Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies

I'm lucky because I have so many clashing cultural, racial things going on: black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I can float and be part of any community I want.

I would [call myself a feminist], yes, I believe in the unadulterated advancement of women. And we have so far to go still.

I wish for myself as an adult that I cared less what people thought of me, especially people who don't know me.

In my twenties I would be skeptical of a bad haircut, but once you turn thirty it's more about whether he a nice person and does he open the door for me. Once you turn thirty-five, it's more about would he make a good father. And even if you're just liking somebody and digging on someone, I think you can't help but think in those terms.

You can never stop discovering music.

Good rom-coms have some reflection of the way things are, the sign of the times.
