| 1 | I wouldn't have made it past the first round of American Idol auditions. It was months before our first song was recorded. The guys were like, 'Just seeng!' And I was like, 'I don't know how to seeng! Can't I just play the triangle?' |
| 2 | Women have a way of contorting things sometimes. We all have our moods, ups and downs. Or if the guy doesn't say anything when you walk out with a new top and the guy has no idea why you're mad at him. So of course, women are complicated. |
| 3 | Turns out, I couldn't catch them - or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing, beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out. |
| 4 | I've always felt so different from how I look. I meet so many pretty girls who are like, 'Here I am! Don't you want me because I look good?' That concept is so weird to me. I want to know, 'What else do you have going on?' |
| 5 | I'm a tooth person... I like quirky teeth. My husband has little teeth with spaces in between them. He hates them and I love them. I like people with buckteeth, and I like it when they crinkle a bit. It's very charming. |
| 6 | I was always active as a kid. I was a professional figure skater for many years and I was a dancer, so it's just been part of my life, and I think that creates a certain body type. |
| 7 | I shouldn't say this, but I always love the sidekicks. I want to do a leading-lady role in a film - absolutely. But I find that a lot of times I get attracted to the sidekick role. They stand out a little more because they're quirkier, they're funnier, they're crazier. |
| 8 | I meet so many pretty girls who are like, 'Here I am! Don't you want me because I look good?' That concept is so weird to me. I want to know, 'What else do you have going on?' |
| 9 | I love when you get to work with people you know because there's so much more trust, and you're much more willing to be vulnerable in a scene with someone you trust. |
| 10 | I love the Coen brothers. They're so brilliant, and they always surprise you in one way or another. 'A Serious Man' was awesome. I like stuff like that, that kind of throws you for a loop. It takes you on a journey that is unexpected. |
| 11 | I have to say: 'Couples Retreat,' when we got that script, was a work in progress. What you see onscreen is not at all what you saw in the first draft. There was a lot of rewriting during, before, and a lot of improv. That happens a lot with comedies I've been in. There's always a lot of improv, which is the magic of the moment. That's fun as well. |
| 12 | I have been a goof my whole life. I wasn't really the popular girl in school and didn't have any boyfriends in high school because I was a nerd. I was a geek. |
| 13 | I do love doing films; I love going out and creating different characters for each film, and not having to be stuck with one role for many, many years. It's a creative liberty that I love. |
| 14 | I believe in eating as nutritiously as I can all the time... My mother raised me on fresh - rather than processed - foods, and that's how I eat on a regular basis. |
| 15 | Anytime you get to work with an actor who is beyond you in experience and talent, I feel like they make you a better actor. You really bring up your game. |
| 16 | In '87, I was about 9 years old, and so at that point I was wearing, like, fluorescent green T-shirts and acid-wash jeans and leg warmers, and my hair was in a ponytail with a scrunchie and I had the teased bangs that were up in a rainbow shape. It was crazy. |
| 17 | I'm such a bad shopper for myself. I love fashion and all that kind of stuff, but that's sort of the last thing I want to do when I'm done with a film is go shopping. I want to just chill. |
| 18 | I would love to interview Dave Grohl. I just think he's an amazing musician, and I grew up listening to Nirvana, so I have so many questions about that. |
| 19 | I think recharging is important, absolutely. Every now and then, you need maybe a couple of weeks to just chill out and let your emotions balance themselves out a little bit. |
| 20 | It's a great beauty tip, if you ever want to look five years younger, to shave off your eyebrows. It's amazing what it does. It really shaves off the years. |
| 21 | Who doesn't love a funny girl who can look sexy at the same time? |
| 22 | You've got to allow yourself the things you enjoy or you'll just be miserable. |
| 23 | Every time I'm in Canada I feel more Swedish, and every time I'm in Sweden I feel more Canadian. I belong in both places and I love them both equally. It's funny because the Swedes claim me as their Swedish pride and the Canadians call me their Canadian girl. I'll take it all. |
| 24 | I don't really have an issue with showing certain parts of my body. I'd rather not, but it's not a big deal. Growing up in Sweden, it's natural over there. |
| 25 | I loved 'Pan's Labyrinth.' It transported me into another world. I like fantasy worlds; I love 'Lord of the Rings' as well, for that reason, because you really get to get out of reality and go somewhere else. |
| 26 | They say that your second trimester is when you get most of your energy and it's the 'easiest' part of the pregnancy. |
| 27 | Those are my favorite kind of parts to do, just being a goofball and seeing how far you can go with something until you're just way out of line. |
| 28 | Unfortunately, I like to feel a little stubble when I kiss. Women are too soft. |
| 29 | When I get dolled up to go out, men turn their heads and I'm used to it. But I think all women are sexy and should embrace that side of themselves. |
| 30 | When you live in L.A., it is easy to stay fit, as the weather is amazing. |
| 31 | Women have a way of contorting things sometimes. We all have our moods, ups and downs. |
| 32 | My only requirement for life is that I don't get stuck in a rut. |
| 33 | Nutella. I dig my spoon in and eat it straight out of the jar. I can easily go through one a week. |
| 34 | People do think you're more intelligent if you have dark hair. But my husband definitely prefers me as a blonde. |
| 35 | There isn't a woman alive who doesn't have problems with her body. Including me! |
| 36 | I think we can leave mullets back in the '80s. I'm really not a big fan of them. |
| 37 | I'd love to do all types of film, not just comedy, although I love comedy. |
| 38 | I'm gluten intolerant, so that automatically cuts carbs from my diet. |
| 39 | Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd are really amazing, lovely people and really great comedic actors. |
| 40 | Modeling was never anything that was a career choice. I did catalog work in Toronto to make money so that I could go to school. |
| 41 | I love seeing when actors go from one genre to the next because I feel like most of them can pull it off. |
| 42 | I never was shy, but as far as telling jokes, I'm the worst. I like physical comedy; it's where I feel comfortable. |
| 43 | I still get excited by working with big names. You have that initial moment of, 'Oh my goodness, I'm going to work with Tom Cruise!' |
| 44 | I think Cate Blanchett is fabulous - she just shines in everything she does - and I'm a big Susan Sarandon fan. |
| 45 | I think it's critical in any character you play that it really is about reacting instead of acting. You can always tell when a person is acting. |
| 46 | I always love the quirky stuff, which is why I love 'Childrens Hospital.' That really pushes the envelope of comedy. |
| 47 | I don't have a problem with being a woman. Women's bodies are so beautiful. |
| 48 | I don't mind being goofy and silly. I love to make people laugh and I'm not self-conscious. |
| 49 | I have this weird obsession with kids and old people falling. Like, funny falls. It is awful, but it's the thing that makes me laugh the most. |
| 50 | I love a good Slash guitar riff. It's sexy! |
| 51 | The funny thing is that my husband couldn't be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He's got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but when you talk to him and he's around you, he's such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans. |
| 52 | We all in real life put on these masks - we don't swear when we're around certain people... When we come home, when you're on your own I'm sure you're really different than when you're with your boss. |
| 53 | A lot of big studio films, which are fun and great, tend to have a formula, and you've seen it before, and it's a new version of it. |
| 54 | As a girl I wanted the Cyndi Lauper hairstyle, with the shaved side of the head, or the Sharon Stone perm from 'Total Recall.' |
| 55 | How can you not love a man banging on the drums? He knows how to keep a rhythm. |
| 56 | I'm the type of person who doesn't want to sit alone in a restaurant or bar. |
| 57 | I get horrified when I have to do table reads with the whole cast, because there's a lot of stuttering coming from me, so I have to do a lot of prep. |
| 58 | I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band. |
| 59 | I am extremely lucky that I have a husband who is so supportive. He's not in the slightest bit jealous or worried about the things I do in certain scenes. |
| 60 | I'm a big pasta fan. I'm a big Italian food fan. Anything Italian - I love cheese, mozzarella. Mozzarella is my favorite, so I have to say anything Italian, I'll take it. |
| 61 | I can't walk by chocolate without eating it. |
| 62 | Don't hate me, but I've always been skinny. I got lucky. |
| 63 | People are all vulnerable in so many different ways. We go into survival mode a lot of times. |
| 64 | I always did TV commercials and made great money to put myself through school. That became guest starring roles on TV shows. |
| 65 | I like when you watch a film and you feel like you're a part of somebody's life for an hour and a half. |
| 66 | [on Tom Cruise] There's an aura around him. He's professional, positive, upbeat, always smiling, always encouraging. I mean. it's crazy how huge a star he is, yet he's actually a real person, so down to earth. He engages everyone, cast and crew. |
