Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female Hitchcock or a female Scorsese or a female Spielberg? I don't know. I think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility.

Unless you're the director on the movie, or putting up the money for the movie, you really don't have a lot of control.

Completely committed to adapting 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. This is not a joke. Christian Grey and Ana: potentially great cinematic characters.

It's the rare book that's able to transport you in a way that a movie does.

Many a happiness in life, as many a disaster, can be due to chance, but the peace within us can never be governed by chance.

If thou be industrious to procure wealth, be generous in the disposal of it. Man never is so happy as when he giveth happiness unto another.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Joy comes from places you least expect it. It's usually the simple things, like watching my son play basketball or going through Central Park when the blossoms are blooming.
