Women are wives and mothers and girlfriends, but not the center of our own stories. No one's the good guy; no one's the bad guy. We all do deplorable things and very honorable things.

I think movies are great and I have a great time making them but they're not what keeps you warm at night, or what's ultimately the most important thing in anyone's life journey.

Everybody needs love. Everyone deserves it.

It's fun chasing boys, especially when you're young, but I think it takes time and life experience to notice the other boys.

Realizing you're not anything special to the kids is always a great sort of reminder that you're just a regular person. A regular embarrassing old mom.

To be courageous , you have to have an army of people holding you.

You can learn a lot about yourself with what youre doing and who youre with on a sunday.
