Kisses, even to the air, are beautiful.

Kissing - and I mean like yummy smacking kissing - is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do bar none. Better than sex hands down.

There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.

It wasn't my choice to be an open book, but when people found out what my life was like when I was 14 or 15, I didn't deny it. I think the more imperfect you are the more human you are.

I don't want to be stinky poo poo girl, I want to be happy flower child.

Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.

I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.

Whether you're throwing up or breaking up, you want your girlfriend right there! I don't trust women who don't go to their girlfriends.

It's the worst when you're kissing someone who's not a good kisser and you're trying to make it look good, but you feel like you're just working on your own.

God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous, why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.

I've been a vegetarian for years and years. I'm not judgemental about others who aren't I just feel I cannot eat or wear living creatures.

I aspire to be that to be a voice of reason one day.

Oh I would love to be a motivational speaker. I have pulled myself out of a million potholes and I can see the potholes ahead of me. That doesn't mean that I could always do that so perfectly for my own life. I totally fall in potholes.

When you're young you're always wondering when you're actually going to feel like a grownup. And I think you probably fear it in a sense too. There's a danger to feeling like an adult... like this whimsical kid in you is going to die or something. And then all of a sudden one day you kind of feel like an adult and it's really nice.

Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going 'I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.'

I personally battled with my own body image for years. I used to tell myself You can't wear anything sleeveless or strapless. And all of a sudden I was like What if I just didn't send such negative messages to my brain and said wear it and enjoy it? And now I'm more comfortable in clothes than ever.

The stories that I want to tell, especially as a director, don't necessarily have a perfect ending, because the older you get the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day, the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.

Love is the hardest habit to break and the most difficult to satisfy.

I don't like camera trickery and editing and doubles and all of that.

I hate flatscreens. I don't want to see anything in that much pixilation. I don't need to see the pimple on someone's face. I love the world through glass. The more old dusty and tainted, that glass is the prettier and more impressionistic that is to me. I don't need to see everything perfectly. I don't like it.
