I love family. In this movie [Everybody Loves Somebody], my character is a successful OB-GYN and yet she goes back to her teenage years when she's with her parents. Like, that's me.

I love that in this movie [Everybody Loves Somebody], you almost want to go and hang out with this family.

[The main character] is in a forever-growing process. I feel the movie [everybody Loves Somebody] did that very well and not finishing off as "a woman's life ends when she finds the right guy".

People follow my movies for a reason, and that's because I believe in them, and I don't want to just make movies for the sake of making movies.

Our society really needs to take a better look at what we're selling, because I think women being empowered will be as beneficial to men as it is to us.

I feel that the power that storytelling has to change people, to bring them together, to have that cathartic sort of experience, is something that definitely has helped my life be worthwhile and better.

[Everybody Loves Somebody] was a different take on that immigrant sort of life.
