I love working with the singers. I love just finding them.

I had a healthy appetite [being pregnant]. I got more healthy as time goes on, and they grew. I never let myself go.

I think that's very important for romantic comedies, that they do deal with [modern]issues.

I swear to God, I don't remember anything Gwyneth Paltrow was in. Some people get hot by association. I heard more about her and Brad Pitt and I ever heard about her work.

I have no ego. There is no way you can have a big ego and survive in this [show]business. You can't learn if you think no one else has anything to say that's of value.

My own style influences have to do with where I grew up, in the Bronx, and I still like to wear bangles and big hoops!

When you're younger, you don't realize you have limitations and that you are the one who has to take care of yourself. Nobody else is going to do it for you. And so, with all of that time, maturity and realizations, I'm in a much better place to be the best that I've ever been and to continue growing as a person and as an artist.
