An agent once told me that if I would lose my English accent, I would never stop working in America.

I have many friends who do not believe in luck; they believe in blessings. Likewise, I do not believe in coincidences; I believe in miracles.

The Open Hearts design was inspired by my Mom's advice that only when you keep your heart open can you best give and receive love. My hope is that the design will become a universal symbol of keeping an open heart - open to life's new experiences, open to allow something new and beautiful to come in.

In life, when stuff happens the instinct is to close off your heart. By leaving your heart open, it leaves room for someone else to come in.

When I was growing up, my mother, who had been through a lot of terrible things in life, taught me that when life is tough your instinct is to close your heart. But if you can accept what happened and reach out to someone, there will always be someone less fortunate, or someone that can bring a solution and help your life.

Even though I make those movies, I find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life.
