My feeling about growing up in New Jersey was, 'How come I'm not in New York?' That being said, I'm older and I have a better worldview now, and so I think I grew up in an incredibly privileged position. The town I grew up in is beautiful. I got a great education, and I'm very grateful for it.

I kind of got my big break with 'The Princess Diaries' and during the press rounds for that everyone asked me: 'Did you always want to be a princess growing up?' And the truth was, no I wanted to be Catwoman.

I've wanted to be a mother since I was 16, but I also just knew I wanted to have a career as well.

I believe I've always been a big believer in equality. No one has ever been able to tell me I couldn't do something because I was a girl.

Everybody in my family had a real sick, twisted sense of humor. Most of the jokes we make in our house, we would just never even dream of making anywhere else. Just sick, horrible stuff. That wasn't anything new to college.

I love comedy. Playing the underdog, and getting the laughs is my form of entertainment. I could think of nothing different that I would want to be doing at this time in my life.

For the amount of talent I had - and I couldn't dance, act, or tell a joke - I enjoyed a tremendous career.

I do enjoy doing action quite clearly, but I also really like doing comedy.
