I Just Think Happiness Is What Makes You Pretty. Period. Happy People Are Beautiful. They Become Like A Mirror And They Reflect That Happiness. If Somebody Walks In The Room And They're Drop-dead Gorgeous And Sexy, It's Really Fun To Look At. But If Someone Is Giving Of Their Spirit And They Make You Laugh And Feel Good, That's A Whole Other Level Of Beauty.

More From Drew Barrymore

I Know That I Won't Succeed At Everything, Every Day. Some Days Have To Be Solely About My Daughter. Some Days I Really Try To Be A Good Wife. Other Days, I Can Take A Few Hours For Myself And Just Do Nothing But Really Focus On Work.

Life Is Not About Focusing On The Obstacles. It's About How You Handle Them, And Whether You Get Enlightenment Or Levity From The Way You Do It

Speaking Of Important Things, There Are So Many Battles Right Now That People Are Fighting For That It's Overwhelming, But I Am Always In Favor Of People Who Crusade For The Sake Of People's Hearts And Their Well-being. That Is What Is Important.

I Was Born 10 Years Old.

I Don't Think That I Have Any Musical Talent.

Happiness Takes Work. It Doesn't Always Fall Off Trees Or Come Easily. You Really Have To Be Someone That Doesn't Fall Prey To Being Sad. I Don't Want Sad, I Can't Be Sad, I Don't Want To Be About Sad; I Avoid Sad. It Inherently Envelops You, So Do Everything That You Can To Escape It All The Time.

Kisses, Even To The Air, Are Beautiful.

My Mother And I Split Ways When I Was Very Young And Have Never Really Reconciled.

Becoming Emancipated At 14, My Life Wasn't Normal. I Didn't Have To Go To School, So I Didn't. I Was Rebellious By Nature. I Spent My 20s Focusing On My Company, Flower Films, And Producing Movies. Now That I'm Almost 30, I Would Like To Try Other Things In Lie. I'm Crazy About Photography, And I Want To Take An Art History Class.

The More You Do Speak From The Heart, Rather Than Thumping The Agenda, People Will Listen Or Relate Or Open Themselves Up More.

I Know What The Intimidation Level Of High School Is. You're On A Hamster Wheel, Running, Running, Running, Trying So Hard To Fit In. It's All About How You Deal With What You're Given, Feeling Ok With Being The Odd Man Out Before You're Finally Successful.

I'm A Carb Queen. I'll Always Order Macaroni And Cheese, But I Don't Want It To Be Fancy. I Want It To Be As Close To Kraft Services As It Can Possibly Get!

I Am Obsessed With Ice Cubes. Obsessed.

No Matter What The Genre, I Want To See Me And My Friends. I Want To See Reality. I Want To See What We're Really Like. I Loved 'bridesmaids'. I Thought It Was The Most Honest Portrayal Of Female Friendship In Such A Long Time.

The Thing That Has Been Weighing On My Mind This Week Is That I Wanted To Go And Save All The Little Live Lobsters In Restaurants And Throw Them Back In The Ocean. Imagine Me Being Arrested For That.

If I Ever Start Talking To You About My 'craft', My 'instrument', You Have Permission To Shoot Me.

Being Pregnant And Having A Toddler, As Every Parent Says, Is Amazing. You're Very Tired, But It's So Wonderful. God, It's Emotional, But It's The Best. I Wouldn't Want To Be Anywhere Else.

I'm Sure Wine Snobs Look At Me And Think, How Dare You.

That Thing, That Moment, When You Kiss Someone And Everything Around Becomes Hazy And The Only Thing In Focus Is You And This Person And You Realize That That Person Is The Only Person That Youre Supposed To Kiss For The Rest Of Your Life, And For One Moment You Get This Amazing Gift And You Want To Laugh And You Want To Cry Because You Feel So Lucky That You Found It And So Scared That That It Will Go Away All At The Same Time.

When I Lay My Head On The Pillow At Night I Can Say I Was A Decent Person Today. That's When I Feel Beautiful.

I'm Such A Workaholic. I'm Always Thinking About Work.

Always Thinking

I've Been Producing For 13 Years. I've Made A String Of Joyful Movies With Positive Messages About Comedy, Love And Romance.

When They [breasts] Are Huge, You Become Very Self-conscious...i've Learned Something Though, Through My Years Of Pondering And Pontificating, And That Is: Men Love Them, And I Love That.

I'm A Real Stay-at-home Mom. I'm Really Hands-on. Everything Else Became Secondary.

Trust That Things Will Be Okay - Especially If You Put In The Time And Effort To Make Them Be Okay.

If I Read Something That's Really Intense And Depressive, I Will Face It; I Will Try - But There's Plenty Of Times I Also Run Away. I Think It's Trying To Find A Balance Between The Positive And The Negative. They Don't Exist Without Each Other. It's The Polarity; It's Two Sides Of A Coin. You Can't Get One Without The Other. I Don't Wallow. I Can't Stand It.

Sometimes Get Lost In The White Noise Of People's Anger And Being Super Adamant On One Side Or The Other. And What Fails To Happen Is That You Actually Aren't Disseminating The Information That You Want To Get Across To These People.

I Have Always Been Fond Of Recognizing The Spiritual Side Of Someone's Personality. It's A Very Lovely Concept.

Happiness Is A Choice. You Have To Choose It - And You Have To Fight For It.

Happiness Is A Choice

I Love Jokes, But God, Jokes Can Go So Wrong. I Have Stayed Up Many Nights Thinking, "f**k. I Can't Believe I Made That Silly Little Joke. That Was A Disaster."

Putting Your Name On Something And Having No Idea How It Came About If Someone Else Did All The Work - That's Not Me.

I Think I’m Moody Because I’m A Woman. I Can Ask Any Man In This Room, Like Women Are Just Inherently Like, Moody Or Hormonal People. I Don’t Know How Men Deal With It. I Praise Them.

At 35, I'm Definitely Starting To Feel More Like A Grown-up Than I Ever Have. There's Nothing In My Life That Is Childish Or Whimsical. Having Fun Is Fantastic And I Never Want To Lose A Sense Of That - And Also, I Think, You Have To Have That To Put Into Your Work Or Else It's Going To Feel Stiff.

I Could Never Be Cynical, Not That I Think There's Anything Wrong With Cynicism. I Think It Can Be Quite Funny At Times. But I Just Feel So Grateful To Be Alive.

I Think Chemistry Is Finding Something You Love About A Person And Then Transfering It To An In Love Kind Of Thing.

I Don't Like Working By A Monitor. I Stand Right Next To The Camera, And I'm Very Performance-oriented. That Really Means Everything To Me, Whether It's Doing An Improv Of A Joke Or An Emotional Scene, And Everything In Between.

Sometimes I Bust Out And Do Things So Permanent. Like Tattoos And Marriage.

Permanent Things

I Want To Be With The Man Who Wants To Open A Movie Studio With Me And Make Films For New, Fresh Filmmakers Who Aren't Getting A Chance Somewhere Else. I Haven't Yet Had That Type Of Partnership In A Romantic Relationship.

As A Kid I Got To Like Hang Out With Stephen King. That Was Like The Highlight Of My Life. Cause I Think He's The Raddest Human Being Ever.

When You Have A Big Life Change, It Takes A Long Time To Get Used To Either The New Format Or The Understanding That You Need To Create A New Dream. Or If Things Didn't Work Out, Mourning The Death Of That Dream. It's Hard, Because That's A Very Private Journey.

Apparently Vodka Helps Flowers Last Longer When They're Dying. But You Can Put Vodka In Anything And It'll Make It Better.

I Think That Being Happy Makes The Biggest Impact On Your Physical Appearance.

I Am Not Someone Who Is Ashamed Of My Past. I'm Actually Really Proud. I Know I Made A Lot Of Mistakes, But They In Turn Were My Life Lessons.

I'm Very Homework-oriented - I'm A Little Tracy Flick-ish.

I Learned Early On That Family, As Far As My Mother And Father, Were Not An Option.

Mother And Father

I Don't Mind A Little Sturm Und Drang. When I Was Doing 'riding In Cars With Boys,' I Wouldn't Smile At Anybody, Because My Character, Bev, Was Angry At The World. I'm The Opposite. Inside My Head I'd Be Like, God, I'll Explain To You At The End Of Shooting That I'm Not This Person.

Young Girls Come Up To Me All The Time To Ask For Advice. They See Me As A Survivor.

Everything I Do, I Do Infinite Percent.

There Are So Many Pressures That Are Put Upon Young Women. Whatever We Can Do To Alleviate That And Help Women Feel Beautiful About Who We Are Inside, Which Is The Only Beauty There Truly Is, Is So Nice. Let's Get Down And Dirty. Let's Be A Real Girl.

The Low Points I Had All Helped Make Up My Character, So I Probably Wouldn't Want To Do Away With Them Because I Like Being Flawed And I Like Having Them Help Me Grow And Change And Become Better And Stronger.

I Cry A Lot. I'll Cry Because I See A Person Walking Down The Street Looking Lonely.

Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone, Creating An Adventure Is Really Good.

I Don't Cook, I Can't Cook, And It Is Really Abominable To See Me In The Kitchen. I Order In Takeaway Food Or Get My Friends To Cook Because A Lot Of Them Are Very Good.

There's A Hunger And A Fervor That I Have, But There's No Person I'm Going To Push To The Side To Get Where I'm Going. I Want To Create My Own Road.

You Have To Fight Unhappiness Like A Dragon With Fire And Breathe.

Going Back To Georgiana Drew And John Drew, And My Great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore, And It Was Such A Sort Of Circus Of Odd, Interesting People That Loved Acting.

I Really Have Created A Family. I Work With The People I Love, I Travel With Them, I Make Films With Them, And I'm In An Office With Them. So In A Weird Way - I Know I Haven't Birthed A Child - I Feel That I'm A Part Of Creating A Family. It's A Tribe. I Love That Word.

I Think A Breakup Can Be The Beginning Of A Friendship. That's Not Me Trying To Make Everything Ok - It's Me Saying, "no, We Love Each Other. Let's Not Pretend We Don't."

I've Always Loved Butterflies, Because They Remind Us That It's Never Too Late To Transform Ourselves.

But In Some Ways, I'm Like An Old Woman - Lived It, Seen It, Done It, Been There, Have The T-shirt.

Beauty Is So Within. I Don't Care If You're The Most Attractive Person On The Planet...if You're Not Good Inside, It Will Show. You Fall In Love With People From The Inside Out.

You Know You're Putting A Good Thing Out Into The Universe When You Put On Glitter.

You Can't Live Your Life Blaming Your Failures On Your Parents And What They Did Or Didn't Do For You. You're Dealt The Cards That You're Dealt. I Realised It Was A Waste Of Time To Be Angry At My Parents And Feel Sorry For Myself.

Internet Does Not Equal Sodium Pentothal.

There's Something Liberating About Not Pretending. Dare To Embarrass Yourself. Risk.

I'm So In Control Of My Life, You Shouldn't Dislike Anything I Do-because I'm Not Only In The Best Place I've Ever Been, But It Keeps Getting Better And Better.

I Never Have Been Insecure, Because I See What A Waste It Is. I Know There Is A Solution To Insecurity. I Don't Tend To Be Thrown By Problems That Don't Have Solutions. And Insecurity Has A Wealth Of Alternatives.

Everything I Touched In The Kitchen Turned Out Crappy, No Matter How Closely I Followed The Recipe Or Copied The Cooking Show.

I'm Just Learning Who I Am And How Relationships Work And How To Make Them Function. No Different From Anyone Else.

It's Been Such A Struggle To Learn All That I Have; I Wouldn't Want To Give Any Of That Knowledge Up. That's Why I've Always Loved Acting; As A Kid, I Didn't Necessarily Like My Real Life, So I Could Escape Into These Other Characters And Experience A Life Completely Different From My Own.

Families In Real Life Don't Tend To Resolve Things Neatly.

Any Acting Roles Will Be Few And Far Between Until My Kids Are Older And By Then, Who Knows What I'll Want To Do?

I'm Not A Very Organized Person For Being Uber Work-obsessed. I Struggle To Keep It All Organized Because Everything Can Become Important And, When You Have So Many Spinning Plates, They Sometimes Can Cancel Each Other Out Because You Lose Track Of Everything.

Spinning Plates

I Just Think Everything Is A Learning Experience And Every Moment That You Have That Actually Feels Good Inside Of Your Heart Is An Absolute Blessing And A Gift.

I Just Want To Make Sure I Have A Sense Of Balance Between Work And Life, Because Work Is My Life And The Lines Can Get Really Blurry.

I Think Shazam Is One Of The Coolest Inventions On The Planet, And Whether I Was In A Thrift Store Or In My Car, Every Other Week I Was Shazaming Another Best Coast Song.

Great Dad. Yeah, He Would Ask Me For Money On Birthdays And, You Know, Inappropriate Times. And I Just Wrote Him Off Like, 'you're Not A Father.' I Just Learned You Cannot Emotionally Invest In People Who Are Not Attainable.

Once You've Been In A Mental Institution, People Are Going To Look At You Funny.

I Think Video Village Is Bullshit. It's Like It's A Breeding Ground For People To Nitpick And Feel Important. It's Just Such A Weird Dynamic.

I Live For Makeup And I Like Wine. These Are My Truths!

A Lot Of My Business Is About Protecting Creativity.

I Took The Stairs And Felt Like My Childhood Took The Elevator.

A Fish May Love A Bird, But Where Would They Live?

I Loved Duran Duran's "girls On Film" - It Was Really Sexy And Naughty And Totally Weird. When You're A Kid Watching That Stuff On Television You're Like, "well, We Are Opening Up As A Society!"

But It's All About Confidence And Allowing Yourself To Put Your Personality Into It. I Really Am The Worst Singer On The Planet; I Make People Cry And Vomit When I Sing.

I Swear To God; Happiness Is The Best Makeup.

Every Morning I Stay In Bed For Ten Minutes To Ponder My Place In The Universe. Then I Wash My Face And Check My Karma.

I Try To Make Movies That I Would Want To Go See Rather Than Ones I Would Just Want To Do As An Actor. I Want People To Have Movies Full Of Romance And Hope And Empowerment, Something They Can Escape Into And Feel Good About. I Love Happy Endings.

I Used To Have A Blankie, And When My Mom Had To Wash It, I Would Sit Outside The Dryer And Watch It Go Round And Round, And Cry.

Whatever I've Experienced In My Life Is A Part Of My Story, And I'm Proud Of That. But It's Someone Who Wakes Up Early, Works All Day, Believes In Charitable Work, Business-minded, Diligent, Accountable, Problem-solving... I'm So Much About School, Consistency And Tradition.

Charitable Work

I Think There's A Tremendous Amount Of Guilt That Goes On Between Mothers And Daughters, No Matter How Good Or Bad Their Relationships Are. It Kills Girls Inside When They Think They're Letting Their Mothers Down.

My Therapist Says I Still Haven't Got In Touch With My Anger. Maybe One Day I'm Going To Explode. But I'm Still Really Happy. I Know It Looks Like A Strange And Painful Upbringing - All Those Experiences Led Me To The Paths That I'm On Now.

The Stories That I Want To Tell, Especially As A Director, Don't Necessarily Have A Perfect Ending Because, The Older You Get, The More You Appreciate A Good Day Versus A Happy Ending. You Understand That Life Continues On The Next Day; The Reality Of Things Is What Happens Tomorrow.

I'm Very Sensitive To The English Language. I Studied The Dictionary Obsessively When I Was A Kid And Collect Old Dictionaries. Words, I Think, Are Very Powerful And They Convey An Intention.

Different Cocktails For Different Saturday Nights.

I Want To Be The Rock That Floats.

I Still Feel Like I Have A Lot To Prove. My Biggest Burning Question Is 'how Much More Are You Capable Of?'

In General, People Are True To Their Signs.

I Don't Want To Sit Around And Hope Good Things Happen. I Want To Make Them Happen.

It's Never Too Late. Don't Focus On What Was Taken Away. Find Something To Replace It, And Acknowledge The Blessing You Have.

I Can't Think Of Any Issue That Is More Important Than Working To See That No Schoolchild In This World Goes Hungry.

I Am Not A Rodeo Clown, Like, "everything Is Awesome!" I Really Worked Hard On Myself And Things And Struggled To Get To A Good Place, To A Better Place.

I Can Tell When An Actor's Forcing Tears, And It's Tricky Because You Then Have To Film It And Edit In A Certain Way To Skirt Around The Issue.

I Always Like Worlds Where You Could Be In Several Different Time Periods.

I've Approached So Many Things In My Life With Such Intensity That I Want To Approach Motherhood With Dedication And Focus.

Feeding A Child At School Is Such A Simple Thing - But It Works Miracles.

I Just Didn't Understand The American Political System, And I Felt Really Stupid About That.

My Favorite Thing About Being A Mom Is Just What A Better Person It Makes You On A Daily Basis.

I Looooove Cookbooks. I Cook A Lot When I'm Pregnant.

I've Produced And Gotten To Do A Lot Of Optimistic Love Stories, And That Was So Where I Was At For 10 Years In My Life. And Now I Feel Like, Okay, Now I Know How To Do That. I Want To Get Scared Again; I Want To Feel The Way I Felt When I Started My Company, When I Started Producing.

A Thank-you Can Be Just As Meaningful As A Soulful Ten-page Message.

I Never Regret Anything. Because Every Little Detail Of Your Life Is What Made You Into Who You Are In The End.

Whether You're Throwing Up Or Breaking Up, You Want Your Girlfriend Right There! I Don't Trust Women Who Don't Go To Their Girlfriends.

In A World And A Life That Moves So Fast, Photography Just Makes The Sound Go Out And It Makes You Stop And Take A Pause. Photography Calms Me.

It's The Worst When You're Kissing Someone Who's Not A Good Kisser, And You're Trying To Make It Look Good, But You Feel Like You're Just Working On Your Own.

I Would Love To Be A Travel Writer. I'd Be So Stoked.

I Can Cook About Two Things. I Can Boil Hot Water For The Only Pasta I Can Make.

I'm A Total Control Freak And Love To Participate In The Design Of Every Single Aspect Of Life.

The Older You Get, The Few Slumber Parties There Are, And I Hate That. I Liked Slumber Parties. What Happened To Them?

I Try Each Day, Each Month, Each Year To Become A Better And Better Person And To Be Good To The People I Love And Let Them Know How Much I Appreciate Them.

When [my Friend] Had Her Kid, She Was Like, "9:30?! I'm Not Living In Barcelona. I Need Dinner At 6." I Never Got That Until Now. Four Years Ago, When I Met Her, I Thought That Was Extreme. I Was Like, "i Love Barcelona!" Now, I'm So Mad When Someone Suggests An 8 Pm Reservation Because That Means We Won't Eat Until 8:30 Or 9 Pm. Forget It!

Being A Barrymore Didn't Help Me, Other Than Giving Me A Great Sense Of Pride And A Strange Spiritual Sense That I Felt Ok About Having The Passion To Act. It Made Sense Because My Whole Family Had Done It And It Helped Rationalise It For Me.

I'm Glad I Lived Such A Full Life Before I Settled Down Into A Family Because I Got To Enjoy It And Get It Out Of My System.

I No Longer Have The Fear Of Being Alone. It's Cool To Find Out That You Don't Need A Boyfriend To Be Happy.

Fear Of Being Alone

Need A Boyfriend

I Guess I Do Have A Childlike Sense Of Fun, And Although I Still Have My Dark Days, I'm Generally An Optimistic Person. The Way Things Have Gone In My Life, Sure, I Could Have Been A Bitter Person. But I Just Find Bitter People Really Un-fun, You Know? And Who Wants To Be That Person?

I Love Tate Modern; There's Such Great Style And Shopping Here. I Love The Galleries And The Pubs Out On The Street, Just Having Your Pint As The Sun Is Setting.

I Want People To Be Blown Away When I Do What They Don't Expect.

Kissing In The Movies Is A Real Art - Figuring Out Where To Put Your Heads So It Looks Good On Camera. I Have Had Other Co-stars Who Couldn't Work That Out, Which Made It A Lot Harder For Me.

I Believe You Can Be The Person That You Dream Of Being.

I Feel Like I Came Out Of The Womb And Was Punted - There You Go, Out In The World!

I've Always Wanted To Work With Hugh [grant] Because I Loved His Movies.

When You've Been Locked Up In A Mental Institution, People Are Going To Ask Questions. It Was Ok, Because I Didn't Have To Act Perfect All The Time.

I Think The World Offers So Many Wonderful Varieties Of Obstacles, But That Shouldn't Be One For Kids - Is The Worry That 'my Parents Wont Be There.'

My Culinary Skills Are Terrible. I Can't Even Make Toast Taste Good. I Do Make Scrambled Eggs For Myself Sometimes But I Wouldn't Even Inflict That On Anyone Else.

It's Not Just About Acting. I Love Film, I'm A Director Now, I Love Writing, I Love Producing, I Love Having A Company That Makes Films And To Be Prolific And Have A Place To Put All The Ideas That Are Constantly Bubbling Up Inside Of Me And That Don't Let Me Sleep At Night.

I Hate Flatscreens. I Don't Want To See Anything In That Much Pixilation. I Don't Need To See The Pimple On Someone's Face. I Love The World Through Glass. The More Old, Dusty And Tainted That Glass Is, The Prettier And More Impressionistic That Is To Me. I Don't Need To See Everything Perfectly. I Don't Like It.

Producing Is So Exciting Because You Can Enable Things To Happen, Whether It's Like Discovering A Filmmaker Who You're Taking A Chance On, Protecting A Battle And Driving Home At The End Of The Day Just Going, "i'm So Glad I Stayed Late At Work And Fought Hard For That. Had My Passion. Won That Battle.

My Twenties Were About Exploring Love And Being A Wildflower And Trying To Figure Everything Out. Now I'm Not Comfortable Being That Happy Wildflower Anymore, But I Still Don't Feel Like A Woman. I Wonder When That Moment's Going To Hit.

Some Of The Mini-worlds That Filmmakers Have Created Are So Ingrained In My Love Of Culture.

I Loved The World Of Roller Derby Because I Thought It Was Such An Empowering Metaphor, That You Get Out There And Do It. It's Such A Rocker, Athletic, Capable, Cool Exhibitionist Sport; It's About This Great Sort Of Camaraderie.

I Hate Women Who Say They Can Eat Whatever They Want, Because I Don't Relate To That At All. It Isn't Fair! I Absolutely Live For Food.

I Think My Whole Life, Work Has Been A Very Important And Positive Thing For Me. It Never Was Something That Made Me Feel Unhappy Or Disengaged From Life. It Always Makes Me Feel Like I'm Plugged In, In A Really Healthy Way.

I Love Writing, Directing And Photography; If I Could Figure Out A Way To Put The Three Things Together, That's What I Would Love To Do.

I'm A Very Research-, Homework-oriented Person.

I'm Not After Fame And Success And Fortune And Power. It's Mostly That I Want To Have A Good Job And Have Good Friends; That's The Good Stuff In Life.

Congratulations

I Love Inventive Food, But I Want The Classic Dishes To Taste Like How I Remember Them. I Get A Little Bummed Out When There Is Too Much Fancy Stuff Going On And It Doesn't Resemble The Original Dish At All.

I Know Certain Actors Are Totally Screwed Up On Drugs, Yet It Gets Covered Up. Why Wasn't I Excused For 'exhaustion' Or 'the Flu'?

If You're Going To Go Through Hell... I Suggest You Come Back Learning Something.

As I've Gotten Older, I've Really Wanted To Find More Balance And Calm.

I Have Certainly Had My Share Of Long-distance Love Affairs.

Get Yourself Out. Be Brave. Don't Leave Before You're Ready, Because You Should Know That You Tried Everything. So There's A Conviction And A Confidence When You Step Away From Something That May Or May Not Be Conducive To Your Life. I Think If You Run Away Too Quickly, You're Going To Have That "oh God, Did I Try Everything?" Feeling. Try Everything. Make It Work. Do Everything You Can. If It's Not Working, Then Know When The Signal Is And Move On. Change. Try Something Different.

I Love Being Single. It's Great. I Get To Be Who I Am And Do What I Want And Be With The People I Love. I Feel Like I Have Everything And I'm Very Fortunate, And It's Very Rich Fulfilling Time In My Life.

I Never Act My Characters - I Am Them.

I Feel Really Connected To These Young Ladies I Get To Work With; I'm Dancing Around With Them And Playing Music For Them. We Sit Down And Get To Know Each Other So We Have A Shorthand.

I Think A Any Person Who Has A High Profile Job Or Who Travels All The Time Or Who Has A Lot Of Stress Associated With Their Job Can Be Difficult To Be In A Relationship With.

I've Never Dated Anybody Older, Actually. There Are So Many Things I'm Curious About, And I'd Love To Be Able To Say, "teach Me." I Want To Learn From The People Around Me.

Women Shouldn't Be Burdened By What Existed In Their Past, We Should All Learn How To Turn Pain Into Strength.

I Think Happiness Is What Makes You Pretty. Period. Happy People Are Beautiful. They Become Like A Mirror And They Reflect That Happiness.

I Mean, I Come From A Hippie Mentality Where I Just Think To Know Someone, You Need To Look Into Their Eyes. Eyes Are So Important. Until They Start Melon-balling Eyes Out, I Won't Be Able To Get To Know Someone Another Way.

We Can't Take A Step Backwards When We've Already Made So Many Strides Forward. I Was Raised By Gay Men And Women...it's Who I Am, You Cannot Define A Family. There Are Children Out There Who Need These Loving Homes. These Are Rights That Are Fundamental And Must Be Had. And I Will Fight For However Long It Takes; I Don't Want To Live In A World Where Prop 8 Exists!

I Love The Very Exposed, Humorous, Imperfect, Never-trying To-pretend-to-be-perfect Journey That I Have Been On In My Life.

When You Work In Film, You Learn To Appreciate A Distributor. You Can Have This Great Little Film, But If You Don't Have A Distributor, You Are Sitting In Your Living Room With A Great Little Film.

My Life Takes Me All Over The World, And I Know How Hard That Can Be On A Relationship.

I Think Happiness Is A Choice. If You Feel Yourself Being Happy And Can Settle In To The Life Choices You Make, Then It's Great. It's Really, Really Great. I Swear To God, Happiness Is The Best Makeup.

I Wanna Smoke Pot, But I Can't, Cause I'm Too Paranoid.

If You Don't Take Risks, You'll Have A Wasted Soul.

I've Spent A Lot Of Time In My Life Dedicating Myself To Love Or The Pursuit Of Love Or The Understanding Of Love... I’ve Stopped Believing In Happy Endings. I’ve Started Believing In Good Days.

I Like So Many Different Kinds Of Chick Flicks. I Like Rom-coms, I Like Female Friendship Movies.

I Don't Know Anybody's Road Who's Been Paved Perfectly For Them, There Are No Manuals, You Don't Know What Life Has In Store For You.

If I Die Before My Cat, I Want A Little Of My Ashes Put In His Food So I Can Live Inside Him.

I Love Romance. I'm A Sucker For It. I Love It So Much. It's Pathetic.

I'm Okay With The Idea That Slow And Steady Wins The Race.

Oh, I Love Hugging. I Wish I Was An Octopus, So I Could Hug 10 People At A Time!

I Don't Have A Long, Drawn-out Joan Crawford Beauty Routine. I'm Not Like, "yes, I Wake Up And First I Put Ice On My Face." I Do It In A Taxi On My Way To A Meeting. Traveling Is My Makeup Routine. I Do It In A Car Ride, And I'm That Asshole On The Road Who's Doing Her Mascara In The Mirror.

Daisies Are Like Sunshine To The Ground.

I Don't Like Camera Trickery And Editing And Doubles And All Of That.

I Didn't Grow Up In A Traditional Family, And I Never Had A Family Dinner Around The Table, So Whenever I Actually Had A Dinner 'plan,' It Meant A Lot To Me; It Made Me Feel Excited And Safe.

It's My Crusade To Help Women Feel Good About Themselves.

I Don't Think That Life Happens By Sitting Back And Waiting. People Hold Their Cards So Tight To Their Chest. Life Is Short. Tell People You Love Them. What's The Worst That's Going To Happen?

I Was Raised In That Generation Where It Was All 'women Can Have It All!' And I Don't Think You Can. I Think Something Falls Off The Table. The Good Thing Is That The Things That Stay On The Table Become So Much More Important.

Don't Show Your Flaws.

If You're Going To Be Alive And On This Planet, You Have To, Like, Suck The Marrow Out Of Every Day And Get The Most Out Of It.

I Started Finding Hearts In Things - Whether It Was Like, A Tree I Was Passing, A Straw Wrapper On The Ground, I Think The Heart Has One Continuous Line, Which Is Very Powerful.

I Really Wanted A Wonderful, Traditional Home For My Kid.

I Always Leave A Relationship With A Sense Of Hope.

I'm Such An Avid Magazine Reader - Music, Art, Beauty Magazines - And I Found That Food And Restaurants Were Pouring Into Everything I Cared About. Whether It Was The Pop-up Concept, Or Some Mysterious Mini-mall Restaurant, I Got Swept Up In The Sexy Romance Of The Food Movement.

I Love Working With The Actors Eye-to-eye. I Think Something Gets Lost In Translation, Not Only Through A Monitor, But When You Leave The Area Where The Actual Scene Is Taking Place.

When I Was 19, I Picked Up An Old, Tiny, Automatic Yashica Camera And I Just Started Shooting. We Didn't Have Iphones Back Then, We Didn't Even Have Cell Phones. I Loved Having A Camera In My Hand.

I Feel Like Some Of My Baby Fat Is Going Away, And That’s Not Just Physically, It’s Psychologically. I Think That Your Body Is In Tune With Your Mind And Your Spirituality And Your Heart. If Things Are Going Better, I Just Think You Look Better.

I'm Such A Profound Believer That Timing Is Everything; I Would Tattoo That On My Arm.

I Am Fundamentally Happy. Everyone Has Experiences That Makes Them Cynical, Jaded Or Unhappy - You Just Have To Fight Those Things Off. I Have Totally Emotional Days When I Cry And Get Insecure. Pms Weirded Out, Doomed And Tragic. I Mean, I'm Definitely Not Just A Lollipop, Happy In The Wind Girl. I'm Human Just Like Everyone Else, But I Think That It Would Be Tragic To Be On Your Deathbed And Think, 'i Could've I Should've.' That Gets Me Out Of Bed Everyday. I Can't Even Last Like An Hour In Bed In The Morning. I Have To Get Out There And Live.

Celebrity! It's Become The Most Disgusting Word On The Planet. It Makes Me Sick To My Stomach.

I Don't Want To Be Vain Or Fearful, And I Don't Think I'll Do Anything [in Terms Of Plastic Surgery], But If I Want To Do Something, I Will. From My Perspective, There's No Reason To Be Afraid Of Aging, Because If You Age, You're Lucky! The Alternative Is Death.

I Grew Up In A Makeup Chair, To See! The Women Around Me Getting Ready Was So Aspirational, It Is About Mothers And Daughters, A Girl Watching Her Mom At A Vanity Table.

I Still Can't Spell Anything, But I Can Bust Out Two-dollar Words.

My Whole Life, I've Wanted To Feel Comfortable In My Skin. It's The Most Liberating Thing In The World.

My Own Mum Cared About Hollywood, And I Didn't. I Wanted To Act, And I Loved The Creativity Of It, But I Didn't Care For The Lifestyle.

Instead Of Being Insecure And Jealous And Suspicious And Wonder If Every Guy Is Going To Cheat On Me, I Decided To Say, "nope. This Will Be Totally Enough For Somebody One Day." That Was A Real Script Flip And It Changed The Rest Of My Life In Such A Positive Way. So I Feel Like I Want To Teach Stuff Like That To My Girls.

When You Become Very Ill - Raise Your Head. You Will Definitely See The Sunlight.
