I think the hardest thing is to know what you want, ask for it, and then to stop talking.

I believe great people do things before they are ready.

It likes it when you don’t depend on it. It will reward you every time you don’t act needy. It will chase you if you act like other things (passion, friendship, family, longevity) are more important to you. If your career is a bad boyfriend, it is healthy to remember you can always leave and go sleep with somebody else.

The pressure of 'what are you going to do?' makes everyone feel like they haven't done anything yet.

It's easier to be brave when you're not alone.

What I like about all these giant superhero movies is that they speak to the issues that I'm dealing with - working mother and time management and how to be an interesting, sexual, curious woman in your 40s.

Saying "yes" doesn't mean I don't know how to say no, and saying "please" doesn't mean I am waiting for permission.
