The greatest movies are the ones you want to watch again and again.

I've never been to a class reunion or anything because I'm always afraid of that one - there's going to be some 'Carrie'-like incident.

Women comedy is different than men comedy. Guy comedy is very aggressive, it's about insulting each other, name-calling, and kind of busting each other's chops, and that's not what women's comedy is.

Man up and add a tux to your wardrobe. Just find one you like and get it well-tailored to your own measurements.

The biggest thing I’ve heard for the last four months is, ‘Thanks for ruining my childhood’.

The director is the only person on the set who has seen the film. Your job as a director is to show up every day and know where everything will fit into the film.

When I went to high school, in the late 1970s, disco was in full swing and anyone who was into it dressed the part. I know I did.

Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

There are situations where you can either rise to the occasion or you can feel sorry for yourself. Really that's within your own abilities to make that decision.

The secret of happiness is the determination to be happy always, rather than wait for outer circumstances to make one happy.

We give up and don't try. We don't take sufficient chances or risks. We aren't resilient in the face of failure. We follow the "rules" too much and don't push the envelope.

My advice for other female directors: don't think of your gender as a handicap. Don't think about it at all. Just tell the best story you can, and don't stop until you do.
