Love and happiness remind me of sticky peanut butter. When you spread them around, you can't help but end up getting some on yourself!

I think it's good for moms to work. I have three daughters, so I like them to see me working and doing something I'm passionate about.

I felt intimidated the entire time I was in school by my teachers and classmates. But I just knew acting was something I wanted to do.

When I think it's good not to say the truth, I don't say anything. I don't like actors in general, they lie, they are liars, trust me.

If theres something really, really bothering me about a script, then Ill say something, but otherwise I find my answers in the script.

I haven't found the experience of being hot very great. It usually means you are about to be overexposed. I would rather be respected.

I feel like I've really earnt my stripes - I feel ready to play a lead. I would just love to prove I'm good enough to carry a project.

Family holidays and weekends are really brightly colored memories, full of my mother and father, rather than our nannies and au pairs.

I'm not in a mood to fight for things. I feel excited about my career, and I really feel like anything's possible and within my reach.

My censor board is my own heart and mind. Our audience can say that the women in my films are bold or sensual, but never, ever vulgar.

Acting can truly take a toll on your nerves. I mean, we have to be larger than life. Worse, I've seen actors acting off the sets, too.

We are not saints, gods, spiritual human beings that we can sit and decide whether a film will do well or not. It is not in our hands.

When I was 13, I saw him [Elvis] perform live and I suddenly understood what sex is all about. I was screaming at the top of my lungs.

We can't constantly tell stories of heroes. We have to hear the other stories, too, about people in dire straits who make bad choices.

I think it's a bit short-sighted to play any character and not explore, in some respects, the way they act when things get really bad.

I can understand wanting to be invisible and mistrusting people and wanting to understand everything before you engage with the world.

I love shooting guns. I would never shoot an animal or hunt, but I probably would be a very good hit woman. It's hand-in-glove for me.

I am not hugely famous; I am not a name. For me, it's not the size of the role, it's the material and the people you are working with.

I don't wear bright orange clothes or leopard skin boots, but it was really good fun to play someone that does and have an excuse too!

At one point in my life, I was very involved with social causes. I'm still involved, but now I have a family and it's important to me.

I could run for Congress. Why not? Good heavens, if Ronald Reagan can be president, I ought to make a great secretary of the treasury.

I think it's a universal thing in every family, that people have their own specific versions of pivotal events or even small memories.

I didn't cheer in high school. I was the farthest thing from a cheerleader in high school. We made fun of cheerleaders. Everybody did!

I think Vegas is the answer for pregnant people because of insomnia. It's open all the time and you go down and play your silly slots.

My dad didn't see limitations in himself or in other people. He did what he did his way and left behind an extremely unique footprint.

When you walk away from a really wonderful job like that, you start messing with everyone's priorities. It's like you're dissing them.

It’s a nice challenge to escape your reality. I think that’s why actors do what we do. We like to play other people. It’s therapeutic.

I found it atrocious and downright infuriating to learn that one in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime.

I love it if a man makes an effort to get to know my parents and sisters. Getting to know the people who matter to me goes a long way.

I never thought of myself as a movie star. I'm just a working girl. A working girl who worked her way to the top - and never fell off.

I thrive in places where there are different kinds of people and energies that can go into creating a very cosmopolitan kind of space.

When you see 'MHN,' you will see that the film is based on relationships which are serious, but there is a sense of humour to it, too.

Dark matter is interesting. Basically, the universe is heavier than it should be. There's whole swathes of stuff we can't account for.

I can really stomach anything so, as a result, I have watched a lot of really disgusting stuff that I should probably never have seen.

David Duchovny asked me while I was picking out shoes in the closet. It wasn't a special occasion. He just asked, 'Will you marry me?'

Every role requires its own set of tools, and I think, because of that, it is very hard to ever feel totally prepared or totally able.

What's interesting is, for myself, when I become really attracted to somebody, I find them in my dreams... conversations, nothing more.

I grew up on romantic comedies and love watching those films. They were, like, a real joy and a source of great pleasure and an escape.

I'm a girl who always looks at toilets and thinks Wow, how do we waste that much water when there are people who don't even have water?

My fear is that we are losing sight of how much we depend on the EPA to protect not just our environment but the people who live in it.

The nice thing about student drama is that you're allowed to get things wrong, because it doesn't mean no one will ever hire you again.

I have done some tacky films, but then they were all my decisions, and I'm happy to have made those because they have made me who I am.

I'll run through things over and over and over again in my head and think, "How could I have done that better?" Silly things like that.

I created a fitness club with five friends. We have weekly check-ins and a reward system - and group penalties if one of us slacks off.

The thing that every parent hopes for is that the baby's healthy, I'm healthy. No matter how you feel, that's the most important thing.

I love games. When I first saw 'Celebrity Family Feud,' I literally, in all caps, emailed my team and was like, 'Why am I not on this?'

I have a recurring role on 'Person of Interest,' which is my husband's show. I play the love of his life. It was really fun to do that.

I just got my phone back yesterday. My mom had it for two days. I was supposed to read a book and I really wanted to play Call Of Duty.

I'm going to stay on stage until I drop dead. Then I'm going to have myself stuffed, like Trigger, and I'm going to put me in a museum.
