I think that actresses can be in all different shapes and sizes, but it is a profession, and as an actor, your body is one of your big tools. So you've got to be fit in a sense.

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.

I stay fat because it just wouldn't be fair to all the thin people if I were this good-looking, intelligent, funny, and thin. It's a public service really.

I never thought I would end up being an actress. I thought I really was going to do serious stuff like law or politics.

At school, nobody thought I was smart and I became smart. Nobody wanted to be my friend and then I had lots of friends.

I wanted to be a politician and a movie star. But I was born a writer. If you're born that, you can't change it. You're going to do it whether you want to or not.

This was never what I wanted for us, but things change. Plans change. People change. I've faced the reality of my destiny and now I need to embrace that.

Nobody touches my ding dongs!

I'm trying to be careful as much as I can eating this American food. Burgers are heavy. So, I'm trying to minimize that as much as I can.

Spontaneity comes after skill, not before.

If I can go through what I've been through and do a television show with my son and then be a boy from the hood making records for the people I make records for, that's reality.

The peace sign is with two fingers not one.

To design a home is to design happiness, to create for ourselves a little piece of joy.

We would have to give out something for the poor in India. It is my responsibility to give the people an account of every rupee. I will use it at right places. I won't let it get stolen.

Instead of looking for the success in your life, look for the thing that is going to bring you the greatest joy.
