I think you have to listen to the people who are deeply unhappy. You have to find the source of it and not overreact to the craziness in it.
I'm really interested in the collaborative thing. It's what makes it scary because you never know what it's going to end up like. But you hope. You put yourself in the hands of the best people you can find, and you're completely dependent on the kindness of strangers and their commitment. It's like this mutual delusion.
It's a good thing to imagine yourself doing something you think you can't. I do that every day because, basically, if I had it my way, I'd just stay home and think about what I'm having for supper.
It's amazing how easily people are led to fury and chaos. Unhappy people with guns are not going to make this country great.
It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the paediatrician.
Men should look at the world as if something is wrong when their voices predominate. They should feel it. Hillary Clinton has taken some fire over 40 years of her fight for families and children. How does she do it? That's what I want to know. Where does she get her grit and her grace? Where do any of our female firsts, our pathbreakers, where do they find that strength?
My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.
Obsession is an attractive thing. People who are really, really interested and good at one thing and smart are attractive, if they're men.
People at agencies and studios, including the parent boards, might look around the table at the decision-making level and feel something is wrong if half their participants are not women. Because our tastes are different, what we value is different. Not better, different.
Service is the only thing that's important about love. Everybody is worried about 'losing yourself' - all this narcissism. Duty. We can't stand that idea now either... But duty might be a suit of Armor you put on to fight for your love. The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
The aggregate of everybody's emotion, it's such a powerful thing. You can see it in the Trump rallies, where people - I just know, in their living rooms, would be better people - are driven to the worst possibilities by the bloodlust in a crowd. It just gets ginned up, and they're outside of themselves.
