I know how gratifying it is not only to work in film but to be acknowledged by peers; producing 9 to 5 was an opportunity that I valued precisely because it’s so rarely in the hands of women.

When I was at the age when you were supposed to be glamorous if you were a movie star, I wasn't.

I'd like to think that I have integrity.

The people who did you wrong or who didn't quite know how to show up, you forgive them. And forgiving them allows you to forgive yourself too.

Women are rising. And I think that's all the violence and war - it could be the last gasp of the patriarchy, actually.

You must decrease the amount of food you eat and increase the amount of exercise you get. That is all there is to it.

I'm not sure that I would have become a Christian if I had continued to live in Hollywood because the notion wouldn't have occurred to me.
