I'm not an amazing cook, but I can follow a recipe.

Rachel McAdams

Chemistry is so important in a great kiss. You can act your way through anything, but its hard with a kiss.

You know when you find a great dress, you've gotta hold on to it.

I can be quite surprised by what makes me cry, but it's usually spiritual things.

You have to be really open to your acting partners and believe in the story.

I would like to be invisible because I'd love to go into people's houses and see their interior decorating.

During a movie, chemistry is so important, and yet they just assume actors can fake their way through it. That doesn't always work.

Running through airports with pounds of luggage - that's a good workout.

I personally think you can have a really rich and full life with no abs. Abs are for wimps.

I drink maple syrup. Then I'm hyper so I just run around like crazy and work it all off.

I've been given lots of great advice, in my life. As an actor, just being as honest and as present as you can be.

I have a certain curiosity for life that drives me and propels me forward.

I have, in some ways, saved characters that have been marginalized by society by playing them - and having them still have dignity and still survive, still get through it.

I was never the ingenue or the pretty girlfriend of Tom Cruise in a movie. I didn't have that career, so I don't have to compete on that level.

I saw leaving college as an opportunity to do something different with my life. I always thought that becoming an academic was going to be my path.

But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.

I make movies about people in spiritual crisis because it's a way for me to spend the time, the energy, the focus and the obsession to come to terms with my own spiritual crisis.
