My education was an education by movies.

People who go for humor are wonderful because they do great humor. People who go for wit and end up with humor are people who have made a mistake.

My next film is always shaped by the last one... by the things I feel I didn't get right, or the things I like and want to try to develop further, but it always comes out of the last picture.

Sometimes other people have better ideas.

All my life I've felt like somebody's wife, or somebody's mother or somebody's daughter. Even all the time we were together, I never knew who I was. And that's why I had to go away. And in California, I think I found myself.

I'd like to know what law is it that says that a woman is a better parent, simply by virtue of her sex.

Although I had a few jobs that I didn't like, or quit, or got fired from, I really loved New York from the moment I got here and I never stopped.
