I just think everything is a learning experience and every moment that you have that actually feels good inside of your heart is an absolute blessing and a gift.
Girls want to be with guys who have a sense of humor-it makes them far more attractive to us.
I know what the intimidation level of high school is. You're on a hamster wheel, running, running, running, trying so hard to fit in. It's all about how you deal with what you're given, feeling OK with being the odd man out before you're finally successful.
I really wanted a wonderful, traditional home for my kid.
As a kid I got to like hang out with Stephen King. That was like the highlight of my life. Cause I think he's the raddest human being ever.
I understand there are inevitable things that we have to go through: heartbreak, family problems. I don't feel like some Quixotic idiot who says, 'We don't have to feel pain.' No! Let's feel it, let's make it work for ourselves. But I want us all to be able to get past it.
I still feel like I have a lot to prove. My biggest burning question is 'How much more are you capable of?'
I still can't spell anything, but I can bust out two-dollar words.
No matter what the genre, I want to see me and my friends. I want to see reality. I want to see what we're really like. I loved Bridesmaids. I thought it was the most honest portrayal of female friendship in such a long time.
I know certain actors are totally screwed up on drugs, yet it gets covered up. Why wasn't I excused for 'exhaustion' or 'the flu'?
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.
A lot of my business is about protecting creativity.
I've been producing for 13 years. I've made a string of joyful movies with positive messages about comedy, love and romance.
You have to fight unhappiness like a dragon with fire and breathe.
