I tried to do the commercial thing. But I don't want to keep shoving Twinkies down everyone's throat. People are hungry for something of more substance.

I felt that the biological clock was some myth to keep me from doing what I wanted to do. And so I rebelled against it in the '90s. I thought it was a backlasher, some sort of faulty data. But it's real. I'm glad I woke up before my body was just like 'uh-uh.

As a woman, a lot of stories haven't been told and we've got a lot of catching up to do.

I do believe there's good in all of us, even if it's layered over so thickly.

I haven't gotten stuck with something because I just keep going, and I keep doing different things.

Doors of opportunity don't open, they unlock; it is up to you to turn the knob.

We need art. We've been telling stories since the beginning. As human beings, we need it for our survival.
