Never miss an opportunity to just shut up.

I was debating whether to do Legally Blonde, and I saw this interview with Gloria Steinem about how important Goldie Hawn's role in Private Benjamin was for women; by the end of the movie, the character socked her fiancé in the face at the altar because he didn't understand who she'd become through her journey. I was like, "I feel like Gloria Steinem told me to do Legally Blonde. That's how Elle Woods is too!"

I read while the kids play. I can see them from the kitchen window. And I'm a fast reader.

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.

I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said.

I have a history, a long history of being stereotyped as a five-foot-two woman, which is very limiting. I've worked so hard to create characters that have dignity. And I think everybody knows that I have a very pro-woman message in my work - and in my life.

Men rise through the ranks because of potential, but women have to prove themselves - while trying to have children and having no family leave.
