Motherhood changed me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do even though it takes a lot.

I don’t feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they’re seen or not is another issue.

And who cares, five years down the road, what most movies made or didn’t make? If it’s good, it stands up.

Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don’t mind saying that, it’s true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them.

And the insidious thing is that people will either see a movie because it did well last weekend or won’t see it because it didn’t do well.

Acting is what I do. It’s not what I solely define myself as.

It’s triumphant for someone to wake up to life. I feel a tremendous sense of liberation. You want to be able to use both your intuitive side and your go-get-’em side with no blame.

I don’t think I’ll ever be a producer who’s into taking the meetings and fighting the big fights with studios. I really don’t like that part. I’m much more interested in the material.

I wouldn’t have thought of myself as a person who could guide anybody and then it turned out that I can.

There are assumptions made about the way you look. I’m always surprised when people don’t think I’m smart.
