We have to nurture our young women and understand the beauty and the strength of being a woman.

What you do is you don't allow anyone to dictate who you are.

~ Jada Pinkett Smith

I'm very sensitive about the fact that there's not a lot of good work for women in cinema that also deals with strong characters.

I think that beauty can injure you to death. It can cause an injury that can never be cured. Or it can so traumatise you, your life changes direction.

~ Anne Lamott

Mozart's music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe.

Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel.

My mother is a big believer in being responsible for your own happiness. She always talked about finding joy in small moments and insisted that we stop and take in the beauty of an ordinary day. When I stop the car to make my kids really see a sunset, I hear my mother's voice and smile.
