I was really desperate. I don't know if you can remember back that far but when I went to graduate school they didn't want females in graduate school. They were very open about it. They didn't mince their words. But then I got in and I got my degree.

Everyone knows in the industry that when these great roles come up every two years there's a huge number of people up for them. I'm not one of those top five females that can personally finance any film.

Celebrity or no celebrity I think a lot of females deal with the fear of being abducted.

A commitment to sexual equality with males is a commitment to becoming the rich instead of the poor the rapist instead of the raped the murderer instead of the murdered.

The emotional sexual and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says: It's a girl.

On the political front of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions you bring 10 women in then it's 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy the number of chairs can actually increase.

One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.
