new-york fall school
Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.
depression crazy insane-person
Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.
exercise hair feminism
There's a reason why forty, fifty, and sixty don't look the way they used to, and it's not because of feminism, or better living through exercise. It's because of hair dye. In the 1950's only 7 percent of American women dyed their hair; today there are parts of Manhattan and Los Angeles where there are no gray-haired women at all.
summer breeze bachelors
Summer bachelors, like summer breezes, are never as cool as they pretend to be.
fighting want lasts
One of the great things about movies is that it's just that short period of time. It's a bubble. The last thing you want to know is that Elizabeth and Darcy had a fight over how to treat the servants!

And don't be frightened: you can always change your mind. I know: I've had four careers and three husbands.

Having been married so many times, I know that one of the few things I am an expert in is falling in love.

I'm very much a believer in knowing what it is that you love doing so you can do a great deal of it.
writing acceptance care
I don't care who you are. When you sit down to write the first page of your screenplay, in your head, you're also writing your Oscar acceptance speech.
uplifting hair dry
So, twice a week, I go to a beauty salon and have my hair blown dry. It’s cheaper by far than psychoanalysis, and much more uplifting.
book reading writing
You get to be a certain age and you start reading stuff about the age you are, and you think, what is wrong with these people who are writing these books? Do they not have necks?
believe feminist abortion
You can't call yourself a feminist if you don't believe in the right to abortion.
