I think the best role models for women are people who are fruitfully and confidently themselves, who bring light into the world.
Well, she's so alive, Julia Child. And Margaret is so - is so designed. She's so intent upon making her point. That's the most important thing, is that she win the argument, and there is nothing that stands in the way of that train, you know. But Julia's just alive in front of you.

Hillary Clinton is so smart... People reserve a special venom for her.
I don't know what my image is. I went to France to publicize Marvin's Room, and one really smart young woman journalist said to me, "You know, when I told people I was going to interview Meryl Streep they were so excited...all ze women in my office, they love you so much. But ze men - they are afraid of you."
