I have very smart parents. I feel I learned a lot from both of my parents and life experience.
Show me a mall, and I'm happy.
Let's get a couple of things straight. It hasn't been years and years since I made a movie. I'm not coming back from the dead - I've just had two kids! I have no intention of retiring, but I do think it's impossible to do movie after movie, because there aren't that many good films made.
I like a good old-fashioned fistfight if people are pissed off at each other. I just feel like if you're really mad and want to have a fight, then put your dukes up.
I think that I am a deeply optimistic person.
I'm just an ordinary person who has an extraordinary job.
Every actor wants to win an Oscar, full stop. It doesn't mean you try to design things around how to accomplish that because that's impossible.
My boyfriend keeps telling me I've got to own things. So, first I bought this car. And then he told me I oughta get a house. 'Why a house?' 'Well, you gotta have a place to park the car.'
What changes with fame is the perceptions of the individual rather than the individual.
I never really did years of movie-after-movie-after-movie but when you've got three toddlers in the house you're performing all day long, anyway, with puppet shows and stories - I act around the clock.
I choose totally by instinct. And the only time I've ever gone against my instincts, I've regretted it.
I'm a regular person with an extraordinary job.
It's my privilege and honor to cook three meals a day for my family, and it's a luxury on a level that I didn't even realize, because it can be relentless for me on some days. You have pride in how you take care of your family.
Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.
My life at home gives me absolute joy. Having so much time there with the family has just been incredible. My life has changed and I work less, but I was never really one to work too much.
Seeing Shakespeare in the Park, for me, it's just this side of feeling like you've witnessed some kind of magic. It's this spell that you're under, to be part of that!
Show me a person who doesn't like to laugh and I'll show you a person with a toe tag.
True love doesn't come to you it has to be inside you.
I think enough cannot be said for what you can discover through literature. So I think that was probably my most valued characteristic as a teenager.
