“From a very young age, I had this idea that if you are very successful in your career, and you're giving all of your attention to that, then your family life... possibly will not flourish as it might.”

“People are always telling me how much they loved 'Empire Records.' We had so much fun making that movie. I was so young - 16 or 17. I still had a tutor!”

“Always the light fixtures I love are Italian, from the '50s and '60s. I'm like, 'What's that? I want it!' And it's always $40,000 vintage Italian.”

“I love to go shopping at Target. They have so much stuff there, you can buy almost anything, it's really amazing.”

“Oh, my God, this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy.”

“Both my fathers are unconventional. They are like unicorns or wizards. They are musicians through and through. The way they think is just different.”

“There is no definition of beauty, but when you can see someone's spirit coming through, something unexplainable, that's beautiful to me.”

“I think it's healthy for couples to be away from each other for short periods.”

“Life excites me-just little, normal, everyday things. Getting out of bed. Getting dressed. Making food. I find it all exciting.”

“Casey Affleck is a really good friend of mine. I know Casey a lot better than I know Ben, even though Ben and I have worked together a lot.”

“I'm a major bath person.”

“I learned that you lean into your family, ask for help, and show compassion.”

“There's nothing like the smell of grilling flesh.”

“I'm friends with all my exes! I love them so much!”

“All my boys make me laugh.”

“I don't think a lot of really good films get seen.”
