Jami Gertz -
We are so lucky Americans are impressive with what they're willing to give. We get bashed too much. And, so many young people in this country give so much. They're not all gang bangers.

And we had a DJ - my childhood friend from Chicago came to be the DJ at our party out in LA. It was a party, rockin' and rolling, and it was dancing and fun. For me it was different; just to have family with us.
Jami Gertz -
I have three sons, a husband, parents, and I'll fight and get angry, but what is very important that I have found as I've matured, is that I have to move on.

I also think a Hot Mom is someone who can connect with what's current in her kids' world.
Jami Gertz -
Sometimes movies gloss over things, and it was important to me that this was realistic.
Jami Gertz -
