The only one who didn't know was George Lucas. We kept it from him, because we wanted to see what his face looked like when it changed expression--and he fooled us even then.

I always felt the Jewish part more. In fact, growing up I felt like a Jew among WASPs. My brother is more decidedly Waspy.

I guess I do carry a bit of male energy. It's like what I always say - two yangs don't make a right.

Image
I got the part [in the Shampoo]. But it was this very unpleasantly rivalry tug.

Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.

Sex was for men. Marriage, like lifeboats, was for women and children.

Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.
