There are some things that, if you say them out loud, will hurt the other person's feelings. I tend to say them anyway. It's better to be honest.

A girl told me my lips looked like somebody had pressed strawberry yogurt against my face.

Isn't it so weird the day you wake up and you're just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

I was putting so much time and energy into just my work, but I was raised [to believe] that family comes first.

Guys are kind of retarded until they're about 30.

I was the youngest child and really spoiled. I loved to play make-believe. I loved pretending to be all kinds of different people and it just seemed natural that I would go into acting.

I haven't been to rehab, I don't do anything eccentric - I'm really boring.

My favorite movie is Closer and Love Story.

America has its roots in a tradition of risk-taking pioneers. In more conservative Europe, if you fail in business or actually end up going to jail for it, you're finished as a businessman for good.

I'm not an ensemble actor, because it's always a lot of ego when you're all together in the scene. It's kind of intellectual fighting for something.

That is the way with people ... If they do you wrong, they invent a bad name for you, a good name for their acts and then destroy you in the name of virtue.
