I'm a good actress. That's why you know me as likable.

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

I love New Orleans I love the way it looks. I love the way it feels.

I think people who do comedy tend to do it well, and to do it painfully and truthfully. So making the leap to drama is easier for them because everything they've done is from pain anyway.

It's nice we work in a place where you're allowed to keep coming back to have new experiences together.

You hear sounds and orchestration, it's ... the fastest way, I think, to your emotions, even if you don't understand the language of the song.

I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.
