It's sad when you say a $30 million film is an inexpensive film, but it is.

Free is the best. Anything free is good.

Everyone told me to pass on 'Speed' because it was a 'bus movie.'

You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family.

I was a brownie for a day. My mom made me stop. She didn't want me to conform.

I always said if it gets to a point where I really want a child, I would adopt; kids are amazing, so I'm getting the selfish stuff out of my system so when I have them I can say, 'Go, run. I have plenty of money, go play.'

Does age matter? Time doesn't matter.

Every single second of every single day... I don't know if I feel like a bad mom, but at the end of the day I'm always plagued with, 'Did I do enough? Should I go in a different direction?'

I've never been a blind romantic.

I'm a true believer in karma. You get what you give, whether it's bad or good.

I think in general, romantic comedies tend to take one person's point of view, but every once in a while you get something that is balanced for two people.

No one has proof that I know of, that a higher power exists, yet a major portion of the world believes in it and relies on it in faith in trust, in what that is. Where is the science in that? And yet you have incredible belief in that.

I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.

I think everything is going to be devastatingly sad - when the phone rings, I know somebody in my family's been hurt, somebody's going to die. I'm sure a therapist would go, 'That's not a good way to live,' but every time it's not that bad thing, I'm so thankful and appreciative.

Why is it that when we get older, we get more fearful?

Poop humor is fun. If you do the toilet scenes well and commit to them, they can be really, really powerful.

I would love to be on 'Top Gear' as a star in a reasonably priced car.

I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.

Half of my family has a deep-rooted connection to the South and Louisiana, and for me, New Orleans is one of our most precious, historic communities: visually, emotionally, artistically.
