In my early days I was a contract player at Universal and I had a wonderful mentor named Monique James, who was head of talent there, and she used to drag me on sets to do parts.

I've come to learn that there is a real difference between men and women. It's genetic.

There's no praise or acknowledgment paid to women who raise the babies.

Studios were just run differently. There really was a head of a studio. There were people who loved their studios. Who worked for their studios and were loaned out to other people and everybody sort of got a piece. Well now there's a handful now.

Well what do you do with a character like Christine Cagney and you tell her she can't have things?

The whole tone now of TV is under 35 and directed toward males.

I think, on the whole, men are much more shallow than women.
