I was never trained for anything.

I never said to myself, "I'm going to be the greatest." I just wanted to do my own thing..

Words, however, are things..

Most of us are better when things go better..

Nothing is menial where there is love..

I'm a woman of the '90s..

It doesn't have to be like that but mostly it is..

I always say I make pictures rather than take pictures..

Anything that can be dreamed is true..

Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!.

There's nothing like a great piece of theater - a great performance in a great piece of theater..

I'm a very conceptual writer..

I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97..

I do keep pre-occupied..

I'm a happily declared chocoholic. I keep it everywhere, even my nightstand..

There is time in life for everything..

Now begins a torrent of words and a trickling of sense..

You can't say, "I'm gonna make a hit movie." You're as dead as you could be..

The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed..

There seemed nothing to do but live..

Someone recommended that I read the Bible, and it was then I discovered that I knew nothing about it..
