I had a great education. From kindergarten to John Dewey High School in Coney Island, I am public-school educated.

I think it is very important that films make people look at what they've forgotten.

Our greatness, our talent has never been the question. It's been a matter of grappling for control over what we do.

A woman who is very secure in herself, what she's about, what she wants to do, who probably figures that she's a prize catch-sooner or later he's going to come around.

A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.

When I went to school, you had to take art, you had to play an instrument. You had to play an instrument. But it's all degraded since then. I do not know what kind of nation we are that is cutting art, music, and gym out of the public-school curriculum.

When you love something it's not a job anymore.
