People seem to really enjoy laughing at me.

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

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.

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

Growing up in the South, it was very patriarchal. When I applied to Stanford, I was told by a [male] college counselor, "You're never gonna get in, don't bother. They don't want you." I said, "I'm going to try." And I got in! But I wouldn't be the woman I am if I hadn't had that conflict to overcome. It has given me an underdog feeling all my life.

I'm lucky to find a person to share my life, and the best friend I'll ever have.

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.
