I’m not a role model or the poster child for how to do anything.
I’m a bit of a clothes hoarder, admittedly. I try to weed out stuff. My girlfriends come over for cheese and wine and go shopping in my wardrobe. They especially love it when they get stuff with a tag still on.
It’s all about being comfortable, being easy and having you be able to wear something and not having it wear you. It’s classic. Every time I’ve tried to be bold and crazy, I feel like a Japanese animated cartoon character.
I’m lucky if I write a letter.
I think you miss out on a lot of stuff when you’re so protected and isolated.
I support women, men, anybody who is in a place that’s not their strongest and who is ready to push forward.
I enjoy it once in a while. There is nothing wrong with that. Everything in moderation. I wouldn’t call myself a pot-head.
There is nothing you can control about love.
I’ve been lucky to have things come to me that creatively fulfill me, and those are usually the independent films just because you have a little bit more freedom.
There was the period where I wanted to be a therapist, if the acting thing didn’t work. That was pretty much it. I don’t know why. I was just always the girl that people would come and talk to about their problems.
I think it’s always important to reflect anyway, no matter what age you’re approaching or what milestone is in front of you. Reflection should be almost a daily thing if possible.
I think there’s something so wonderful about being part of the process from the seed of the idea to seeing it come to life on a screen. And to have a hand in that creatively, not just showing up as an actor for hire.
I can’t write. I would love to. I don’t really have an interest in it, to be honest. I’ll leave that to my fiance.
I think that’s the great thing about being with, having a dog, is it kind of forces you to be in the present because that’s definitely where they’re spending their time.
When you think of dog movies, that genre, Old Yeller is sort of the benchmark and you hope that you can raise your game up to that.
There’s times when you see people climbing and getting success and you start to see, oh, they’re starting to really change. So I always just make the effort to be as humble and grateful as possible.
Being “America’s Sweetheart”, that label gets put on a lot of people. I don’t pay that much attention. And I’m not trying to shake anything. I’m just following my instincts and doing work that is coming to me and I’m just grateful for it.
I really love comedy. I love making people laugh. But other things also appeal to me.
My dog didn’t like me very much. My first dog, Dmitri, was a poodle. I used to think Dmitri was something I could play with and ride. I tried to ride a poodle. And then he bit me.
Are men intimated by sexually confident women, you ask? I think men are intimated by any woman who says they are sexually confident, at no matter what age.
