It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy.” [On her approach to Mad About You] "If there's a message, it's that the unlovable and unattractive parts of ourselves should be embraced. The only real currency between people is what happens when they're not cool. And I hope people feel OK about not being cool." [on Pay it Forward] "It was a dream come true. You can't not have that dream if you're an actor. You have five seconds to enjoy it and then you remember who you didn't thank." [on winning an Oscar] |
