I love independent filmmaking. I don't agree with a lot of it, but that's the point.
When you're nursing and you're working 18-hour days, that's pretty hard
I gained 60 pounds, and I'm proud of it. Why do I need to watch my weight when I'm pregnant? I could eat whatever the hell I want to eat.

If there is one thing I will never have, it is an eating disorder. I won't have girls -- even if it is just one or two who care -- thinking that.

It takes physical courage to indulge in wickedness. The "good" are too cowardly to do it.
