It was not a healthy marriage for long time. It was never about another man, it was about what my and Dennis’s relationship could not sustain.

I have a very good life, so I have nothing to complain about. Sometimes, I just have existential angst.

It would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols.

I wouldn’t have thought of myself as a person who could guide anybody and then it turned out that I can.

Acting is what I do. It’s not what I solely define myself as.

I don’t think I’ll ever be a producer who’s into taking the meetings and fighting the big fights with studios. I really don’t like that part. I’m much more interested in the material.

I heard that chivalry was dead, but I think it’s just got a bad flue.

And who cares, five years down the road, what most movies made or didn’t make? If it’s good, it stands up.

Neither of us, me nor Dennis, is cavalier about a breakup. We both behaved very honorably.

Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don’t mind saying that, it’s true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them.

And the insidious thing is that people will either see a movie because it did well last weekend or won’t see it because it didn’t do well.

I don’t think we realise just how fast we go until you stop for a minute and realise just how loud and how hectic your life is, and how easily distracted you can get.

I think there’s an ongoing effort involved in trying to get a bigger perspective, trying to let go of things that limit your capacity to love and be loved or your capacity to hear and to really speak.

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.

People are always telling me that change is good. But all that means is that something you didn’t want to happen has happened.

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

When I wear high heels I have a great vocabulary and I speak in paragraphs. I’m more eloquent. I plan to wear them more often.

A l lot of films I’ve done are essentially about women who are finding their voice, women who don’t know themselves well.

I’ve been in this business for years and I’m still befuddled by the ways of this town.

I’m a sucker for a funny script. And then, as soon as I don’t wanna be, one comes along and grabs me.

The best thing about modern living is anaesthesia.

It was not a healthy marriage for long time. It was never about another man, it was about what my and Dennis’s relationship could not sustain.
