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've been producing for 13 years. I've made a string of joyful movies with positive messages about comedy, love and romance.

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'd rather be a few pounds heavier and enjoy life than be worried all the time.

I've always wanted to work with Hugh [Grant] because I loved his movies.

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.
