My life choices are not supposed to be the gateway to somebody else's. That's my journey.

I want everything I do to have humor in it, because it seems to me that all of life has that.

It's hard enough to get any movie made, and when you take on these tough genres - and I've done it a couple times - it just makes the whole struggle more.

And you know, when you take on something like this, you read a book like this, you know that it's going to be an adventure. That's part of what draws you to it.

If your work is going to draw from life, you'd better work very hard to keep up with reality.

Being a writer is like having homework every night for the rest of your life.

I live for makeup and I like wine. These are my truths!

My favorite thing about being a mom is just what a better person it makes you on a daily basis.

Oh, I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus, so I could hug 10 people at a time!

My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.

When things are perfect, that's when you need to worry most.

The best kind of parent you can be is to lead by example.

I don't like camera trickery and editing and doubles and all of that.

I love the very exposed, humorous, imperfect, never-trying to-pretend-to-be-perfect journey that I have been on in my life.

I think that being happy makes the biggest impact on your physical appearance.

You've just got to do the best that you can.

I have always been fond of recognizing the spiritual side of someone's personality. It's a very lovely concept.

Apparently vodka helps flowers last longer when they're dying. But you can put vodka in anything and it'll make it better.

I never want to get to the point where it's all about my needs, and the hell with anybody else.
