In 2002 Mom and I got a chance to act together in a play called 'Pitching to the Star,' with her brother, Robert Lipton. The three of us on the same stage - that was such a special experience for me.

I think every girl has that a guy she has trouble letting go of.
I'm terrified of performing live.
I really like the relaxed glamour of the '70s.
I don't want to be an artist, go on tour and make a video and wear sexy clothes. I would just love to make music.
I think that women are powerful and they're multifaceted and they're survivors; they don't have to depend on a man to do the things they needed them to do, whether it was hunting or lifting heavy things, so what's a man's place now? Who knows!
I've always dreamt of having some sort of undercover job. I think it's probably the coolest thing in the world, but ultimately a very lonely life.
People still go to Comic-Con because they love comics.
Chemotherapy is brutal. The goal is pretty much to kill everything in your body without killing you.
My activities tend to revolve around crossword puzzles, reading and playing piano and games with my friends.
It's very challenging to learn something new as an adult.
For the most part, there's so much of me in my characters.
It's such a fortunate life, if you can work as an actor.
I want a baby and I want a family, for sure.
In college, I had a lot of friends who were writers and wanted to be writers and I felt intimidated by it. I just didn't know if I had any gift or voice and I had no confidence about it.
I can fall asleep anywhere.
I have a lot of skepticism about marriage and monogamy.
Mom is the most unconditionally loving person I will ever know, and she has always supported me on every level.
Music breaks my heart constantly.
It's downright undignified how many blazers I've bought over the years. And will continue to buy. They immediately give shape and add authority. With the perfect blazer, anything is possible.
In my twenties I would be skeptical of a bad haircut, but once you turn thirty it's more about whether he a nice person and does he open the door for me. Once you turn thirty-five, it's more about would he make a good father. And even if you're just liking somebody and digging on someone, I think you can't help but think in those terms.
I kind of understand now why people freak out when they see celebrities that they love, because that's how I feel about every single Muppet.
Spy plots are hard, really hard.
Control the public's perception of you and nobody will care if you have any talent.
I know that in life there will be sickness, devastation, disappointments, heartache - it's a given. What's not a given is the way you choose to get through it all. If you look hard enough, you can always find the bright side.
People are not enjoying life because they're trying to be something or brand themselves.
I have a father who came from nothing and conquered the world. The last thing I'm going to do is sit here and spend his money and try to look pretty. That's not interesting to me at all.
Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.
I don't like expectations.
I know my mom said as early as she can remember letting me watch TV, my one treat a week when I was like 6 was to stay up and watch 'Saturday Night Live.'
Caring about what people think of me decreases everyday.
Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that's beautiful.
I pretty much borrow my entire beauty regime from my mom.
I am definitively qualitative about work.
My mother and I are more than best friends; we are partners in crime. After she and my father, Quincy Jones, separated when I was 10 years old, my sister, Kidada, who was 12, went to live with our dad, and I stayed with my mother.
I have no issues with my identity.
To me, it's really easy to feel glamorous and beautiful with red lips. It's great because you don't have to do anything else. I don't have to do anything to my face. I can have cleanly washed hair and if I just put on like a matte red lip, it just makes everything seem special.
Timing is everything with relationships.
I feel like there is this weird thing where celebrity involvement in political campaigns kind of goes together like peanut butter and chocolate. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.
I find it scary to sing - scarier than acting actually.
I remember being a kid and seeing the 'National Inquirer' at the grocery store checkout line. When somebody actually picked up a copy, it was mortifying. You felt dirty for them. But now it's perfectly acceptable to read something like that. There's absolutely no taboo surrounding that kind of exploitation.
Just because a situation is grim doesn't mean you don't have every right to smile.
For the most part, having more money and more fame make your life harder. It just does. I've seen it happen with people. You know, it's so hard to stay normal. It's so hard to stay happy. It's hard to remember why you were doing what you did in the first place.
Streaking through a large crowd has always been a secret fantasy of mine.
I'm generally a pretty friendly person.
I took a Groundlings class in my 20s, and I was terrible. They didn't even pass me to the next level.
You know, I grew up on romantic comedies, and it's hard to find a new way to tell that story.
I think you make mistakes, especially in your twenties, where you date guys you wouldn't even be friends with - ever.
I tend to leave the house without makeup all the time. I'm kind of lazy that way.
Marriage feels like an industry with catering and really expensive bands.
