I think the world offers so many wonderful varieties of obstacles, but that shouldn't be one for kids - is the worry that 'my parents wont be there.'

When I did 'E.T.,' it sort of solidified the only family I know are these film crews. These gypsies. These filmmakers. That was the solidification and the clicking revelations of 'This is what I want to do with my life and this is where I'm going to survive.'

Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen, whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on, protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going, "I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.

I'm just learning who I am and how relationships work and how to make them function. No different from anyone else.

I still feel like I have a lot to prove. My biggest burning question is 'How much more are you capable of?'

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

Women shouldn't be burdened by what existed in their past, we should all learn how to turn pain into strength.
