I have no desire to be dominated. Honestly I don't. And yet I find myself becoming angry when I'm not.

You can't call yourself a feminist if you don't believe in the right to abortion.

You do get to a certain point in life where you have to realistically, I think, understand that the days are getting shorter, and you can't put things off thinking you'll get to them someday. If you really want to do them, you better do them. There are simply too many people getting sick, and sooner or later you will. So I'm very much a believer in knowing what it is that you love doing so you can do a great deal of it.

The one thing I would like to get across about my whole feeling regarding high school is how I was when I was fifteen. Gawky. Always a hem hanging down, or strap loose, or a pimple on my chin. I never knew what to do with my hair. I was a mess. And I still carry that fifteen-year-old girl around now. A piece of me still believes I'm the girl nobody dances with.

It's always a shock to the people who run studios when a movie that is for women is a hit. They have an infinite capacity to be shocked.

That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie.

If Sigmund Freud had watched Phil Donahue he would never have wondered what women want.
