Feminism is about ultimate, limitless reality.

Every woman should eat for the long run so she can manage the short stops of crisis.

Stay curious, keep learning and keep growing. And always strive to be more interested than interesting.

I always carry yeast flakes and bran with me when I travel.

Studios weren't banging on my door to offer me parts... And I thought, well how am I ever going to make movies that speak to my heart and to my values?

I always tried, in the books I wrote, to make it clear: Thin is not the goal. But I was thin. So no matter what I said, the subliminal message was, "You have to look a certain way." And I'm not happy about playing into that.

The most incredible beauty and the most satisfying way of life come from affirming your own uniqueness.
