I got into this business to be an actress, to scare myself and force,myself into a place outside of my comfort zone. I have nothing against,The Princess Diaries (2001) - but it has been a brick wall at,times for my career.

Films are letting me get older, which is really nice, because there was,always this fear of what happens when I stop being a teenager. But for,everyone else, it was kind of a sharp left.

Obsessing about weight is a big old waste of time.

[on Love & Other Drugs (2010) ] On the day I shot the scene where,I have to remove my trench coat and be nude underneath, I thought we,were filming, but it turned out we were just rehearsing and I got,unnecessarily naked in front of a lot of people. But hey, I just did my,job.

[on Love & Other Drugs (2010) ] It was definitely out of my,comfort zone and it required an extra little dose of courage every day.

And that should be to our collective, mutual outrage and shame.

My favorite fashion is daring. I love it as an art form. I love it when,people are able to interpret thoughts and feelings on fabric.

[after being told she looked armed and dangerous on an episode of,"Lip Sync Battle" (2015) ] I do. Good, then you believe me.

[on accepting the real-life role of a goodwill ambassador] The United,Nations reached out to me and and I was very interested. But it took us,quite a while to figure out what my issue would be. Then life provided,the answer: I got pregnant.

I grew up in a pretty large family. We were really close-knit, so I definitely want to have lots and lots of children.

I was on a starvation diet to look like I was near death in a film. . . but I went at it with a plan, and I had a guide; a nutritionist kind of helped me with it.

Weddings are important because they celebrate life and possibility.
