I don't like slugs and tentacles and calamari or anything. Actually, tentacles made me turn into a vegetarian in high school. I'm not anymore, but in high school, we were dissecting squid.

What would seem like an innocuous meat tenderizer turned out to be the biggest fear of every PA and producer - everyone on set. You know, it's dangerous, because you're running around and you're taking close swings at people with something that really could kill them. It's not like you have a gun with no bullets that you're doing cinematically. You actually have a weapon that you're swinging at people.

I can't afford security. I can't afford a gated house. So, I feel a little vulnerable. I wish some laws would come into play.

I will do almost anything for the sake of a joke or for the sake of someone's real belief in something to help tell a story.

Legally Blonde was something that I just knew was going to make Reese Witherspoon the biggest star in the world. I knew - seeing Reese handle that with such intelligent ditziness - and she'd just had her baby and she looked fabulous and she's such a hard worker. I just knew. I remember doing press for that movie and Reese was already exhausted, but someone that would never say they were exhausted because she's that much of a professional.

My mother dressed me always very conservatively.

I'm older and have a kid, I like success on my own, but I always enjoyed all my parts playing the fifth wheel. I mean, just loved it. There was such freedom in it and I still got to enjoy watching everyone work.
