"I have zero problems when people say, 'God, you look like your mother.' I go, 'Well, great! Thanks!'"

"I'm a hippie at heart. I wear the clothes, and they're the best. And the music is incredible, too."

"Everyday, I tell my husband, 'Maybe we should cash in. I'll make handmade lotion and you can write music and sell it on the Internet.'"

the sweetest moment was when the kids were done and when we finished with the kids. It was just so emotional. And I looked at Abby [Breslin, who plays five-year-old Sarah] and she was crying. I mean it was so difficult. We just hugged forever and I told them I loved them. And it was just... it really made the whole experience that much more special; to know that those kids took something from that experience. It was great. They were so professional and yet, still kids. Abigail [Breslin, who played Bo in Signs (2002)] was so adorable and so good. She cried at the drop of a hat. She was so focused. When she had to do what she had to do, she really worked hard at it. And Spencer [Breslin] was hysterical. And Hayden [Panettiere] is at that age that I remember so well-13-ish where you want to be an adult and want to be taken seriously, but people don't treat you like it, so you overcompensate.

"I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not... Well, I don't run out to see them."

I'm Jewish and this was the first time I experienced real anti-Semitism. Paris was scary...there were synagogues bombed and there was anti-Semitic graffiti all over the place. I was very angry. This is something I am passionate about.
