I value my health and my happiness. And I've realized exercise can give me both of those things.

Guys warning girls not to fall in love with them is so truly douchey that it should have a higher success rate.

The idea of being a feminist-so many women have come to this idea of it being anti-male and not able to connect with the opposite sex-but what feminism is about is equality and human rights.

I love directing scenes that I'm not in because suddenly I really feel like a filmmaker which is a different thing.

At a brunch potluck, I realize that I do, in fact, hate everybody.
