I’m lucky because I have so many clashing cultural, racial things going on: black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I can float and be part of any community I want.
I am definitively qualitative about work.
Marriage feels like an industry with catering and really expensive bands.
I totally believe in romance and love and all that.
I like to wear what make me feel great, which can mean the color, or that the fit’s right, or that it’s just an interesting piece of clothing. I like to change it up.
I have a lot of girl friends who are very adept at making friends, and guys are just not.
Caring about what people think of me decreases everyday.
As much as my parents are part of Hollywood, I have no recollection of them giving me advice about it.
I do have designers that I love to wear, like Philip Lim and Marc Jacobs whose stuff I know will look good on my body. But still, I always like to express myself by changing things up.
I have six brothers and sisters. We all look totally different: blonde hair, curly hair, green eyes, dark eyes, dark skin, light skin. It’s just how it is.
You can love somebody and it can change your life but it doesn’t mean that you’re necessarily right to be together forever, but that love will change your life forever. And that’s okay.
I’m friends with a lot of my exes, but it took time. We didn’t just get into it. I don’t think you can be friends until you’re cool with them dating someone else. That’s when you know.
There’s a sense of entitlement and isolationism that I think is really dangerous, and the way globalization and technology have been used isn’t really for the best.
In early high school years, I was pretty chubby, and I spent a lot of time on my computer, before it was cool to have a computer – because there was a time that was true. So that’s where I developed my personality.
To me, it’s really easy to feel glamorous and beautiful with red lips. It’s great because you don’t have to do anything else. I don’t have to do anything to my face. I can have cleanly washed hair and if I just put on like a matte red lip, it just makes everything seem special.
I think there is this thing where people are impressed – it gives you a leg up in the sense that people won’t treat you like a run-of-the-mill actress. They’ll assign “smart” to your word bank, your adjective bank.
I think anybody who has had a long relationship and has had a really hard time letting go, wants to feel like it’s not all for naught, and it’s meaningful, because it makes you who you are.
Women can do anything, and I want to see that. I want them to make more movies for girls, and just for girls. I want studios to start doing that.
I have a lot of girlfriends, but there’s something that’s so easy for me about hanging out with guys. It’s fun, because I feel like they accept me right back, which is really nice.
I did a lot of theater in school. I thought maybe I wanted to go to law school or be a judge or a politician. And then I just kind of got smitten by the process of rehearsal and working with other actors and those kinds of challenges. And then comedy.
I probably wouldn’t be acting if I didn’t grow up in Hollywood.
