You don't have to be in our industry to have a panic attack about your career when you're pregnant. Even if you're a lawyer, you can think, 'I'm scared to take time off because I don't want to get passed by.'

I've worn my share of dresses and heels in my career. It's easy. It's not very challenging. It's not fulfilling.

Trying to show people something they haven't really seen before can get a lot of push-back.

The danger with genre is playing genre instead of playing the honesty of what's going on.

I remember being in high school and this guy saying to me, 'You'd actually be good-looking if you didn't joke around so much.' That affected me, and so I stopped joking around, and I stopped being a goof because I thought people would like me better.

I'm never funnier than when I'm heartbroken or terrified.

As an actor, there's nothing worse than having to hide anything, because you're just so aware of it.

I knew from being pregnant that you can be very strong. You're still very capable. Especially if it was stuff you were able to do before.

Once you become a mother, your relationships in your own life change. Perhaps with your own mother, and perhaps with your sister. Perhaps with your baby-daddy.

Twitter is important, but it's not more important than protecting your soul.

I love doing stuff in a harness. It's surprising what you can actually do. I'm reasonably coordinated, so I can do flips and the flipping kicks.

I think any story line that involves a relationship is going to be interesting.
