I was actually looking at comedies and wondered, 'Why is every comedy for a women a romantic one? I was so done! Then I said, 'Could I look at every script Jim Carrey rejected?' It didn't center around me getting a man.

I realize that once I stopped fighting the technical process of how to move my body, I made it choreography.

My mother always told me, 'Don't get married. Make your own life. You don't need a man.'

I've been in enough films where the studio wanted that extra little cuteness to make it sellable.

To me, the producing falls into the same as acting. It requires so much time out of your life, and I take it very personally, I realize. So if I do something, it just has to be something I love and I don't want anyone else to do. When I open projects, maybe something will appeal to me. I think I'm not opening them because I don't want anything to appeal to me right now.

To sit with George [Clooney] and argue about what we're passionate about was amazing. We're good at arguing our points of view and are all about doing what was best for the movie [ "Gravity"].

If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what life is about.
