The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs the final battleground of the American dream where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

If guys don't respect themselves they don't respect other people. That's times and personalities. And all of them are not that way. But it don't take but one or two to screw up the whole crowd.

Hopefully this movie will help people understand that if a child is never given the tools to know how to love others and love and respect themselves this is what happens.

I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women and part of that involves how we present ourselves.

If we have no respect for our viewers then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do?

We don't do drugs drink or use profanity. Instead we instill morals and values in my boys by raising them with a love of God and a love and respect for themselves and all people. I believe they will have a chance.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for people who put themselves on the line.

Somebody who's really comfortable with who she is and doesn't care what other people think. I like women who are really strong and were brought up to be comfortable with themselves and respect themselves.
