people waiting gas-stations
I'm an assistant storyteller. It's like being a waiter or a gas-station attendant, but I'm waiting on six million people a week, if I'm lucky.
exercise mirrors work-out
A big mirror to exercise in front of is essential.
exercise work-out three
The absolute minimum for effective exercise is three times a week on alternate days for at least half an hour.
sweat work-out littles
Namby-pamby little routines that don't speed up your heartbeat and make you sweat aren't worth your while.
work-out should harder
The harder you work out, the more you should stretch.
work-out distraction
No distractions. Center yourself. This is your time.
hippie mia india
I never was a hippie! I went to India because so many friends like Mia Farrow and the Beatles were going there to discover truth. And so I went and trekked through India by myself, but instead of discovering truth, I wanted to join the Peace Corps.
views america world
I lived in France during the '60s. I was there from the early '60s until 1970, so my view of the '60s is more global. It was a time of tremendous transition, not only for America but for the whole world.

I know how gratifying it is not only to work in film but to be acknowledged by peers; producing '9 to 5' was an opportunity that I valued precisely because it's so rarely in the hands of women.

goodbye father fighting
I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him.
inspiring mothers-day children
Children born to teens have less supportive and stimulating environments, poorer health, lower cognitive development, and worse educational outcomes. Children of teen mothers are at increased risk of being in foster care and becoming teen parents themselves, thereby repeating the cycle.
stars age glamorous
When I was at the age when you were supposed to be glamorous if you were a movie star, I wasn't.
people way young
Our young people are assets to be cultivated and nurtured; let's begin treating them that way.
