If the standard route for creating a family had worked for me, I wouldn't have met this child. I needed to know her. I needed to be her mother. She is, in every way my daughter.

My New Year's Resolution List usually starts with the desire to lose between ten and three thousand pounds.

I thought I was attractive when I shot 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.' Studio executives and movie reviewers let me know I had a confidence in my looks that was not shared by them.

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

The man may be the head of the household. But the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head whichever way she pleases.

And (cue music swell) motherhood turned out to be the most meaningful thing I've ever done with my life. Really.

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