I love being in the moment. I love my family. I love chocolate. I love baking.

Number one, I absolutely love making chocolate chip cookies. I mean, it's fun. It's exciting. Beyond the fact that I love making them, I love eating them.

The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.

When you're taking care of the customer, you can never do too much. And there is no wrong way... if it comes from the heart.

I've never felt like I was in the cookie business. I've always been in a feel good feeling business. My job is to sell joy. My job is to sell happiness. My job is to sell an experience.

Good enough never is. Set your standards so high that even the flaws are considered excellent.

A cookie store is a bad idea. Besides, the market research reports say America likes crispy cookies, not soft and chewy cookies like you make.

It's never too late - not now, not ever - for you to pursue your passion.

What I wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world that I did best - which I believed then and believe now is the greatest privilege there is. When I did that, success found me.

The greatest failure is not to try. Had I listened to all the people during the course of my life who said, "You can't. You'll fail. It won't work. You don't have...," I wouldn't be here today.

There are people out there who want to say yes. That gave me confidence to keep asking.

Physically it is impossible for a bee to fly, but because it believes it can then it can.

It is a low thing to always want to be understood. Let my innocence take care of itself.

In general it can be said that a nation's art is greatest when it most reflects the character of its people.

I mean, horror films in general put humans in these awful supernatural or horrible situations, but 'Cabin In The Woods' cranks it up a few notches and becomes outrageous and totally bizarre.

Sad when you spend more time trying to stay alive than living.

I've made peace with myself. Good for you. That's the hardest war of all to win. Didn't say I won. Just stopped fighting.

I have no interest in anyone who wants to criticise me, or doesn't like me despite never having met me.

Acting is the business of truth, so that we can see ourselves reflected back and learn.

At the sight of what goes on in the world, the most misanthropic of men must end by being amused, and Heraclitus must die laughing.

Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent
