Anna Faris

My comedy does not come from a place of deep cynicism, and I tend to play characters who are naive in some way.

One of the things that comedy has given me over the years is a really good ability to laugh at myself and to not take things that don't matter too much too seriously. I feel that very little offends me anymore and I'm really grateful for that because I think I was a pretty uptight little kid.

After I had my baby, I reprioritized my life in general. I really wanted to play characters that gave me a different kind of fulfillment. That is a difficult thing to find, especially as an actress.

Blythe Danner is somebody whose career I admire. She's a great actress and does good work, but also has a life of her own. I love my job but, at the end of the day, I want to come home and watch a movie and drink a bottle of wine with my husband.

When I travel, it makes me wish I looked completely polished all the time. I don't. I live in sweats.

There are times when I think, 'Do I have the energy to be upset?' and the answer is 'no.'

I've been acting since I was 9, but in college I entered the drama program, and I didn't excel at it at all, kind of for the first time.

There was a time when I was willing to marry any cute boy that looked at me.

As a working mom, you're running around all the time, and you're trying to figure out what can my kid eat that's healthy because, I guess, I'm 'supposed to do that.'

I can't stand confrontation, which maybe is a character flaw. But having said that, I do feel like when I do get upset - which is rare, as my husband and family would say - I have a hard time letting go.

You know, right now, they say - I don't know who says this, but somebody told me - there's three male roles to every female role. And I guess I'd work on evening that up. Making great roles for women. It's just such a huge challenge.
