I think most people have that out-of-body experience when they win the Oscar.

It's the rare happening when actors get together and you have chemistry, connection, just something that works, that's bigger than what's on the page.

To me, the good thing about living in L.A. is diversity in lifestyle choices, color, and religion.

Human beings exist that have integrity, that know how to keep their mouth shut, that know the bigger picture, that don't sell out their friends.

I was a brownie for a day. My mom made me stop. She didn't want me to conform.

I didn't watch any films. This film, The Proposal, had it all in the script. Once all the pieces, once I met Anne Fletcher and I knew what she wanted and that we wanted the same things, and once they said Ryan Reynolds was on board and once the casting came together, you saw what it wanted to be.

I'm always in this shape, that shape, whatever shape you like the most. I am always in various stages of shapes. If the woman needs to be more soft I'll gain weight and then I'll lose weight for another film that I did where I wanted her to be more wiry. I enjoy using my body as something that helps me get to a character.
