You Have To Be Smart Enough Not

I Had Lunch The Other Day With My Niece, Emma, And She Said, 'you're So Smart, Aunt Julia.' And I Wanted To Say, 'i'm Not Smart - I'm 41! You're 17!'

The Babies Are Amazing ... They Begin Each Day All Warm And Sleepy, Smelling Of Promise.

I Don't Get Angry Very Often. I Lose My Temper Rarely. And When I Do, There's Always A Legitimate Cause. Normally I Have A Great Lightness Of Being. I Take Things In A Very Happy, Amused Way.

I've Always Been An Environmentalist, But My Life Changed The Day I Had Children. I Realized That I Wasn't Doing Enough To Protect The Planet. People Need Nature, And Of Course I Want My Children To Have The Best Possible Opportunity In Life. I Also Realized How Important It Was For Me To Raise Them To Be Conscientious People That Are Aware Of Their Impact On The Earth.

I Am Very Fulfilled In My Home Life, And What Films Do For Me Is To Create An Ironclad Structure That, In My Life As A Mom, Does Not Exist. It Is A Shapeless Blob Of Happy Chaos.
