I used to be an optimist, but now I know that nothing is going to turn out as I expect.
I was able to say to everyone, 'Would you be willing to take a role that you've cherished and worked on for a long time and change it to female?' And there was not any hesitation, which was a real win. That hopefully shows a shift in the climate for women in film, although we still have some climbing to do.
Actually, they [ Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump] are doing pretty well on their own. They don't need my character to step in.
As connected as we are with technology, it's also removed us from having to have human connection, made it more convenient to not be intimate.
The thing I remember the most was not understanding why, if you were doing the right thing, then why did people want to kill you? I remember asking my parents, 'Why is it when people are trying to help other people then they're dying?'
A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don't want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.
I don't want to be seen as the kind of person who does things and then expects publicity in return. I look at it as, I happen to have the means, I have the energy and I have the passion to do what I want to do.
The costume designer designing clothes that helped the comedy in The Proposal, that sold the character. Each and every detail was so perfectly thought of, what wouldn't be here? That's a lost art.
I love people in elements that they're not used to.
People who do comedy really are the nastiest people on the planet.
If I can do anything in this time of my career, I want to make it easier for other actresses and girls who are growing up to go, 'I get to be a part of a comedy or an action film or a romantic comedy or a thriller or just a romance, without having to wind up with someone to complete us.' I complete me. I just got lucky that, after I completed myself, I met someone who could tolerate me.
I consider myself sort of like a pseudo lawyer. Like, I'm convinced I can solve every case and argue my way.
I don't like guys who will lie down and take it. I want someone who'll fight back. I like people who can argue well.
People order clothes out of a catalogue, put it on an actor and everything is generic.
Makeup is scary. When I do it myself, it's just mascara, and sometimes I forget even to do that.
I know nothing about Christianity, nothing about football, and I'm not a Republican.
Free is the best. Anything free is good.
I never realized that as a woman I would be looked at as less than until I was pretty deep in this business and realized, 'Oh my God. I'm being treated this way because I'm female.
I think in general, romantic comedies tend to take one person's point of view, but every once in a while you get something that is balanced for two people.
I think most people have that out-of-body experience when they win the Oscar.
I will make myself sick on films, just because you want everything to be right. I can't sleep if something hasn't been done or is out of place.
I would love to be on 'Top Gear' as a star in a reasonably priced car.
I've always wanted to do a female buddy film, the kind the guys get to do.
I've been in enough films where the studio wanted that extra little cuteness to make it sellable.
Every single second of every single day... I don't know if I feel like a bad mom, but at the end of the day I'm always plagued with, 'Did I do enough? Should I go in a different direction?'
