It's my crusade to help women feel good about themselves.

I always leave a relationship with a sense of hope.

I think a breakup can be the beginning of a friendship. That's not me trying to make everything OK - it's me saying, "No, we love each other. Let's not pretend we don't."

If you're going to be alive and on this planet, you have to, like, suck the marrow out of every day and get the most out of it.

The stories that I want to tell, especially as a director, don't necessarily have a perfect ending because, the older you get, the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day; the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.

I love inventive food, but I want the classic dishes to taste like how I remember them. I get a little bummed out when there is too much fancy stuff going on and it doesn't resemble the original dish at all.

If I ever start talking to you about my 'craft', my 'instrument', you have permission to shoot me.
