When you're a kid, you don't want to be teased.

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.

No if's, but's or maybe's. It's all or nothing. You're either going to soar to new heights or crash and burn. Why live by any other philosophy.

I miss you a lot. But what I miss even more is the person I become when I am with you. She is beautiful.

The repentance we are called to is about choosing one audience over another.

Never grow a wishbone daughter where your backbone ought to be.

He who represents himself has a fool for a client

We grow gray in our spirit long before we grow gray in our hair.

I'm Godless. I've had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking

He preacheth patience that never knew pain

Gentlemen do so appreciate a nicely trimmed décolletage.

All that could run or leap or swim Whether in wood, water or cloud, Acclaiming, proclaiming, declaiming Him.
