I crashed my boyfriend's birthday when I was 12 years old. He didn't invite me and so I showed up.

All I know is that I've ruled out wearing fairy wings. When I was nine I wanted to get married in fairy wings, and now I realize that's not cool anymore.

I crashed my boyfriend's birthday when I was 12 years old. He didn't invite me and so I showed up.

After 'Wedding Crashers' I was just surprised as to the lack of comedic female material there is. So I had to start working and getting stuff out there for myself.

Am I disappointed occasionally by the lack of irony in some movies? Yes.

An easy way to get people to like you is to make them laugh.

Anytime anyone compliments me on my figure, I'm wearing my Spanx undies.

Being a mother is by far my greatest accomplishment.

Being proud of who we are as people is more important than cutting into ourselves to create this false idea of beauty.

Comedy has always been important in my family. If you got in a good joke at the dinner table, it meant more than almost anything else.

Family is 100 per cent my top priority.

Growing up, there wasn't much emphasis on being nice or naughty. As a family, there wasn't much discipline. It was more relaxed at home, which I'm grateful for.

I auditioned for a movie recently, and when I went in, the producer said he'd told one of its stars, Naomi Watts, that he was auditioning me, and she'd said, 'She's so funny; she's a great actress - you should hire her.' What a lovely, kind, and supportive thing to do for another woman.

I breastfed both my kids for two years so, you know it was very tiring emotionally and physically.

I do consider myself to be a feminist.

I don't like junk food, just because I don't like the taste of it, but I don't go to the gym - ever.

I don't really watch many heist movies. Actually, I have quite eclectic tastes, but I tend to watch just foreign films. I don't know why that is. I'm not particularly deep or anything, I just like foreign movies.

I find weddings really boring. They give speeches, your aunt kisses you on the cheek, and you're at a boring table. But it's different when it's your own.

I gained 65 pounds with my first baby and 70 with my second. I had severe morning sickness both times, so I mostly ate supersize bowls of white pasta with loads of butter and cheese because that was the only thing that took away the nausea.

I love 'Monty Python,' 'Black Adder,' 'Fawlty Towers.' I'm a huge fan of British comedy.

I love Monty Python, Black Adder, Fawlty Towers. I'm a huge fan of British comedy.

I love acting, love it. It's the greatest fun in the world. I've never had trouble feeling extremely grateful.

I love good food and I love to eat in nice restaurants. I love Japanese food. I love Gordon Ramsay in London; he is pretty amazing.

I love marriage. I think it's a wonderful institution and it's the most important decision you make.

I love religions and find them fascinating, and I find Judaism very beautiful. It's enriched my life enormously.

I love to cook. But I'm a bit rubbish. I tend to start something and then dip into a book or have a conversation and come back and everything's burnt.

I never had the chutzpah to just come to L.A. and make it. I didn't have that confidence. I'm always surprised when I get a job.

I tell my girlfriends - 'Imagine if all the time you put into waxing and primping, you took all of that energy and put it into something useful.'

I think all married couples tend to run things by each other in every capacity and we're not different to them.

I think audiences have always wanted to see women in the movies, but every time a movie like 'Bridesmaids' comes out, everyone says, 'Oh how funny, people do want to see women in the movies.'

I think there is nothing sexier than a handlebar moustache.

I think there is nothing sexier than laughter lines.

I was raised as a tomboy with boys, and I never really feel like myself when I am really dolled up at premieres and showbiz events.

I went to something like six different schools before the age of 12, so I was always the new girl and had to make friends quickly. It was difficult at the start because I was very bookish - I was literally sat in the corner reading books, with no friends.

I'm definitely attracted to other Australians; I have a laid-back attitude to life that I feel is very Australian; I love a good barbie.

I'm happy with the idea of being a mum first and an actress second - I'm perfectly content for people to think of me as a stay-at-home mum, rather than an actress, if that is their perception.

I'm not actually very good at the maintenance thing. I don't buff, exfoliate, pluck, rinse, moisturise, suck, bleach... whatever all those women do.

I've auditioned so many times and been told I'm 'not sporty enough' or I'm 'not sexy.'

I've had no helping hand in Hollywood. But in general, I've found that when it comes to getting jobs, what's meant for you can't pass you by.

I've never been a method actress; I've never been that person that wants to imagine horrible things happening in your own life in order to exploit them for your emotional being in the movie. I'm just not good at doing that.

In Hollywood, you feel a responsibility to look less disheveled than you are. But I'm a mom, and I'm not good at putting time into prepping.

It's a myth that you can have it all. You can't, but more importantly, I don't think you should want to. It sounds exhausting!

The most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me is starting a family. That's as romantic as it gets.

What I loved about breast-feeding was that bond of one-on-one time. The serotonin that's released calms you down and connects you to the baby.

When you shoot an independent movie you have a very limited amount of time, and you don't want to be that actor, when a poor director is trying to get through a movie, that you're asking at every second to discuss performance.

When you're younger, being a redhead is... Well, my two brothers teased me no end.

When your parents divorce, it makes you grow up fast. I'd urge parents to strongly consider working things out. I'd work things out and I'd definitely stay put.

Women one hundred percent support each other in the movie industry.

Women should not have to adopt masculine traits in order to succeed. You should be able to stay as a woman, and in tune with your femininity, and still be equal.
