Growing up I was as big a tomboy as you can get.

My mother would take groups of students to different countries and always brought us along, so by the time I was 10, I had been to Russia, China, Nicaragua and several other countries.

My parents divorced when I was born, and my mother is a political science professor, like a feminist Mormon, which is sort of an oxymoron.

I remember hitting Sarah Michelle Gellar with a right hook during my first week on the job. It was awful. They usually pair actors with stunt doubles to avoid things like that.

Go big or go home. Because it's true. What do you have to lose?

There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.

Sometimes it feels like you're losing, but even when you're losing, you're getting something.

I don't let guys do hickeys. That's like a dog marking his territory or something.

When you get to your mid-20s, you start to feel responsibilities for the things that you do and the people around you. It's a cool age.

It's still a pretty sexist world out there and someone's got to stand up and say something.

Rhymes with push-koo; I always say it sounds like a breakfast cereal.

A well-read woman is a dangerous creature.

The Highest Holy Heavens!

If you are going to be a doubter, I don't need your negative energy.

I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it.

Being half Jewish, we grew up with Christmas trees but had Jewish ornaments.

Save in the office and affairs of love.

I'm inconsistent because I'm human.

I'll go to do a shoot, I'll spend five or six hours at the beach with people, and when people think I'm all out of film, then they really relax and I get my good pictures.

About 40 percent of my time is spent on social issues and building new organizations, more for the benefit of the climate or health issues.

The dead have need of fairy tales too.
