In many ways we are all sons and daughters of ancient Greece.

I think our skin clears up and we're nicer when you are in love.

Sometimes if something scares me, I lean right into it . I’m not a brave person— I’m more of a fearless idiot.

On the publicity tour of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding,' I was asked over and over again, if, as the writer, I felt it was a fair depiction of real life to have someone of my er, below average looks, hook up with hottie John Corbett.

I don't card out my screenplays ever. I just have an idea I just sit down and write I don't edit.

I am not anti-man. I am married to a man... I have a father and a brother... I love men. But there is something really lacking when Cake is nominated. How does Julianne Moore win for Best Actress but her film isn't nominated for Best Screenplay? How does Gone Girl become such a critically-acclaimed and box-office hit but its scriptwriter, Gillian Flynn, isn't nominated for Best screenplay. It's disgusting!

I'd been raised by my parents who taught me not to think you're better than you are.
