I don't pretend to be an ordinary housewife.

Any home where there is love constitutes a family and all families should have the same legal rights, including the right to marry and have or adopt children. Why shouldn't gay people be able to live as open and freely as everybody else?

I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit

I do enjoy life, I really do. Especially if I wake up the next day.

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

A strong film director does leave you to your devices. A strong director allows you to be free and you trust that he's there and he will tell you if you've gone too far. A strong director allows you to be much more experimental and take greater chances than a director who isn't secure within himself.

I've come through things that would have felled an ox. That fills me with optimism, not just for myself but for our particular species.
