I have always been drawn to child-related causes. I find that people listen to me more when I advocate for children now that I have my own.

I know I live a charmed, beautiful life and nobody wants to hear a celebrity whine. The last thing I want to do is complain; I love what I do and I know every job comes with a downside.

I rebelled by not getting straight A's and not following the path that my elder sister did. She was valedictorian and is very exemplary in her way. I look a lot like her, so I just had to do the opposite. Not that I got bad grades, but I was all about performance and just finding any way that I could to be involved in any kind of production.

In my teens, I was never part of the cool crowd.

I think that baseball games are like soap operas. If you watch five in a row, you know enough to get hooked.

I really choose by what I like, i thought 'Alexander' was a super smart script. Just [costar] Steve [Carell] alone would have been enough. Gosh, I love working with that guy. He's just the best.

Your happiness is your own responsibility.
