When it's going well, stand-up is the best thing in the world, but when it's not, it feels like all your toes are being pulled off one by one.

Sometimes, you have no idea why something works and other times, you put so much work and effort into something and it just falls flat.

I feel that when you want to seduce a man, you really need your legs. Since all my outfits were long dresses, I have to say that I really didn't feel sexy at all.

I always date younger men. For some reason that's just the way it's gone, because younger guys have always asked me out and I accept.

There's definitely a psychology to making you feel important and like you're part of the game. It's a very special quality, especially with a first-time director.

I'm kind of harsher than most people.

The great thing about Jane Austen - the reason we're all still obsessed with her - is that she gets inside a woman's mind and she taps into our fantasies of wanting to be accepted and loved for who we are.
