Most of the Women's Libbers I knew really didn't want to have a piece of the men's pie. They thought that pie was kind of poisonous, toxic, really full of weapons, poison gases, all kinds of mean junk we didn't even want a slice of.

I didn't write any fiction until I was past thirty.

I was a woman writing at the early moment when small drops of worried resentment and noble rage were secretly, slowly building into the second wave of the women's movement. I didn't know my small-drop presence or usefulness in this accumulation.

What I'm interested in doing in a story is bringing certain different languages, people, events together and then letting the reader make what he wants of it.

I drank beer, and I had a career year.

Election' made zero money at the box office, but it started my career.

Honestly, I always told my coaches my whole career - we'll practice two-minute drills in practice, like, once a week and everything - I'm just like, 'Those are my favorite time of football.' I'm out there in total control, just getting everything lined up, getting everybody on the same page, and obviously, usually it's pass after pass after pass.

I've done many ads because that's my new career. It's an inspiring extension for my mind.
