At one point in my life, I was very involved with social causes. I'm still involved, but now I have a family and it's important to me.

It sounds trite to go after men who are nice but when you've been hurt a lot it becomes appealing.

I'm suspicious of people who talk about their feelings to the whole world

When I'm doing a movie, that's when I relax. As stressful as it can be, as much pressure as it should be, making movies is still the place where I feel the most at ease and I truly enjoy it. That's why I make so many.

Every unwanted animal ends up on my farm: alpacas and horses and dogs and cats and chickens and ducks and parrots and fish and guinea pigs.

I love family films. Of course, as a mother who has to watch so many movies, you really appreciate it when somebody makes a film that is for everybody - family entertainment that's really for the family, where everyone has a good time.

I'm good at working, but I'm very good at playing.
