Before I'd written movies I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers - when you've got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people's ability to do that.

I don't know any other lifestyle. I get up in the morning and I really do feel that the world is my oyster and I start that way the same as I would if I were preparing to write a song: put a blank piece of paper up on the piano and you go for it.

I'm going to get up every morning at 6:30 to work out. Then when I've kept with it all week I give myself something I really want like a new handbag or a piece of jewelry I'm coveting.

When I get up in the morning and put on a pink or a green wig I see myself as a piece of animation. It lets me be the person I want to be a person who's not embarrassed to have fun.

I'm not one of those writers I learned about who get up in the morning put a piece of paper in their typewriter machine and start writing. That I've never understood.

In the morning we received some very thin coffee. For lunch we had potato soup with a few pieces of meat in it in the evening we had a very thin meat soup with some potatoes in it.

Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.

Money again has often been a cause of the delusion of the multitudes. Sober nations have all at once become desperate gamblers and risked almost their existence upon the turn of a piece of paper.

I really like Calvin Klein for his classic simplicity. I also think Prabal Gurung designs some great pieces that work well for me. My mom has such great style she's my biggest influence.

I've had to adapt my wardrobe to my various roles both at the office as a mom and for television. When I shop for the season I look for pieces that will suit every facet of my daily life not just one single occasion.
