I don't know what I would have done so many times in my life if I hadn't had my girlfriends.

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

I've been through really trying experiences personally, and your family is who you turn to.

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

Movies will finally reflect the world we live in, not some weird dinosaur reality.

I was all of these women. I've been a young mom; I've been a divorcée; I've been a single mom. I've been the working mom versus the nonworking mom.

Whether it was making my bed or making a movie, my mother and father never hesitated to say how proud they were of me, and that means so very much to a child.
