I can only be in the sun for 15 minutes before burning. I have sunscreen on my face every day. If I'm walking on the sunny side of the street, I'll walk to the shady side. I'm too uncomfortable in the sun.

I went with Tom Ford to a bunch of events one year, and he's so wonderful and handsome and so much fun to be with; he made me look, like, 100 percent better in every single picture.

I do love my work. As an actor, you live from job to job, though, and you have to be prepared for that.

I'm a very basic dresser. I'm not interested in calling too much attention to myself. I like to look cool without being too noticeable.

When I was growing up, the place I felt least alone was when I was reading.

I think every part's a challenge, and you also never know if you're going to pull it off.

I love my kids with all my heart and the last thing I want to worry about is the air they breathe.

Frankly, acting doesn't scare me because I really enjoy it.

With actors, all our ages are out there for all to see - you can't hide anything, really. And it's kind of a relief. This is my age, this is what I look like without makeup on - who cares? That youth culture - that lying about your age - it's all denial of death anyway.

Parenthood is a very, very intense experience.

In grade school, I was a complete geek. You know, there's always the kid who's too short, the one who wears glasses, the kid who's not athletic. Well, I was all three.

I've got more freckles than just about anybody. My children didn't get them, thankfully. They have tiny little freckles.

When I go to a movie and can't figure it out, I'm just thrilled.

The thing about having a very young mother who had you at 20 is that you expect that you're going to be old ladies together.

If you're reading IMDB, half of it's made up. You can't trust it or Wikipedia, which is just lies, lies!

I love clothes - I love shopping for clothes, I love wearing clothes, I love talking about clothes - but oddly, putting on the dress and walking around in front of people, that's the place where I'm most uncomfortable.

It's very important for me to be absolutely present in order to be emotional.

Really, you want to have variety as an actor. If you spend your career doing one thing solidly, people get burned out.

I think everybody has had emotional distress, but yes, I think I'm pretty stable.

You know, comedy's hard. With drama, you have a responsibility to the emotional truth, but with comedy, you have emotional truth and you have technique on top of it.

Jennifer Lawrence is so talented and so lovely. She has a real ability to connect with people.

When someone says, 'I'm not political,' I feel like what they're saying is, 'I only care about myself. In my bathtub. Me and my bathtub is what I care about.'

I'm not someone who is driven by big external stories. I like big emotional stories.

I don't know why women do Botox. It doesn't make them look younger, it just makes them look like they had work done. You are not going to look the same as you did at 25.
