I decided to do a comedy. It's a good mind-set to go into work and be happy every day instead of being in a dark place.

It's been the greatest gift that I've been given. Because no matter how much my parents have asked me to be more patient, no matter much my husband has asked me to be more patient, none of it mattered until I had a kid. And then all of sudden I was like, "Oh. I have to be more patient." They were all like, "Yeah! We've been telling you that for twenty years!" And I find it to be a gift. Every day I'm more patient.

I went to college because I felt like I was supposed to. I graduated from public high school and I did all the things that I was supposed to do.

If you do put yourself out there and do things that are not safe, then you run the risk of being criticized for it.

When it's a comedy or drama or horror or romance, it's all the same. You want to be honest with the character. You want to play truthfully and you want to be genuine with your character.

I think that an actor is more likely to be forgiven in the public's eye than an actress.

I'm not out there screaming that women are drinking bourbon, but I think it's a great beverage as an option. I've got nothing against drinking a Cosmo or Martini. It's not like one is judging the other. It's just delicious and slow and steady, and there's something about sipping a bourbon that to me is very relaxing.
