If it's not happening, write your own thing!
Nobody knows how long you're going to have life on Earth, so you really have to work at being joyous and happy.
I think that being a mother, you would do anything for your children. Their pain is your pain; if they're in pain, you feel their pain.
People struggle in marriages and more than 55% of people get divorced.
In real life, I always look at people and how they walk, or how they carry themselves. I think about the body a lot, in performance.
I can't believe when you write something from within, how many people relate to it.
I feel like there is this resurgence of amazing roles for women. It's because TV is so good - there are amazing parts for women on TV, and it's upped the game in movies.
I think people pick up on that. You use personal stuff and mix it all in - I definitely pull on that stuff in my acting.
I try to put my own history in my work.
There's so much to watch, I can't even keep up.
I want to do something I feel like I can do.
Sometimes a fan comes up to me, and I'm really interested in how they're acting, so I'll study them and use that in my material.

I do use my body a lot, to click into a character.
I went to drama school at New York University.
I consider my comedy to be dramatic comedy. I always wanted music underscoring the dramatic monologue. It was always drama with comedy, in my head.
I have always loved both drama and comedy.
I'm so respectful of good writing. It's the blueprint for the movie. You have to have that script there because, if you don't, you're going to have problems. It's very important. It's also a gut instinct.
You really get a feeling, when you're reading scripts, pretty quickly. Within 20 or 25 pages, you can get a sense of the part. I always think about whether I'm right for it and whether I can do it. If I don't think I'm right for it, it should go to somebody else.
I really love having lots of down time with my kids.
I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered, where I've been like, "I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me."
Marriage can be complicated.
