I believe you can be the person that you dream of being.

[on her favorite movies to make] I try to make movies that I would want,to go see rather than ones I would just want to do as an actor. I want,people to have movies full of romance and hope and empowerment,something they can escape into and feel good about. I love happy,endings.

[on her morning routine] Every morning I stay in bed for ten minutes to,ponder my place in the universe. Then I wash my face and check my,karma.

Kisses, even to the air, are beautiful.

In the end, some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths.

Life is very interesting. . . in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.
