already. It's just a matter of producing your own films under the label of your own production company.

I don't want to be the ingenue anymore. It's nice to be glamorous, but I don't want to always be an object of desire. Because it doesn't last.

For day-to-day beauty, I'm a Q-tip and Vaseline kind of girl. I never leave home without Q-tips - they're a great fix for any makeup emergencies.

I'm just a big believer in 'you must love yourself before you can love anybody else,' and I think for me that breeds the most inspired relationships.

I mean, it's nice to get a dinner reservation ahead of other people, but when it comes down to it, the most important thing to me is the actual work.

If you have breakouts, it can be really healing, it's a little bit stinky, but if you're not sleeping over at your boyfriend's, it's really effective

I always feel like I have to prove myself as an actor, otherwise you get lazy if you're not slightly terrified that you're going to fail all the time.

It's a required part of your film history to know who Woody is. His movies are so wonderful, and not just funny but so insightful about human behavior.

I feel like in 10 or 15 years' time our children are going to look back and say, 'What? You were around when gay people weren't allowed to get married?'

When I'm single, I don't focus. I focus on a guy if he's a boyfriend, but I don't focus on finding a boyfriend. They're never around when you want them.

I've always been very focused on my career. But, it's good to have people [say], "Okay, you need a vacation." "I do? Oh yeah, you're right. I think I do."

I never really thought about getting married - it just kind of happened. It seemed natural, the right thing to do. It was kind of a celebration of the time.

I've always had the same principle for choosing roles, which is to try and make movies that I would pay to see. As I get older, that's meant different things.

I have an obsessive character. I manicure my nails at three in the morning because nobody else can do it the right way. Maybe that's the secret to my success.

I would love to work on Broadway, but I don't know that it would manifest itself in musical theater.... I have terrible stage fright that I'd have to get over.

I wouldn't say I'm a serial monogamist ... I mean, I went through periods of time when I was, ah, single. But when I'm in a relationship, I'm in a relationship.

I've been fortunate enough to travel with Oxfam several times, and they're always so well organized, so it was a good way to show the kind of work they're doing.

I've always been very competitive, and a part of that is pushing your boundaries - taking a risk and being able to live with the loss that comes with taking a risk.

I don't feel the obligation to be a specific weight. I don't feel like I have to fit into a body that's not my body. I have the body I have and I try to maintain it.

Obviously filming and working has consistently been a part of my life. I've never had a huge break of time when I wasn't working on something or promoting something.

You're married, and suddenly you have your own family. There's a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain ... You've got your home in that other person.

I think marriage initially involves a lot of people who have nothing to do with your relationship, because it's a legally binding contract, and that has a weight to it.

I'm very comfortable with my sexuality, my body, my face - well, sometimes I'm not comfortable with my face, but it's stuck there and there's nothing I can do about it.

My mom was always active. She was always an active voter, whether it was local, state, or federal elections. My mom would take us to polling locations when we were kids.

As a person in the public eye, I have always felt that if I have the good fortune of being able to shed a spotlight on different causes that I feel passionately about...

I want to look good, obviously. I don't want to look at the screen and go, Oh, my skin looks terrible, or, I look exhausted. That's why I take care of myself when I work.

I just want to work on things that are really hard, and when I'm not working on things that are really hard, I want to hang out with people I like to be with, and that's it.

I'm terrified to ride a bike in a city - and I grew up riding bikes in the city. I've just heard enough stories - I have enough friends who've been hit by taxicabs and things.
