Growing up outside your own country makes you feel that you don't belong when you return, so you feel free to make friends with whomever you like.

A career for me is something like building a bridge. You know, where to put the lifts. You have a plan. I have a blueprint for each film, but not for my life.

Making pizza is a great job. All that kneading the dough - everything to do with cooking is wonderful, sensual.

I can't imagine a society with absolutely no solidarity. For me, it's a nightmare. And I don't want to live in a place like that.

I have a job I'm pretty good at. I am in charge of things. I am on committees. People respect me and take my counsel. I want to be strong and professional, but I resent how hard I have to work to be taken seriously, to receive a fraction of the consideration I might otherwise receive.

To build a great company, which is a CEO's job, sometimes you have to stand up against conventional wisdom.

I love writing for and about women. In my whole career I have.

I strongly believe that you can't win in the marketplace unless you win first in the workplace. If you don't have a winning culture inside, it's hard to compete in the very tough world outside.
