• On having things her way: “You have to protect some things,
  even if it’s a silly detail like who designed your dress,” she demurs.
  “It was private, which is what I really wanted. I’ve never been the
  girl who thought of the big dress, the big ceremony. I’m more low-key
  than that. Most people want photographers at their wedding, and for us
  it was how do we leave them out?”
• On adjusting to married life:“I feel like everything is
  really normal, it’s calm and natural, like the way it should be,” she
  says. “I have no perspective on it because it’s been such a short time.
  I would never try to profess some knowledge that I discovered. I’m
  happy and it feels very regular, which is good.”
• On Ryan’s proposal: “I wasn’t surprised that it was
  happening, but anyone being presented with a beautiful diamond ring, as
  a girl, you just squeal with delight. You say you can’t believe it, but
  of course you really can. I think all proposals are romantic. It was
  very down-to-earth and genuine. There was no crazy skywriting or
  anything like that, just nice words, and it was very sweet.”

• On Ryan’s running the marathon: “I went to some random spot
  and saw everybody going past,” she says of the lengthy race. “It was
  really incredible. I’m a horrible runner; I can barely put one foot in
  front of the other. I saw that J.Lo did a triathlon and I’m like, Damn,
  girl, you just had twins! It’s amazing. I’m so not a sporty spice; I’m
  a stay-at-home-and-veg spice.”
• On being thrilled with Obama’s victory: “I’m absolutely over
  the moon,” she says of his victory, with the broadest of smiles. “If
  I’m invited to the inaugural party, I’ll be there in a giant gown with
  the Obama family silk-screened on it.”
• On her dream role: “Every actor wants to work on a Western,”
  she says simply. Would she want to be an Annie Oakley type? “I would
  run a brothel, like a madam or something. I’m working with what I’ve
  got. It’s only so long that people are going to want to see me in a
  corset,” she says with a laugh. “So I might as well do it now.”
