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.

I don't think any studio - it was a long shot at the time - but I don't think any studio in a million years would make 'Thelma and Louise' right now. But there's so many other kinds of movies they won't make right now.

One of the reasons I wanted to do a show about Nashville in Nashville was because when I lived here, the hardest thing to go out and hear was country music. Country was taking place inside the studio and it was an export.

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

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

I think of feminism as more of a political ideology.

The world will provide you with every imaginable obstacle, but the one most difficult to overcome will be the lack of faith in yourself. Leave it to others to have doubts about you.
