I try to make movies that I would want to go see rather than ones I would just want to do as an actor. I want people to have movies full of romance and hope and empowerment, something they can escape into and feel good about. I love happy endings.

Feeding a child at school is such a simple thing - but it works miracles.

You know you're putting a good thing out into the universe when you put on glitter.

Any acting roles will be few and far between until my kids are older and by then, who knows what I'll want to do?

I'm a real stay-at-home mom. I'm really hands-on. Everything else became secondary.

I always leave a relationship with a sense of hope.

Happiness is a choice. You have to choose it - and you have to fight for it.
