I remember when I used to have actual time to write and now you don't have time and you just do it. I think it explains a lot about television.

If the same energy went into marketing movies to women as they do on the other demographics we might see more of a spike.

Movie studios are owned by giant corporations. They care about money; they dont care about movies.

I think this happens to a lot of people, men and women, where you reach a point in your life and all of a sudden realize that things have changed. You suddenly realize that people are coming up behind you, that maybe somebody might want to replace you for less money.

Women who just don't like each other because the other one is a woman and "women don't like each other" myth - that's not interesting to me at all. How do you compete in the market place, how you stay relevant after many years of being in the public eye - all of that. To me, that's interesting and that's real.

When people know I wrote 'Thelma and Louise,' they don't want to mess with me.

The movie I've watched a million times is 'A Face in the Crowd,' directed by Elia Kazan, starring Andy Griffith and Patricia Neal. I first saw this movie, I guess I was in my early 20s. I'd never heard of it, and somebody told me about it, and I watched it and was just completely jaw-droppingly shocked at how current it was.
