I like it when my mother smiles. And I especially like it when I make her smile.

People have often told me that one of their strongest childhood memories is the scent of their grandmother's house. I never knew my grandmothers, but I could always count of the Bookmobile.

I'm writing novels because I found something I love because I tried it. Don't be afraid to shake it up.

When people are filled to the brim with love, they are their most beautiful.

I love actors and I love to create an environment where they feel safe to connect and thrive and try things, to fail and succeed and flourish and fly.

It's the secret to happiness, you know. Only take what you need.

For a woman, love is the highest dream, and if a man promises to build a ladder tall enough to reach it, she believes him, hikes up her skirt, and follows him to the stars.
