Falling in love-you should go with it, regardless of whether or not your heart gets smashed. You'll be a better person.

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 realised that conforming didn't accomplish anything. Do your own thing. As long as you learn that, you're cool.

Crushes are wonderful-they make you feel like you're two years old, and you say the stupidest things.

I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make. We waste so much time making decisions based on someone else's idea of our happiness - what will make you a good citizen or a good wife or daughter or actress. Nobody says, 'Just be happy - go be a cobbler or go live with goats.'

I have no desire to maintain a lifestyle. I am a horrible celebrity. If I am out in public I dress like a pig.

I mean, yeah, Anne Fletcher was a choreographer, but she was born to be a director. You need to have the ability to figure out people's rhythms. It all starts from the script.
