I ran right back to work. My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body.
I've never been interested in playing the boring ingenue.
I don't really know why I'm not thinner than I am.
Pretty much everyone I know, no matter what size, is trying some system. Even when someone gets to looking like she should be so proud of herself, instead she's like, 'I could be another three pounds less; I could be a little taller and have bigger lips.' Where does it end? You just have to say, 'It's pretty damn good. I am right here at the moment and I'm OK with it. I've got other things to think about.'
Once you start writing a character visually, you're in trouble.
In terms of threshold, as long as it's based in reality, you can go pretty far, as long as you buy that it's really happening.
I do think comedy needs to be a living thing, but I think without a great script and fully realized characters, you cannot keep it living. Otherwise it just becomes long and rambling indulgent.
I think the reason I'm an actress is because I love playing kind of a more extreme people.
Part of being young is you thinking that gaining 6 lbs. Is the end of the world
I've always had mostly gay male friends.
I believe in Heaven. I don't believe that this is it, and then we're done.
I've never felt like I needed to change. I've always thought, 'If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.' But sure, criticism can sometimes still get to me. Some things are so malicious, they knock the wind out of you. It's like I'm managing to achieve all this success in spite of my affliction... Would you ever put [America's plus-size sweetheart] in the headline for a male star?
I've grown to love L.A., but it's the most socially awkward place. All these people have come there not to be something but to pretend to be someone trying to be someone. Even in line for coffee, you're standing with someone who's trying to be so interesting.
I'm not a great pregnant woman.
I went to school for clothing and textiles and thought this is what I was going to do. Then I started working in costumes and literally said, 'I don't know if I can take the actors.'
I want to be healthy.
Sometimes I wish I were just magically a size 6 and I never had to give it a single thought.
It's funny; as I get older I'm reverting to my roots - I want to plant stuff.
I watch HGTV like a maniac, and when it's bad, it's like some crazy college guy watching a football game.
You can't just play crazy. It makes you push yourself to stay in the realm of reality. And when you do that, it's a lot funnier. That's my favorite, when you think it's a real strange person and not just someone being wacky.
I just don't lose weight easily.
I am not a princess, I don't want to be referred to as a princess - I find that super creepy.
