My husband is like, "Oh, thank God we didn't have a boy, because there's this train set that I've always wanted, and these Star Wars spaceships . . ." They say, "Don't spoil your kids," but it's one thing spoiling your kids, it's another thing spoiling yourself.

Bringing all 45 members of my crazy family together, and watching them argue is super awesome. It's good to do it just once a year.

I've always been attracted to characters that were interesting to me, and different.

That was the action figure I was playing with. I grew up having this fantasy of being a superhero, being Princess Power.

I just want to make one really good movie a year. And when I die, to know I was honest as an artist.

I thought that being popular in school was just so pathetic. I knew I had a future over and beyond the horizon of that school.

I'm not really easy to live with! There needs to be unlimited patience and unconditional love. Men I've known before loved my independent spirit and were proud of my success, to the point that they'd become jealous of the time I devote to my career.
