The magic of movie-making is that you get to fulfill your own dreams.

Call waiting was, for me, that was like the best invention ever, because there was four kids in my family, and to get on the phone was impossible.

Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?

I love how, when you're a teenager, you're really opinionated, you're really right, you can't be wrong, and you don't know any better.

What's great about having an audience is they can let you know what they don't think is funny, and you can just cut that out and keep trying.

You just write what you know, and I know what it's like to be a teenager in 1993,, and I'm a woman, so I'm definitely going to write from that point of view.
