There was a big question as to whether or not different generations have grown up differently.

I rescued a dog. It was a beautiful.

When I first got pregnant, I freaked out. Then I had to remind myself: I'm turning 30.

Tune in to Kids and Family Week is perfect for me.

I'm singing background on one of Blondie's songs on her new album.

My career has always revolved around what I do and don't want my sisters and brothers seeing me doing.

If I'm going to do something a little bit more adult, I'll do it if it's going to be on at a different time slot or if it's going to be something that kids won't be able to get their hands on.

Eventually, everyone said, Why don't you direct? It would save time. And that's how it started.

I hope to do films. Right now I'm just doing projects that are interesting.

I think a lot of the problem is that at 8 o'clock there's nothing on for kids.

I love directing. It's where my heart is, and it's the way my mind works.

I have six sisters, so I assumed I'd have a girl. Learning I was having a boy was really weird.

I'd always done family-friendly stuff. I wanted to do a film where I could show my darker side and make people uncomfortable.

I used to go to school in Manhattan with a bunch of the City Kids.

I didn't get married. I do have a boyfriend. We live together.

I'm calling from my car, I'm sorry, I'm like running around like crazy.

I don't know enough about daytime, I think, to say anything.

In the Emperor's New Clothes, they got a different celebrity to do each voice. They drew up a picture of each character and then each actor wrote their own part.

I'm not a happy-ending person. I want to know what happens once Cinderella rides off with Prince Charming.

This is the first time in my life I've had hair this short. It's always been down to my waist. I can't hide behind my hair any more.

The whole reason Sabrina came about was because we wanted something good for families to watch on TV.

I don't think I'm great at acting. I think I'm great at directing.

Every prop, every shot, every pearl that rolled across the floor was exactly how I wanted it to be.

Kids aren't going to understand single life in New York City.

No matter how bad you want a person, if your hearts are in two different places, you'll have to pass and move on.

If directors, actors and writers have the ability to drop their alpha-male egos, you will always get better work. In terms of my own demands, I actually want fewer lines. If I can lose a line and do it with my face, I'd rather do that.

I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

The Chinese government is quickly losing its ideological legitimacy, maintain its rule with force, but cannot draw strength from the ideology of Marx and Mao.

I have a career, which is important, but my family is the priority. First family, and then career. It's a delicate balance.

It certainly seems as though a great majority of genre is conflict-focused and, not only that, but focused on large physical conflicts.

Search for love, for it is the most important ingredient of life. Without it, you life will echo emptiness. With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning. Even during any hardship, love will shine through.

Ross Perot came and visited Apple several times and visited the Macintosh factory. Ross was a systems thinker.

I think Scotland will become an independent country. I've always believed that. It means that if I'm right on that, there has to be another referendum at some stage. But the timing and circumstances of that will require careful judgment.

Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don't get hit very often.

A typical complaint of married women with children is that their job stress tired them out so that they have little quality emotion and energy left for their children, much less their husbands.

A good TV writer needs all the same tricks a good novelist has.

Manhattan seems pretty developed, you know what I mean? Like, it has peaked in culture.

I have a deal with HBO to develop television, and I am also developing a movie called 'The Abstinence Teacher,' which is based on a book by Tom Perrotta.

I'm a happy guy, but if I'm in a rare dark mood, I won't go out because I don't want to be horrible to people.
