I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. Tom Hazlett, a good friend who is an esteemed and highly regarded professor of economics at the University of California at Davis, coined the term to describe any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism.

It is the people who scream the loudest about America and Freedom who see to be the most intolerant for a differing point of view.

I had depressing thoughts that the theme, even though I had thought of it, was better than I was as a writer. Henry James or Thomas Mann could easily write it, but not I. 'I'm thinking of writing it from the point of view of someone at the hotel who observes her,' I said, but this did not fill me with much hope. Then my friend, who is not a writer, suggested I try it from the omniscient author's point of view.

The flapper has charm, good looks, good clothes, intellect and a healthy point of view.

Every film is a puzzle really, from an editorial point of view.

Nothing's beautiful from every point of view.
