I can't wait until I have my children. I love the idea that they don't have to do something that they have no interest in, that they can do something completely opposite if they want to.
I would love to be a travel writer. I'd be so stoked.
I think some of the funniest and most artistic people I know are the ones who had a hard time at school. They often have humility and artistry. So, as much as I feel bad for kids who have to go through a rough childhood, I believe that if they can turn it around, it's going to make them better people later on.
I find a lot of really hot people to be extremely boring because they haven't had to work at it.
I make movies. I have a passion. Puppies and daisies don't accomplish anything. That's not me at all.
I was raised in unique and trying environments, but they were also amazing platforms for me to have an extraordinary life. Going through hell as a kid made me sensitive to what others in this world go through, too.
When I was a kid, I got really great advice from someone who is so important to me and someone who I respect so much, and they told me, 'Don't do too many endorsements. Don't throw your name on things; think of your longevity.'
I was raised in that generation where it was all 'Women can have it all!' and I don't think you can. I think something falls off the table. The good thing is that the things that stay on the table become so much more important.
I appreciate my journey, but I don't want that for my kid. Not any of it. It has nothing to do with whether I liked my childhood. I really did. But as a parent, that isn't the childhood that I'd provide.
I grew up in a makeup chair. And to see the women around me getting ready was so aspirational. It's about mothers and daughters, a girl watching her mom at a vanity table.
It's embarrassing to go through any rebellious stage in front of people that you love and respect, and yet I'm glad I did.
I'm glad I lived such a full life before I settled down into a family because I got to enjoy it and get it out of my system.
I do everything in this life-or-death way.
I think happiness is what makes you pretty.Collection: Happiness
Nobody is solid and perfect all of the time.Collection: Perfect
I've always loved butterflies, because they remind us that it's never too late to transform ourselves.Collection: Love You
I think happiness is what makes you pretty. Period. Happy people are beautiful. They become like a mirror and they reflect that happiness.Collection: Happiness
I am who I am because of the people who influenced me growing up, and many of them were gay. No one has any right to tell anyone what makes a familyCollection: Growing Up
Happiness is a choice. You have to choose it - and you have to fight for it.Collection: Fighting
When you become very ill - raise your head. You will definitely see the sunlight.Collection: Sunlight
My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.Collection: Acceptance
I don't want to sit around and hope good things happen. I want to make them happen.Collection: Want
I'm not insecure. I've been through way too much f**king sh*t to be insecure. I've got huge balls. But I've been humbled. That makes you grateful for every day you have.Collection: Inspirational
If I die before my cat, I want a little of my ashes put in his food so I can live inside him.Collection: Cat
I believe that everything happens for a reason, but I think it's important to seek out that reason - that's how we learn.Collection: Believe
There are so many pressures that are put upon young women. Whatever we can do to alleviate that and help women feel beautiful about who we are inside, which is the only beauty there truly is, is so nice. Let's get down and dirty. Let's be a real girl.Collection: Beautiful
You can never, never have too many booksCollection: Book
I can cook about two things. I can boil hot water for the only pasta I can make.Collection: Two
I believe you can be the person that you dream of being.Collection: Dream
What's helped me is having really good friends I know I can rely on. Cameron Diaz is one of the greatest friends anyone can ever have. She has so much love to give.Collection: Friendship
You have to fight unhappiness like a dragon with fire and breathe.Collection: Fighting
I feel like some of my baby fat is going away, and that’s not just physically, it’s psychologically. I think that your body is in tune with your mind and your spirituality and your heart. If things are going better, I just think you look better.Collection: Baby
We can't take a step backwards when we've already made so many strides forward. I was raised by gay men and women...it's who I am, you cannot define a family. There are children out there who need these loving homes. These are rights that are fundamental and must be had. And I will fight for however long it takes; I don't want to live in a world where prop 8 exists!Collection: Children
I think its nice when people find love, because I feel like everyone deserves it.Collection: Love
I am fundamentally happy. Everyone has experiences that makes them cynical, jaded or unhappy - you just have to fight those things off. I have totally emotional days when I cry and get insecure. PMS weirded out, doomed and tragic. I mean, I'm definitely not just a lollipop, happy in the wind girl. I'm human just like everyone else, but I think that it would be tragic to be on your deathbed and think, 'I could've I should've.' That gets me out of bed everyday. I can't even last like an hour in bed in the morning. I have to get out there and live.Collection: Girl
The thing that has been weighing on my mind this week is that I wanted to go and save all the little live lobsters in restaurants and throw them back in the ocean. Imagine me being arrested for that.Collection: Ocean
I started finding hearts in things - whether it was like, a tree I was passing, a straw wrapper on the ground, I think the heart has one continuous line, which is very powerful.Collection: Powerful
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.Collection: People
I just didn't understand the American political system, and I felt really stupid about that.Collection: Stupid
I don't cook, I can't cook, and it is really abominable to see me in the kitchen. I order in takeaway food or get my friends to cook because a lot of them are very good.Collection: Order
If you’re 35 and single and it’s a choice, it feels fine. So I didn’t settle with the wrong person yet. Big deal!Collection: Choices
I think I’m moody because I’m a woman. I can ask any man in this room, like women are just inherently like, moody or hormonal people. I don’t know how men deal with it. I praise them.Collection: Men
Indecision is the most unsexy thing on the planet. I don't know if I'm sexy but I think decisiveness is sexy. I also lose trust and faith in them when I realise I'm a bit on my own and that's a very disheartening feeling.Collection: Sexy
I never really had a childhood. I was around adults all the time. My favorite book when I was eight was “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex - But Were Afraid to Ask”. I was not afraid to ask.Collection: Sex
When they [breasts] are huge, you become very self-conscious...I've learned something though, through my years of pondering and pontificating, and that is: men love them, and I love that.Collection: Men
I could never be cynical, not that I think there's anything wrong with cynicism. I think it can be quite funny at times. But I just feel so grateful to be alive.Collection: Grateful
Both of my marriages have taught me the same lesson twice over really harsh: listen to your instincts. Don't be a people pleaser.Collection: Marriage
I was born 10 years old.Collection: Maturity
I grew up in a makeup chair, to see! the women around me getting ready was so aspirational, It is about mothers and daughters, a girl watching her mom at a vanity table.Collection: Mothers Day
