In a world and a life that moves so fast, photography just makes the sound go out and it makes you stop and take a pause. Photography calms me.

I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.

A few years ago, I bought an old red bicycle with the words Free Spirit written across its side - which is exactly what I felt like when I rode it down the street in a tie-dyed dress.

I would love to be a travel writer. I'd be so stoked.

But in some ways, I'm like an old woman - lived it, seen it, done it, been there, have the T-shirt.

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

I don't mind a little Sturm und Drang. When I was doing 'Riding in Cars With Boys,' I wouldn't smile at anybody, because my character, Bev, was angry at the world. I'm the opposite. Inside my head I'd be like, God, I'll explain to you at the end of shooting that I'm not this person.
