I really like where Tony Robbins says that we're all hypnotized to see beauty this one specific way, and it's true.

I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda, it's still a fantastic, amazing place.

I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married.

I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.

I put on the fat suit and went outside and walked around. I was really nervous about being found out, but nobody would even make eye contact with me. It really upset me.

I was having such a hard time when I made Sylvia. I gave everything I had for that role. It's one or two or three things I'm most proud of in terms of my work. But it was very dark.

I wasn't the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let not me act until I graduated from college.

I understand what it feels like not to like aspects of yourself. There have been times that I have felt really terrible about the way I look. I have the seed of that feeling.

I moved to New York from California when I was 11, so initially I was seen as the California person for a while. I didn't feel like I was popular, but I did feel confident.

I just had a baby. I'm not going to work unless it's something really special and meaningful, because I can't imagine missing all that time with my daughter.

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.

Beauty fades! I just turned 29, so I probably don't have that many good years left in me.

As I absorbed life here and understood it better, I just completely fell in love with England.

I have a very highly developed sense of denial.
