I think there are certain actors that have that kind of energy about them, that taking over a room energy.

What's so fascinating about people is what they don't show. People are masters at it; usually actors show too much.

I love Ron Howard, he's a wonderful director, incredibly prepared. But I have to criticize my performance in that movie. It all took place in one day. My character was having a bad day, so she's having a bad day throughout the whole movie. But this was a comedy, and I think I was too serious, too dense. Yes, I think that describes my failure there.

I think having pets helps sensitize people to the natural world.

It is an odd paradox that a society, which can now speak openly and unabashedly about topics that were once unspeakable, still remains largely silent when it comes to mental illness.
