I didn't see myself as any advance guard, or feminist.

I'd love to see more women working as directors and producers.

Any woman who wishes to smash into the world of men isn't very feminine.

Today it's almost impossible to do it unless you are an actress or writer with power... I wouldn't hesitate right this minute to hire a talented woman if the subject matter were right.

That's one of the things I resent the most violently. To have to take your own life and give it away to the public, in pieces.

Whereupon, at the tender age of thirteen, I set upon the path of playing nothing but hookers.
