I choose every role, in association with the other ones. I try not to do one thing, over and over and over again.

I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference.

I was raised to think cursing makes you look unintelligent.

I've played a lot of fathers in my life, and it seems that my kids are getting older and older in films, and I'm always surprised at how good they are.

When you're a pilot, and you know all the ways to survive an airplane crash and how low the chances are, you feel safer.

I've gotten a lot of young gay kids come up to me and talk to me about how the little things I've said in the press has helped them come out to their parents, or just be open with who they are, and feeling invigorated by that. So that honestly means a lot to me to hear that the things that I say in the press, they do hear, and they see, and it helps them at least to start the conversation.

My mom gives me an allowance. She keeps me pretty tight-reined.
