One thing I've learned is be comfortable in your skin, and more importantly, be comfortable in your shoes.

I hate to tell people what they should think 'cause I really have an aversion when people tell me what to think.

I'm glad that I get to take my final walk as the princess of 2012. ...there's nothing wrong with winning an Oscar!

Every character I get to play has some element of who I am, but there's no fun in playing yourself. At least, for me, there isn't.

I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.

I think that young women and little girls need to see that they don't have to be the damsel in distress. They don't have to not show their strength. They don't have to be whatever the stereotype is or the tropes that we go to in our minds.

Everything happens when it's supposed to.
