I'm free of an abusive cult, based on money and power that worships a fictional deity and safely back with the Catholic Church.
Pretty, and you may be talented, but nobody will remember that if you're mean.
We all keep dreaming, and luckily, dreams come true.
It's nice to do something about something that scares you rather than just run from it and hope that someone saves you. I like seeing strong female characters and somebody who doesn't run away screaming when scared, but confronts the monsters.
Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience - in an instant you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it's the most important job in the world.
I really can't deny it, I am who I am. I'm pretty normal. I'm not that smooth type of girl. I run into things, I trip, I spill food. I say stupid things... I really don't have it all together.
Definitely trust yourself. Work hard. Be honest with yourself. And life can be joyful. It is joyful. Just give it your all and it's all going to work out.
You go in thinking you have to do this all by yourself, and what I learned was no, when you hire great people, they do so much for you.
I think now I'm just excited to continue directing and find stories that inspire me and bring those to the screen.
I'm really into my running workout. Running really helps me clear my head and makes me feel good, especially when I'm stressed.
I feel very lucky. I have a husband and baby that I adore. I have a career I really love. When I sit back and reflect, it's, like, wow! I am very grateful.
When I read scripts and when I read books, it's more of an emotional response and I was really drawn to these characters.
I’ve found the man of my dreams. From the moment I met him it just felt like I’d known him forever. I was blown away. He’s the most incredible man. He’s so generous and kind, and he helps so many people, and, um, he makes me laugh like I’ve never laughed, and he’s a great friend.
I never really look back. I just approach life (taking) it one day at a time. I'm just really grateful.
I wasn't very funny or flashy, I was kind of boring.
Every role that you don't get burns you for a while.
I love Renée Zellweger, she can do no wrong in my eyes. I relate to every character she embodies, because she has no pretense. I also love Amy Adams: She's so kind and talented, and whenever I watch her I think, I want to be her friend-I've seen Enchanted many times with my daughter. Meryl Streep, of course. And I love what Cate Blanchett brings to every movie she does.
Definitely being a mom changes your perspective on everything.
I felt so proud to be having a baby and so excited. And I felt closer to other women - to my sisters, to my mom. I felt empowered, like, 'I've given birth. I did it! There's nothing I can't handle.' I've really enjoyed this time that I have taken to be with Suri, as well as the challenges of the first couple of months: feeding and pumping, learning to decipher what each cry means - is she hungry? Is she tired? Does she need a fresh diaper? - and figuring out how to really help her.
I'm just going to say that I met somebody last year, I fell in love, I had my first love, and it was something so incredible and indescribable.
I'm so spoiled - I must have a Starbucks vanilla latte every day.
I think that I'm always open to any kind of project.
I find that usually when I watch something like horror film, I'm constantly thinking no, it's not going to happen.
It's kind of fun being the cute, little one. In fact, I'm finding it hard to grow out of that.
She'll really tell me [what she thinks]. Like today I'm wearing brown suede pants, and she said, 'I don't like your pants.' But then she'll say, `You've got to wear these shoes.' Or 'That's so pretty, Mom. Wear that.' She's got a great eye.
