apparently she says in the interview she was "miscast" in morning glory. its odd that she's wearing a sheepskin coat in one of the editorial images in the june issue.
On being hesitant to take on certain roles: “Sometimes I don’t think I’m the best person for the job. That was the case with Morning Glory. Sometimes I think, Really? You see me as this? Just because I don’t see myself that way, does that mean I shouldn’t do it? I tend to go, Is this the right decision? What are the ramifications of doing this part? You can start to overanalyze. But once I make the decision, it’s full steam ahead.”
On working with Owen Wilson again in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris: "It's definitely a different dynamic from the last time we were together. It wasn't as fun being mean. I love that Woody likes good guys to be good guys and bad guys to be bad guys. Owen seemed to respond really well when I was a really bad guy."On her role in Mean Girls: "With Mean Girls, I originally auditioned for the part that Lindsay Lohan played. I wouldn't have seen myself playing Regina at all. But when I read the script, I thought, Oh, this part is way more fun; I wonder who will play that.…"
On finding inspiration in her parents' marriage: "(They are) still together and still in love. I'm very blessed that way. I had a great example of love in front of me, and that's probably what makes me such a romantic, because I've seen it firsthand."
On her expectations for relationships:"You grow up and you assume that everyone is like that, and you quickly realize that they're not, and then you have those days when you wonder if you're going to find it for yourself. It's such a hard thing to find. I think it was more that realization that rocked me."
On the critics' reaction to Morning Glory: "It's funny, because so many people said to me, "It's the kind of film you don't see anymore, done in a way that isn't done anymore." I thought that was a really positive thing, but apparently not. I only hear these businesspeople: "Well, no one was sure who it was for."
