My whole life, I’ve wanted to feel comfortable in my skin. It’s the most liberating thing in the world.
My twenties were about exploring love and being a wildflower and trying to figure everything out. Now I’m not comfortable being that happy wildflower anymore, but I still don’t feel like a woman. I wonder when that moment’s going to hit.
Life is not about focusing on the obstacles. It’s about how you handle them, and whether you get enlightenment or levity from the way you do it.
Being a Barrymore didn’t help me, other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.
When things are perfect, that’s when you need to worry most.
I always leave a relationship with a sense of hope.
The best kind of parent you can be is to lead by example.
My own mum cared about Hollywood, and I didn’t. I wanted to act, and I loved the creativity of it, but I didn’t care for the lifestyle.
I’ve approached so many things in my life with such intensity that I want to approach motherhood with dedication and focus.
I love writing, directing and photography; if I could figure out a way to put the three things together, that’s what I would love to do.
I feel like some of my baby fat is going away, and that’s not just physically, it’s psychologically. I think that your body is in tune with your mind and your spirituality and your heart. If things are going better, I just think you look better.
I looooove cookbooks. I cook a lot when I’m pregnant.
I have certainly had my share of long-distance love affairs.
I’m okay with the idea that slow and steady wins the race.
I can tell when an actor’s forcing tears, and it’s tricky because you then have to film it and edit in a certain way to skirt around the issue.
I don’t really get into architecture in the hotel room. But maybe a little Feng Shui here and there.
Celebrity! It’s become the most disgusting word on the planet. It makes me sick to my stomach.
I learned early on that family, as far as my mother and father, were not an option.
I think that we all have to have that rite of passage of dating the tortured artist who seems cooler than we think we are; we aspire to be like them, and we’re excited that somebody is turning us on to new music or a new lifestyle.
It’s my crusade to help women feel good about themselves.
