Studios will make a movie out of Tide (laundry soap) if they think it’ll work. — on the major studios’ focus on franchises and branded properties

Let’s make movies, not deals. Let’s write movies, not scripts. — on the need to streamline the development of movies

I had a really strong goal, and one day I changed it completely, but the change is what made me what I am today. It’s as important to be flexible as it is to be goal oriented.

Hollywood is an artistic medium, it should be leading the way, but we’re not. We’re not reflecting culture strongly enough, we’re lagging behind. Women aren’t going away. I just think we have to understand that it’s not female culture and male culture, it’s culture – women bring something specific, men bring something specific, and films can incorporate and encompass all of it.
