I would love to be bilingual. I think having a second or third language at my bidding would open up the world in amazing ways.

I think having children is the most amazing thing.

I think well-read people - the world is open to them.

I wanted to do Dreamgirls. If they're doing a stage production of Sparkle, I think that would be hot.

I believe the wedding vows are sacred and precious, and it's been one of my goals as a writer to portray the kind of marriages I've seen modeled in my family - my parents and grandparents, who all celebrated fifty-year anniversaries and well-beyond.

I think I definitely got scared by the second or third time a doctor told me I was dying.
