judgmental hard
I've worked really, really hard on myself to not be judgmental.
television welcome hard
When I was in my 40s was I simply produced my own movies because no one offered me anything. But certainly after 50 it's hard for a woman, which is why television is such a welcoming thing.
imperialism cannons used
You are being used as cannon fodder for U.S. imperialism.
exercise work-out three
The absolute minimum for effective exercise is three times a week on alternate days for at least half an hour.
work-out should harder
The harder you work out, the more you should stretch.
opportunity hands peers
I know how gratifying it is not only to work in film but to be acknowledged by peers; producing '9 to 5' was an opportunity that I valued precisely because it's so rarely in the hands of women.
goodbye father fighting
I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him.
mother exercise dieting
A mother who is obsessing about being thin and dieting and exercising is not going to be a very good mother.
men use sides
Beware of men who use words that relate pejoratively to females when describing the 'other side.
running office boss
You can run the office without a boss, but you can't run an office without secretaries.
flesh arms vain
I'm vain. My arms are thin, but I'm vain about loose flesh. And so I'm careful that what I wear will show off my best parts, which are my waist and my butt.
men men-and-women left
A lot of things affect women differently than men, and women get left out.
passion thinking expression
I like to be wild in passion and calculated in expression! I'm both. I like to be wild in passion more. But I think the balance is what's essential.
believe emotional people
Who am I? I'm a survivor. I'm a woman with tremendous inner resources and resilience. I care about people. I believe in 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,' and I live by that. I am becoming authentic, and that's important to me. I have surpassed both my parents in terms of emotional stability, happiness and well-being. And I'm a lucky woman. I've deserved my luck.
