She added: "Usually, people are making so much money off your back that it comes down to a sort of justice thing for me. I make it a point to not be too concerned with 'I hope they think I'm a team player'. The people who are calling and making the deals are business affairs. It's not the producer.

The star lives in Brooklyn, New York, with husband and actor John Krasinski and their daughters Hazel and Violet.
