I can't write at night. For me, I'm programmed to believe that nighttime is for relaxation.

Nah... I mean, I'm already pregnant, so what other kind of shenanigans could I get into?

I'm glad that as a 33-year-old working mother, I can still choose to wear a Hello Kitty T-shirt or stay up late scrolling through the Twitter feed of my junior-high crush.

Couture gowns are like gremlins; you can't expose them to bright light or get them wet.

Los Angeles is often described as the nadir of vapidity, a smog-choked space cradle.

He is the cheese to my macaroni.

Aim at the ground, you'll never miss.

Choice is the mortar that binds together the things that make us who we are.

The bravest are the tenderest. The loving are the daring.

Failure too is a form of death.

I do a good job of staying positive and just moving on.

I think the art of filmmaking is something you learn through actions, by doing it, not by learning theories. And as you do it, your mind starts to change.

The only joy in this hard life is serving others.

Try something new each day. After all, we're given life to find it out. It doesn't last forever.

On my mother's side I'm Polish-Jewish, and on my father's side I'm Scottish puffin.
