I went to art and design high school with a lot of people taking fashion. They would get up in the morning, and what they put on meant a lot to them.

Babies don't need fathers, but mothers do. Someone who is taking care of a baby needs to be taken care of.

Bitterness is so ugly.

I don't know what goes on behind my back... I always feel like, if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything.

I love movies to death. I spent my entire youth in front of a TV watching old movies.

Hollywood is the dream factory, and no one dreams about older women.

A lot of my movies were completely destroyed by the censors, who can be pretty arbitrary. They're not completely fair with how they treat one person vs. another.

Sometimes people say oh you did one of my favorite movies and I will ask them what the other one is and it's always something that I totally hate.

If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. Completely blank.

I attended Art & Design High School, and at one point, you had to write about what you wanted to be when you grew up. I wrote that I wanted to be a writer for 'Mad' magazine.

I get offered: 'Here's a girl who's mad at another girl for having a wedding on the same day.' That'll be a big hit, but I don't want to do that.

We can choose not to remember this day, but bones have strong memories. And earth never forgets.

Don’t kill yourself just because you think and feel you are empty. God needs empty vessels to fill!

Character is made of duty and love and sympathy, and, above all, of living and working for others.

In some ways, the challenge of staying political is to stay a dreamer at the same time.

The greatest feeling in the world is to win a major league game. The second-greatest feeling is to lose a major league game.

I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.

poetry ... is another way to be hurled straight into the heart of God.

When on the breath of Autumn's breeze, From pastures dry and brown, Goes floating, like an idle thought, The fair, white thistle-down; O, then what joy to walk at will, Upon the golden harvest-hill!

Integrity: A name is the blueprint of the thing we call character. You ask, What's in a name? I answer, Just about everything you do.

I think that I'm always going to think that it's silly to value certain things that no matter how many people find it really valuable, it's always just going to seem a little silly to me.
