कॉमेडी करना बहुत मुश्किल काम है, और मुझे समझ नहीं आता कि अवार्ड्स में इसकी अपनी कोई अलग श्रेणी (category) क्यों नहीं होती। मैं यह नहीं समझ पाता कि लोगों को ऐसा क्यों लगता है कि ड्रामा करना कॉमेडी करने से ज़्यादा कठिन है। इसे वह सम्मान नहीं मिलता जो मिलना चाहिए। यह मुश्किल है। सचमुच बहुत मुश्किल है। कॉमेडी के लिए कुछ सम्मान मिलना ज़्यादा संतोषजनक होता, क्योंकि ऐसा बहुत कम या बिल्कुल नहीं होता है।
Comedy is hard to do, and I don't know why it doesn't have its own category in awards. I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy. It doesn't get respect. It's hard. It's really hard. It would be more gratifying to get something for a comedy, because it doesn't happen much or at all.

सब कुछ एक संघर्ष है। वैसे हर चीज़ सापेक्ष (relative) भी होती है, इसलिए मुझे अभी भी ऐसा लगता है कि मैं कई मायनों में संघर्ष कर रहा हूँ। मुझे अगले महीने का किराया चुकाने की चिंता नहीं है, लेकिन लगभग दो महीनों में, देखते हैं क्या होता है।
Everything is a struggle. Everything is relative, too, so I still feel like I'm struggling, in many aspects. I'm not worried about paying my rent next month, but in about two months, we'll see.

मैं जहाँ भी जाती हूँ, अपने साथ एक फूला हुआ स्लेटी रंग का डाउन जैकेट ज़रूर रखती हूँ। यह वैसे तो सर्दियों के लिए होता है, पर मैं इसका इस्तेमाल सबसे ज़्यादा गर्मियों में करती हूँ, जब हर तरफ़ एसी तेज़ चल रहा होता है।
I bring a poofy gray down jacket with me wherever I go. It's meant for winter, but I use it most in the summer, when everyone cranks up the air-conditioning.

मुझे लगता है जड (अपैटोव) मेरे हमसफ़र हैं क्योंकि हमने कई मुश्किल दौर देखे हैं, हालांकि अच्छे पल भी ख़ूब रहे हैं।
I guess Judd (Apatow) is my soul mate because we have a lot of hard times, and it's great at times, too.

मैं अपनी उन सहेलियों के साथ लंच पर जाती हूँ जो अभी 40 साल की हुई हैं। कभी-कभी तो हम उन मुलाकातों में अपने पतियों को लेकर इस हद तक रोती-चिल्लाती हैं कि उन्हें छोड़कर भाग जाने का मन करता है। और फिर, कभी हम बिल्कुल ठीक होती हैं, अपने पतियों से बेइंतिहा प्यार करती हैं और अपनी ज़िंदगी से ख़ुद को खुश पाती हैं।
I have lunches with my girlfriends, who just turned 40, and some of those lunches, we're crying and screaming about our husbands, saying we want to leave them and run away. And then, other lunches, we're fine and love our husbands and are happy with our lives.

मुझे डार्क ह्यूमर पसंद है। मेरी ऑल-टाइम फेवरिट फिल्म 'हेरोल्ड एंड मौड' है।
I like dark humor. My favorite movie of all time is 'Harold and Maude.'

मुझे ज़्यादा ज़मीनी और यथार्थवादी कॉमेडी पसंद है। वैसे तो मुझे लाउड कॉमेडी भी अच्छी लगती है, लेकिन मुझे शर्ली मैकलैइन का अंदाज़ बहुत भाता है।
I like more grounded comedy. I enjoy broad comedies also, but I like Shirley MacLaine.

मुझे लोगों के सामने बोलने से बहुत डर लगता है!

मैं आप शराबी लोगों को बहुत ग़ौर से देखती हूँ। मैं बस ख़ुद को उस स्थिति में पूरी तरह ढाल लेती हूँ और उस नशे की हालत को पूरी शिद्दत से जीती हूँ—ऐसा नहीं है कि मैंने ख़ुद कभी ऐसा किया हो। सच कहूँ तो, इसका मुझे काफ़ी अनुभव है।
I observe a lot of you drunk people. What I do is I just let myself go there and fully commit to that drunk thing, not that I've ever done that myself. I've had a lot of practice. Let's be honest.

मुझे याद है, बचपन में मेरे पापा मुझसे हमेशा कहते थे, "बुढ़ापा आने से बेहतर है कि इंसान मौत को गले लगा ले।" हालाँकि, अब तो ख़ुद मेरे पापा ही उस 'विकल्प' बन चुके हैं, इसलिए मुझे नहीं पता कि वह इस पर क्या कहते। वह अब इस दुनिया में नहीं हैं।
I remember, as a kid, my dad always told me, "Getting older beats the alternative." Although, now my father actually is the alternative, so I don't know what he would say. He's completely dead.

मुझे लगता है कि जब मैं पहली बार माँ बनी थी, तो अपनी ही दुनिया में मग्न रहने से लेकर एक ऐसे दौर में ढलना बहुत मुश्किल था जहाँ मैं अपने बारे में सोच तक नहीं पाती थी। पर दिन के आख़िर में, मुझे लगता है कि यह सबसे बेहतरीन अनुभव है जिससे किसी को गुज़रना चाहिए। यह आपको एक बेहतर इंसान बनाता है। इसका मतलब यह बिल्कुल नहीं है कि जो लोग इस अनुभव से नहीं गुज़रते, वे अच्छे इंसान नहीं होते। पर मेरे लिए, यह एक बहुत अच्छी चीज़ थी।
I think that at the time, when I was first pregnant, it was hard to make the transition from being totally self-involved to not being able to think about myself at all. At the end of the day, I think that's the best thing that someone can go through. I think it makes you a better person. It doesn't mean that people who don't go through that aren't good people. For me, it was a good thing.

मुझे लगता है कि हम अलग ज़रूर हैं, लेकिन कई मायनों में हम एक जैसी हैं और असल ज़िंदगी से लेकर परदे तक हम एक-दूसरे की कमियों को बखूबी पूरा करती हैं। कैमरून (डिएज़) मेरे लिए एक गुरु की तरह हैं। और केट (अपटन) मेरी बेटी जैसी है। वह मेरी बेटी से महज़ पाँच साल ही बड़ी है, इसलिए मैं हमेशा से उसकी हिफ़ाज़त करना चाहती थी।
I think we're different, but we are very similar in a lot of ways, and we really complement each other in real life and on screen. Cameron [Diaz], for me, is like the teacher. And Kate's [Uptone] like my daughter. She's only five years older than my daughter, and so, I always wanted to protect her.

अलौकिक और रहस्यमयी चीज़ें मुझे हमेशा से आकर्षित करती रही हैं।

मेरी माँ ने तीन बार शादी की। जहाँ तक मेरे पापा की बात है... तो मेरा कोई पिता है ही नहीं। मेरा मतलब है, वह हैं तो सही, पर उनके साथ मेरा कोई नाता नहीं है।
My mother married three times. My dad is... I don't really have one. I mean, he does exist, but I have zero relationship with him.

'नाइन टू फाइव' वाक़ई मेरी पसंदीदा फिल्मों में से एक है। बचपन में मैंने इसे हज़ारों बार देखा है, सचमुच हज़ारों बार।
Nine to Five is actually one of my favorite movies. I watched it a thousand times when I was a child, literally a thousand times.

परफेक्ट दिखने वाले लोग मुझे दुनिया के सबसे डरावने लोग लगते हैं।
Perfect people are the scariest people to me.

भगवान का शुक्र है कि मैंने अपने करियर को परिवार से ऊपर नहीं रखा। वह मेरी ज़िंदगी की सबसे बड़ी भूल होती। मुझे बेहद ख़ुशी है कि चीज़ें जैसी थीं, वैसे ही आगे बढ़ीं।
Thank God I didn't put my career over family. That would have been the biggest mistake of my life. I'm really happy it went the way it did.

मुझे [द अदर वुमन] फिल्म में जो बात सबसे ज़्यादा पसंद आई, वो यही थी। इसमें तीन ऐसी औरतें थीं जो किसी और वजह से कभी साथ नहीं आ सकती थीं, सिवाय इसके कि उन सबकी एक ही समस्या थी और वे एक ही मकसद के लिए साथ थीं। मैं फिल्म में बिल्कुल यही एहसास लाना चाहती थी। इसी बात से मुझे इसकी बहुत प्रेरणा मिली।
What I loved about [The Other Woman] movie was the same thing. It was three women who would never have come together for any other reason except that they had something in common which was this common cause, and that's really the feeling that I wanted this movie to have. It was a huge influence for it.

जब मैंने ऑडिशन देना शुरू किया, तो मुझे जो भी ऑडिशन मिलता, मैं कर लेती थी। नाटकीय दृश्यों वाले ऑडिशन कॉमेडी वाले दृश्यों जितने अच्छे नहीं हो पाते थे।
When I started auditioning, I'd take any audition I could get. The more dramatic ones didn't go as well as the comedic.

जब मैं 9 साल की थी, तो मेरे माता-पिता ने मुझे अकेले कैब से मॉल जाने दिया था। मेरे पास खर्च करने के लिए ज़्यादा पैसे तो नहीं थे, लेकिन मेरे पास करने के लिए कामों की एक बहुत पक्की लिस्ट थी: कुकीज़ खरीदना और सियर्स (स्टोर) के फर्नीचर पर बैठना।
When I was 9, my parents let me take a cab to the mall all by myself. I had hardly any money to spend, but I did have a very specific list of things I wanted to do: buy cookies and sit on the furniture at Sears.

जब मैं एक्टिंग क्लास में थी, तो हमने कई बहुत गंभीर सीन किए, लेकिन कभी कॉमेडी सीन नहीं किए। मुझे ऐसा लगता था कि जब मैं वो गंभीर सीन करती थी, तो वो मेरे मुँह से सही तरह से बाहर नहीं आते थे। मुझे नहीं पता कि ऐसा मेरी आवाज़ अलग होने की वजह से था, या मुझमें किसी और बात की कमी थी, लेकिन वो कुछ अजीब सा लगता था।
When I was in acting class, we did a lot of really serious scenes, and we didn't do comedic scenes. I felt like doing those scenes, it didn't come out of my mouth the right way. I don't know if it's because my voice is different, or what it is about me, but it just seemed a little off.

औरतों को दाढ़ी-मूँछ और घने बालों वाले मर्द पसंद होते हैं। इतिहास में गुफाओं में रहने वाले आदिमानव सबसे ज़्यादा आकर्षक हुआ करते थे।
