My family responsibilities don't conflict with my career. Not at all.

I don't feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they're seen or not is another issue.

Motherhood changed me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do even though it takes a lot.

What brings people down is the same thing over and over.

What I think is sad about the rom-com genre is that it has adopted this pejorative title. I think the reason why there haven't been as many great ones is because we are fighting against the genre itself. If it is a romantic comedy then snuggle up to the fact that it can be a really earnest, refreshing feeling to feel good after a movie.

Romance is important, but to have a friend you can use as a mirror, who can give you an objective response, that's what's really important.

I'm never going to say, 'Well, I'm never going to do comedy again.' I love comedies, and it's what people know me for, so I love doing it... I don't really think about it in terms of 'Well, I should do this because it's comedy or drama.'

I really do believe that no one is too pious to fall or too far gone to be redeemed in some way. Jaime Lannister on 'Game of Thrones' did terrible things, and now I feel so bad for him because his sister won't kiss him. Isn't that weird? Does she not love him? He lost a hand! It kills me that I care.
