I Love Roller Coasters That Make My Stomach Drop. One Ride In Las Vegas, The Big Shot, Straps You Into A Row Of Seats And Catapults You Into The Air From The Top Of The Stratosphere Tower - Then Plummets Back Down. I Ride It Over And Over; It's Exhilarating.

The People I Grew Up Around Who I Really Liked Were Quick On The Draw. It Always Just Wowed Me. And My Mum Would Make Weird Funny Comments. I Can See In Myself Her Self-deprecating, Hippie Humour. I Can't Take Myself Too Seriously.

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 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.

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 Don't Want To Be Stinky Poo Poo Girl, I Want To Be Happy Flower Child.

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.

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

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.

I Am A Very Happy Person With An Extraordinary Life, So I Must Be Doing A Lot Of Things Right. I Really Believe When You Peel Away The Layers, The Worlds Is A Beautiful Place Filled With Beautiful People.

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.

A Lot Of My Business Is About Protecting Creativity.

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

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 Always Get Nervous Before A Kissing Scene. I Make Sure I Always Brush My Teeth And Eat Lots Of Fruit And Nice Foods Rather Than Garlic. I'm Terribly Self Conscious.

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

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."

I Want To Be The Rock That Floats.

One Thing That Got Me Started On It Was The Jean Jacket. It's An Item That Could Make You Believe You're In The 50s Or Punk-rock 70s Or Grunge 90s. I Was Really Focused On Timelessness, And I Think Music Is Very Timeless.

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

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 Think That We All Have To Have That Rite Of Passage Of Dating The Tortured Artist Who Seems Cooler Than We Think We Are; We Aspire To Be Like Them, And We're Excited That Somebody Is Turning Us On To New Music Or A New Lifestyle.

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

You've Just Got To Do The Best That You Can.

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.

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.

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.

We're All Going Through So Much Hard, Wonderful, Amazing . . . It's Blessings; It's Lessons; It's Hardship; It's Life. I Guess, I Don't Know What The Definition Of Life Is. I Now Know The Meaning Of My Life, Because Of My Daughters, But Mine Is One Little Tiny Speck In The Universe. It's Nice To Not Be Pretending Everything Is Perfect All The Time, Because It Isn't, But I Do Love Happiness And Joy And Optimism.

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

I Understand There Are Inevitable Things That We Have To Go Through: Heartbreak, Family Problems. I Don't Feel Like Some Quixotic Idiot Who Says, 'we Don't Have To Feel Pain.' No! Let's Feel It, Let's Make It Work For Ourselves. But I Want Us All To Be Able To Get Past It.

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.

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.

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

You Can't Treat A Romantic Relationship The Same Way You Do A Business One, By Being Bossy. It Takes Tender, Compromising, Loving Tactics. And That's Such A Different Approach.

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.'

God Made A Very Obvious Choice When He Made Me Voluptuous; Why Would I Go Against What He Decided For Me? My Limbs Work, So I'm Not Going To Complain About The Way My Body Is Shaped.

My Life Choices Are Not Supposed To Be The Gateway To Somebody Else's. That's My Journey.

Just When You Think You're Hitting Your Stride Someone Will Shout "cut" And Ask You To Move Your Head To The Left. It's Such An Awkward Process. You Try To Make It Passionate But It Ends Up Being Mechanical.

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 Don't Think That I Have Any Musical Talent.

I Try To Be A Good Shiksa Wife. I Go To Central Synagogue In New York.

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.

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.

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 You're Young, You're Always Wondering When You're Actually Going To Feel Like A Grownup. And I Think You Probably Fear It, In A Sense, Too. There's A Danger To Feeling Like An Adult... Like This Whimsical Kid In You Is Going To Die Or Something. And Then All Of A Sudden, One Day You Kind Of Feel Like An Adult And It's Really Nice.

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 Aspire To Be That, To Be A Voice Of Reason One Day.

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.

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.

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 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 Really Wanted A Wonderful, Traditional Home For My Kid.

My Mother Used To Dress Rather Risqué When I Was A Kid, And That Sort Of Shocked Me. I Always Thought Moms Were Supposed To Wear Cardigans And Flats, But She Was In Leather Bracelets And Minidresses. In Hindsight, I Thought It Was Pretty Cool, But I'm Probably More Conservative Because Of It.

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

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

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.

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

When I Did 'e.t.,' It Sort Of Solidified The Only Family I Know Are These Film Crews. These Gypsies. These Filmmakers. That Was The Solidification And The Clicking Revelations Of 'this Is What I Want To Do With My Life And This Is Where I'm Going To Survive.'

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.

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

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.

I Make Movies. I Have A Passion. Puppies And Daisies Don't Accomplish Anything. That's Not Me At All.

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

I Have No Regrets In My Life Whatsoever.

Have No Regrets

I Love Romantic Comedies That Are Set In A World. It's Not Just A Boy And A Girl Falling In Love, Out Of Love, And Back In Love.

Falling In Love

From My Perspective, There's No Reason To Be Afraid Of Aging, Because If You Age, You're Lucky! The Alternative Is Death.

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 Got Flossie Dog, And She Is Great. She And I Are Still In Love, 14 Years. That's A Relationship That Works.

I Swear To God; Happiness Is The Best Makeup.

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.

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.
