I'd love to do a court-room drama. I loved 'Ally McBeal.' That was one of the main reasons I went to law school.

Work hard to achieve integrity in your work and your relationships with the people you work with.

I've got a swimming pool and I pretend to be like a mermaid, like in the middle of the night. It kind of de-stresses me.

There are so many glamorous actresses, but you know what? In the real world, nobody looks like that.

Been sitting at home all weekend writing for MTV Movie Awards - unfortunately MTV won't let me do my strip routine ala Magic Mike.

Even when I'm playing someone named 'Fat Amy.' I'm all about confidence and attitude.

As a kid, I never thought I'd be an actress. Never, ever, ever, no way. I was really shy - bordering on social disorder shy - and I was really academic.

For a comedienne, you have to have a little tragedy or a dark side, just not too much. Otherwise it's too disruptive.

The let-go of the last little bit is the biggest because, in that, there is no return.

When I go the cinema, unfortunately nowadays, especially with the big commercial films, the audience is spoon-fed through the entire experience and they don't have to do any work.

It just kills me to see people lose someone they love, so I want to do as much as I can: give money to doctors and hospitals; get nurses in there that care; put a smile on a little kid's face.

Action films are emotionally and physically draining, and you're dirty and sweaty. In a romantic comedy, you have to have your fingernails perfect, you're in air-conditioned rooms the whole time.

Audiences are harder to please if you're just giving them effects, but they're easy to please if it's a good story.

It doesn't feel good when you're put down, and especially for no uncertain reason.
