I try to be a good shiksa wife. I go to Central Synagogue in New York.

I think happiness is a choice. I believe luck is your attitude. It sounds like a really annoying bumper sticker. But there is such a great truth in that. You choose how you want to feel about what happens to you. I could have been a miserable failure. I haven't had anybody looking over me, and I've found my own way through optimistic exploration and fire-burning mistakes. I am a very happy person with an extraordinary life, so I must be doing a lot of things right. I really believe when you peel away the layers, the worlds is a beautiful place filled with beautiful people.

I've never dated anybody older, actually. There are so many things I'm curious about, and I'd love to be able to say, "Teach me." I want to learn from the people around me.

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

I'm certainly not an uptight home owner.

I can cook about two things. I can boil hot water for the only pasta I can make.

Some of the mini-worlds that filmmakers have created are so ingrained in my love of culture.
