I like to be in a European city where I can speak my language.

With acting, the stark reality for women is that it's nearly impossible to get older in an elegant fashion as an actress. Either you're fighting your age, or you're having to own it in a way that feels inelegant, or you're Meryl Streep and you're an angel from God.

Timing is everything with relationships.

I don't like expectations.

I love romantic comedies. I have a deep respect for them. I think they're really difficult to write and write well.

With any television series - and it's something that is taken for granted with movies because you have the whole arc within two hours - you establish who the character is and it's a two-dimensional version, or if you're lucky, a two and a half-dimensional character. Once you establish that, you can move forward and break all the rules. Once the audience has accepted who the person is, then you can do the exact opposite. What makes it funny and interesting is doing the opposite.

Invest in your brain, invest in your talents. Those things can appreciate and they get better as you get older.
