  • I just like to walk around New York, just put my iPod on and walk around.

  • It sounds so cheesy, but there's something very powerful about looking in the mirror and asking yourself a question. Because I think it's really hard to lie.

  • I love the rain. It's my favorite weather.

  • I don't know about the romantic comedy route, although never say never.

  • Sometimes I need to blow off steam and go dance really hard.

  • I probably lived more of a rock-star life when I was 15. I got in trouble a fair amount. I cared more about hanging out and skipping school than studying. Which I am not recommending teenagers do if they read this.

  • I like to write and draw and paint, and my mom's an artist, so I think I get caught up in thinking, 'I'm afraid it's gonna be bad,' and it's hard for me to start sometimes.

  • I would rather have a small part in a really great movie than a big one in one that I'm not too psyched about.

  • People sometimes get a little extra criticism when they try something that they don't normally do, but I think that's just a natural thing for artists. It's like, 'Okay, I did that, and now I want to try this.'

  • I never think if I do an impression of someone, I'm never making fun of them.

  • I don't know if I even consider myself a comedian really - I do comedic acting in some films and dramatic in others.

  • I feel there's so much pressure, especially for women, to declare what their life's going to be and what their career is, and are you married yet? Are you single? But you're 30.

  • When you're on your deathbed, you probably aren't counting the movies you've made.

  • A big part of being in a wedding is the financial obligation, and that's something that people don't really talk about, but if you're asked to be in a wedding, you're gonna have to fork over some cash.

  • Mean comedy is not really something that I personally gravitate towards or something that I do.

  • I am shyer than most people think.

  • At parties, I'll start talking and notice everyone is looking at me and feel dumb and say, 'Forget it,' and then start eating things.

  • I would put Flintstones vitamins in it in case I got tired, so I could pop some and keep walking.

  • When you're a woman in your thirties, and maybe you don't really know what you want to do with your life, but it seems like everyone else does, and your best friend gets married, and it forces you to look at yourself. I don't know if I described that in a very funny way.
