There doesn't need to be a God for me.

Working with [Robert] De Niro taught me a lot about being an actor's director.

I've started to really become aware of the world we live in, what's really going on.

I always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren't there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in.

What's going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool, because right now, we're not cool Mom and Dad.

Yeah, but before anything, I think in 6 years somehow I've grown up to have a beautiful home, 2 beautiful stepchildren, a beautiful husband, my family is healthy and happy. I'm financially ok and I do what I love for a living. That's what I think, and I think god, how did I get so lucky.

It is not where you start out in life that counts the most, it is how you choose to face it.
