The great challenge for me is to be all things to all people; I want to be a great mother, and I want to feel good when I'm at work.

Men who are too good looking are never good in bed because they never had to be.

So we strive for perfection in the areas in which we can control, and that isn't necessarily what provides contentment and joy for ourselves and, more importantly, for our children.

My job requires me to put on a little dress and run around the streets of New York in heels. But I also had the financial means to hire a yoga teacher to come to my house while my sitter watched the newborn. For 95 percent of the world, that's not realistic.

I tell my friends married life is boring, but that's just a fun thing to say to make single people feel better.

I don't look to play people that are familiar. I look to play people that are different, challenge, unknown, foreign, and therefore scary.

I expect I should be more calloused by now, but I am so sensitive about not ever living up to anybody's worst idea about an actor who is well-known.
