I remember when I used to have actual time to write and now you don't have time and you just do it. I think it explains a lot about television.

More quotes by Callie Khouri
We get the best people we can get and it turns out a lot of them are women. I've said this before If you hire people solely on their merit you wind up hiring a lot of women. I wonder how many other shows even come close to our numbers.

I like writing flawed women, and being one, its something I feel I can write with some veracity and authority.
Callie Khouri
I call myself a feminist, not a feminist filmmaker. If somebody asked me if I had a feminist sensibility it would be pretty hard to deny, but is it the theme of my work? Not necessarily. I'm interested in a lot of things.

Would you have a friend who talks to you the way you talk to yourself?

When people know I wrote 'Thelma and Louise,' they don't want to mess with me.

Chick flick is not a term used to praise a movie. Nobody says 'it's a great chick flick.' It's a way of being derisive. I'm not clear why it's ok to do it.

I think this happens to a lot of people, men and women, where you reach a point in your life and all of a sudden realize that things have changed. You suddenly realize that people are coming up behind you, that maybe somebody might want to replace you for less money.

The world will provide you with every imaginable obstacle, but the one most difficult to overcome will be the lack of faith in yourself. Leave it to others to have doubts about you.

One of the magical things about Nashville is just how many incredibly talented people are here and the way they support each other.
Callie Khouri
I don't think any studio - it was a long shot at the time - but I don't think any studio in a million years would make 'Thelma and Louise' right now. But there's so many other kinds of movies they won't make right now.
Callie Khouri
One of the reasons I wanted to do a show about Nashville in Nashville was because when I lived here, the hardest thing to go out and hear was country music. Country was taking place inside the studio and it was an export.

I think of feminism as more of a political ideology.
Callie Khouri
Women who just don't like each other because the other one is a woman and women don't like each other myth - that's not interesting to me at all. How do you compete in the market place, how you stay relevant after many years of being in the public eye - all of that. To me, that's interesting and that's real.
