In L.A., it's easy to get caught up in what you look like or how much money you have, and those aren't values I want my kids to adopt.

Us gals need to stay in and just change the way it works, so men aren't being workaholics and avoiding life and relationships, and they can make films in a reasonable amount of time, so you can have a family and a life outside of work. And have more balanced, content-driven, enjoyable movies.

Maybe I'm more drawn to those kind of parts because they are meaningful to me. I mean, more parent-y ones, I find them interesting to do.

You know, I loved math. My mom was a math teacher.

I was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick.

A relationship is hard in and of itself. And having kids is really hard work, but I think it's really meaningful, as is a relationship. But they all take work.

I mean that I think I find the psychology of people more interesting than politics. I think the psychology of politics is more interesting than straight politics.
