Being an actor/ writer is a responsibility and a burden and a gift. The responsibility to me is that you can't just wait to be cast into something and then you create the role. You almost have a voice inside of you telling you what you might want to play and be able to play. It's hard, but once that thing comes out of the printer and you hold those warm pages to your cheek it's great. It's a huge sense of accomplishment.

Socially, the issue of men's weight is simply not a big deal.

You're never too fat for a new purse.

I am not anti-man. I am married to a man... I have a father and a brother... I love men. But there is something really lacking when Cake is nominated. How does Julianne Moore win for Best Actress but her film isn't nominated for Best Screenplay? How does Gone Girl become such a critically-acclaimed and box-office hit but its scriptwriter, Gillian Flynn, isn't nominated for Best screenplay. It's disgusting!

Sometimes if something scares me, I lean right into it . I’m not a brave person— I’m more of a fearless idiot.

I love romance. I think our skin clears up and we're nicer when you are in love.

My daughter is a preschooler but I have only known her for a while. She is adopted.
