I get crazy in a bookstore. It makes my heart beat hard because I want to buy everything.

There are things in my life that are hard to reconcile, like divorce. Sometimes it is very difficult to make sense of how it could possibly happen. Laying blame is so easy. I don’t have time for hate or negativity in my life. There’s no room for it.

I'm at a point in my life where I could make 20 more movies, but I want to make 20 more movies that matter to me.

It really bothers me when people don't use coasters. Particularly on my table.

One honest voice is louder than a crowd.

Exploring female rage on film doesn't frighten me - it might frighten a lot of people in my business, but, gosh, I know a lot about that, from personal experience and friends' experiences.

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.
