I had written the script for Juno and apparently Steven Spielberg had read it. I can't just call him Steven, that's weird... Mr. Spielberg had read it and he liked it. He asked me if I would write this television show for him and I said, 'Yeah!'

It doesn't matter if they're in front of the camera or behind the camera. I know women who are producers who are surviving on nothing but juice and almonds.

For me, writing essays, prose and fiction is a great way to be self-indulgent.

Couture gowns are like gremlins; you can't expose them to bright light or get them wet.

I don't know why, but I've always been a sucker for roller coasters in movies.

As a kid, I spent every summer bent over a stack of books, obsessively writing detailed reports on each one.

The attitude toward women in this industry is nauseating. There are all sorts of porcine executives who are uncomfortable with a woman doing anything subversive. They want the movie about the beautiful girl who trips and falls, the adorable klutz.
