Latinos, Asians, African-Americans, women - we're all trying to find our place in this world of cinema and television and theater. And the great thing with comedy is that most of the time, you could be orange. It doesn't matter, as long you're funny.

I realised that conforming didn't accomplish anything. Do your own thing. As long as you learn that, you're cool.

I've pretty much kicked over every stone. And there's nothing in me that says, "I must create this particular thing."

I think in general, romantic comedies tend to take one person's point of view, but every once in a while you get something that is balanced for two people.

I don't think we spend enough time in silence, just realizing what's floating around in our noggin.

Every single second of every single day... I don't know if I feel like a bad mom, but at the end of the day I'm always plagued with, 'Did I do enough? Should I go in a different direction?'

If you spend enough time with yourself in silence, you'll be surprised what goes through your head.
