taken risk artistic
If I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk, and the risk led to one my greatest artistic and personal experiences.
jobs fun artist
I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.
character fiction action
It really wasn't my thing. It still isn't my thing, the whole science-fiction action thing. I prefer simpler, character-based movies.
mom teacher husband
When I was in nursery school, the teachers asked me, y'know, 'What does your dad do for a living?' So I said 'He helps women get pregnant!' They called my mom and they were like, 'What exactly does your husband do?'
feels
The only place I am recognized all the time is in L.A. and otherwise, it's only about once a day. I feel pretty anonymous.
opportunity thinking people
If you're a person and care about other people - I don't think I have any sort of special understanding or anything, I think any feeling person would experience similar things if given the same opportunities to see the things I've been lucky enough to see and meet the people I've been lucky enough to meet.
stars war changed
'Star Wars' hasn't changed my life at all.
laughing garden-state life-is
If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
sex emotional feelings
We have so much separation between feeling the emotional and physical side of sex.
dream paris
Everyone dreams of living in Paris.
parent loving-you matter
The best part about being friends with your parents is that no matter what you do, they have to keep loving you.
pain three want
Everyone has to find what is right for them, and it is different for everyone. Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs three times a day. That is why all religions have rules about eating. Three times a day, I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain to or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do.
strong stories want
I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don't already exist out there.
hard
I'm pretty hard on myself in general.
