I don't believe in email. I'm an old-fashioned girl. I prefer calling and hanging up.
I knocked part of my tooth out with a scrubbing brush on stage whilst singing 'Hard Knock Life' in Annie.
I love the smell of diapers; I even like when they're wet and you smell them all warm like a baked good. I love the smell of Balmex. Love it.
I really love beautiful, well-made clothes. I don't shop [a lot], so I tend to have pieces for a long time. I like mixing vintage with newer designers.
I think women should have what they determine to be a staple in their closet, because who's to say that my staple is someone else's staple? I'm this tall, and I live in this city, and I have to walk the kids to school, and I don't tend to drive as much - my life requirements are radically different than yours or hers or his. Staples are: What do you need? And then, what do you want? "Need" comes first, typically; "want" gets taken care of occasionally.
In a relationship, when does the art of compromise become compromising?
I've destroyed my feet completely but I don't care. What do you really need your feet for anyway.
To be in a couple, do you have to put your single self on a shelf?
Can you make a mistake and miss your fate?
I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way.
I thought if I had straight hair and a perfect nose, my whole career would be different.
You can't live in New York City and be the most important person in town; you just can't. There are too many other important people here.
People go to casinos for the same reason they go on blind dates - hoping to hit the jackpot. But mostly, you just wind up broke or alone in a bar.
It's not that I'm using my life to put on screen or in my acting, it's that, when you're living in the world, you're exposed to stories, to people, to things that feel foreign and unfamiliar. And I'm curious about those things, me personally.
I don't put pictures of my children on, rarely, I think I've done it twice? I'm thoughtful about that, because I don't think you can get it back, and I don't think it's fair to people to try to convey a desire to maintain some privacy and then share pictures and expect that somebody else won't want the same ability.
I'm not on Twitter. In theory, I really like Instagram. I think it's a warmer environment. I think, though conversations can erupt that aren't always friendly, you have an opportunity to jump in and redirect and even caution people against language and behavior that I personally object to.
I feel conflicted about my relationship with social media.
I don't feel that my life, my professional life, is married to a reliance upon Instagram.
I don't look to play people that are familiar. I look to play people that are different, challenge, unknown, foreign, and therefore scary.
I'm a person who's been in a long-term relationship. It's not surprising that a lot of my friends - whether they're in same-sex relationships or not, whether they're married officially or just in a long-term relationship - have really interesting and various stages in their relationship. My life is looking at these friendships and saying, "Wait a minute, isn't this something really interesting? How can I explore this?"
I never was Carrie Bradshaw, but imagine how great it was to be told, "You are obligated to kiss all these men, to dress like that, and to carry on like that!" They were great guys, too.
What you think you know versus what you actually learn.
I find it so ironic that all you do, for the earliest part of your life, is try to be like everybody else. And then you turn 30, and you realize all you want to do is distinguish yourself in some way.
I love the opportunity to wear something really special and go to a wonderful event at some great cultural institution.
It's like the riddle of the Sphinx... why are there so many great unmarried women, and no great unmarried men?
