- Traditionally women are shunned at 40, but I think in some ways these women will be able to break that barrier. Fifty is the new 40; forty is the new 30. Women are looking better. Look at Desperate Housewives. Those women are (mostly) all in their 40s, and it's a very successful show. Maybe the world has finally realized all women aren't 20.
- The Peacemaker was a very big movie with big shots, but I wanted it to feel very visceral, guttural.
- A female director makes a movie, it fails in the box office, she goes to movie jail. A man makes a movie, and a $250 million flop, he gets three more movies.
- I went to movie jail after "Pay It Forward." It was very painful. It was very difficult to get through. It hurt. Did it hurt my life? I don't know. But did I come out of it? Yes.
