Question: Your "Holiday" co-star Kate Winslet has been nominated for four Academy Awards. You're best-known for frothy comedies such as "There's Something About Mary" and "Charlie's Angels." Does that ever make you feel, oh, I don't know, undervalued?

Answer: I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm happy with the things that I've accomplished. I'm not ashamed for being a happy, bubbly, funny person. I think that's just as valid as being the dark, brooding, tortured, Oscar-nominated one.

Not that I think that's what Kate is at all, but certainly, if you want to start putting people in boxes, I don't think that I'm undervalued. I'm really just honored to be in the position that I am in. I'm not going out there going, "I need more."

Question: You don't need more. You're one of Hollywood's highest-paid, most sought-after stars. Where do you want to go from here?

Answer: I'm terrible at making plans; I've no idea what I want. I remember when I started doing this, my first film, "The Mask." Everybody kept asking me, "Ten years from now, what kind of work do you see yourself doing?" I was like, "I don't know." I didn't know if I'd still be making movies or doing something completely different, but I just knew that I wanted to be happy, period. Whatever it is, making movies or milking a cow. I'm kind of on a milking-a-cow trip right now. I don't know why.

Question: So it's been more than 10 years — are you happy?

Answer: I am very happy. I can't complain, although I do (laughs). But overall, I'm very happy with everything.

Question: And you haven't exactly been killing yourself lately, making about one movie a year and a "Shrek" cartoon or two.

Answer: I'm sure there's a lot of great roles out there. I'm just really bad at commitment; I hate committing myself to anything. So ... I'm really bad at saying, "Yeah, I'm gonna be there in three months."

It's gotta be something that I'm really sure I'm going to be happy doing if I get there.

I don't know where that comes from. It's probably a lack of discipline, honestly. It's probably being a spoiled brat and getting my way every time. It's the way it is. I just, you know ... I don't wanna do it (laughs). I'm sure I'll suffer for it later, but I'm happy right now.

Question: You're in a long-term relationship, too, which surely helps. But "The Holiday" is about two heartbroken women. Could you relate?
