I'm just trying to matter and live a good life and make work that means something to somebody.

If something seems frightening or horrible, I should probably do it.

I always say that it's very important not to blame one person. You have to own whatever part of it you're responsible for. It takes a lot of soul-searching. It's important to go through that, because hopefully you won't repeat yourself.

But like Elle Woods, I do not like to be underestimated.

Kids are the best part of my day. I don't wake up to make movies. I wake up to hang out with my family.

My sheets are monogrammed, so is my silverware and pretty much everything else I own. My rule is, if it's not moving -- monogram it!

I'd always ask my grandma, who was so, so smart, why she didn't work, and she would explain that her parents didn't approve of her working after she had children. She didn't feel like she had choices.
