I spent so many summers and New Years and fun times in New Orleans. It was always a place where I felt I could go and actually let go and enjoy the spirit of something.
I've lived next door to people all my life. I don't know how cute they think I am.
I have no desire to maintain a lifestyle. I am a horrible celebrity. If I am out in public I dress like a pig.
There is a difference between executive producing and producing. Producing, you have no life for two years. You take everything personally, you want to kill everyone, you're depressed and angry, and then in the end you feel excited when it actually works. But executive producing, you can go home at the end of the day.
I think most people have that out of body experience when they win the Oscar.
I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.
I didn't have a teenage or early-20s experience that was free and without worry. I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase.
I have these big piano-playing hands. I feel like I should be picking potatoes.
I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make.
If you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't be putting it in your body or in your environment.
I always had boyfriends, but I never imagined a proposal or a wedding. To me, that was like having a ball and chain round your neck.
I don't want to be seen as the kind of person who does things and then expects publicity in return.
I'm not a fan of reality shows, but I am a fan of people who use their brains and skills and hard work to outsmart people, not to steal someone's man or get drunk on TV.
I used to get out of bed sometimes and feel depressed and watched a lot of reruns on TV to get over it. I should have allowed myself to be a little more human and not worry about trying to be a superwoman.
The only man who has stolen my heart is my son.
I think Benjamin Bratt is the most dreamy... he's dreamy! And I love the fact that he's got this Peruvian heritage; he's absolutely striking.
Poop humor is fun. If you do the toilet scenes well and commit to them, they can be really, really powerful.
Uniqueness was something my mother pounded into me.
Once a waitress, always a waitress.
Competing with other women wastes a lot of time, and I'm just not very good at it.
