There's definitely stories I would like to tell; I'd like to see more films focusing on women's lives.

When we think about the past, we think, 'It must have been so boring.' It's actually not.

I think women today are really struggling with these dual roles: How do you have a full-time career and be ambitious and still take care of your family?

I enjoyed L.A. because it was nice to be in the sunshine and live in a house with proper wardrobes. I loved the space.

I like not having to worry about paying the bills, but I have to watch myself because I don't come from money.

I came to New York in 1986. My father didn't think it was a good idea. I didn't know how I found it, but I went to Hunter College. I had no money and I couldn't speak English.

I didn't make good money on 'Nightmare' until part three. I eventually got some nice merchandising checks.

The real literary editors have mostly been fired. Those that remain are all 'bottom line' editors; everything depends on the money.
