I have the emergency kit in my purse that has double-sided tape and Tylenol, and a small energy bar. I’m the one that has an extra lip gloss just in case.
I’m really into makeup. I love it! I think it’s so trendy to be like, ‘Oh, I don’t ever wear makeup,’ but it’s super fun, and I’ve always enjoyed it.
I love little Peter Pan collars and little puff sleeves.
I love Banana Boat’s brand. They don’t test on animals; they’re natural. Their kids’ products are amazing.
A dress is so great because you can grab a dress, then you either wear it with tights or no tights, depending on what the weather is outside. You can throw a little jacket over it; you can take the jacket off. It’s very easy.
I was in New York and I went to a meatball shop with my friend and there was paparazzi there and I thought, ‘How did you know that someone was gonna come to this meatball shop?’ But I was pregnant and I wanted a meatball sub and let me tell you, it was delicious.
I’ve always liked being funny and making people laugh. I was a cut-up when I was a kid and was always doing bits for my friends and family. I remember doing pratfalls on the playground in fourth grade for my friend and really hurting my hip.
I have my own grown-up versions of temper tantrums, too. I have a hard time not getting hurt when my kids have meltdowns.
I had really specific ideas of what kind of mom I was going to be and what kind of things I was going to provide for my child – even down to the organic, wooden toys Birdie was going to be allowed to chew on. Then cut to my daughter being obsessed with every plastic, 99-cent store toy.
Ever since I was a teenager, I always had a very strong sense of my own personal style. Kind of for better or for worse – actually I don’t think it’s ever been for worse. The way that I dress has always been a pretty accurate reflection of my personality and my life.
Don’t get me wrong: I love ‘Moana!’ But when it gets to the point where you find yourself singing Disney songs in your dreams, you have an issue.
I really try to do and eat the same thing every day when I’m home and in my routine.
It’s hard to find a way to be good to your husband, be good to your kid, and be good to yourself.
I don’t wear a lot of jeans, which I know is a controversial statement. I just don’t feel the most like myself in jeans.
I always pack a travel snack bag. You don’t want to get stuck without snacks no matter where you go!
It can feel isolating to be a mom. I’ve been one and felt isolated.
Anybody who works with me knows this: I always repeat wardrobe in my characters. We’re trying to play real people.
I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you enjoy something, there’s nothing guilty about it.
You just have to focus on what’s really important in life, and that’s your friends and your family and the life that you build.
It’s interesting when people make comments about celebrities’ weight gain or lack of weight gain as if they’re a medical professional that’s treating that celebrity. Like, ‘This doctor does not treat Jessica Simpson, but thinks her weight is unhealthy.’ If you don’t treat her, then how do you know?
There’s no one right way to be a person, we’re all just doing our best. So the same thing should apply to parenting and raising your children and the things you go through.
I talk a lot. I’m very decisive.
I love proving that I can do something.
My husband has no desire to work with me; don’t get it twisted. He gets paid a lot of money to write giant movies. He’s not into humoring me with my projects. But, that being said, I did have the story credit on ‘Blades of Glory,’ and writing is something that I’ve always been interested in pursuing more.
