memories way painful
I have a good memory for certain things. And a very short memory for painful things - that's my favorite Martha Stewart quote, by the way.
growing-up college feelings
Growing up in the South, it was very patriarchal. When I applied to Stanford, I was told by a [male] college counselor, "You're never gonna get in, don't bother. They don't want you." I said, "I'm going to try." And I got in! But I wouldn't be the woman I am if I hadn't had that conflict to overcome. It has given me an underdog feeling all my life.
fashion actors starting
You know, I used to not understand fashion, a lot of it, but I completely understood being a playwright or a screenwriter and suddenly having an actor say your words and making them come to life. That I can understand. Finally, I'm starting to understand this.
song couple writing
And I think Taylor Swift is just an exemplary young lady. It's kind of interesting to see what a profound songwriter she is. I don't even think anyone has realized, the long term is going to be the bigger revelation. It's incredible how quickly she writes songs. We've hung out a couple times, we live near each other in Nashville.
thinking men needs
Do I need men? I don't think it's about needing men. It's about love.
daughter responsibility opportunity
I have achieved a certain amount of success, and I felt a responsibility to my daughter and to women in this world to create more opportunities for women.
night journey thinking
I think movies are great and I have a great time making them but they're not what keeps you warm at night, or what's ultimately the most important thing in anyone's life journey.
girl littles obsessed
Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.
smart thinking people
Being a Southern person and a blonde, it's not a good combination. Immediately, when people meet you, they think of you as not being smart.
mother children want-something
One hundred percent my mother, who would always say, "If you want something done, do it yourself." She must have said that 100 times to me - as a child, as a young woman, yesterday on the phone.
needs need-love love-everyone
Everybody needs love. Everyone deserves it.
trying accepting easier
When you finally accept that you're a complete dork, your life gets easier. No sense in trying to be cool.
marriage dog husband
I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.
people female might
Exploring female rage on film doesn't frighten me - it might frighten a lot of people in my business, but, gosh, I know a lot about that, from personal experience and friends' experiences.
