Lights became so hot they melted mascara on women's faces in early television.

Ladies be seated, a laugh doesn't cost you a dime.

I have come up the hard way.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I know they call me a crazy lady, but I'm only interested in making movies and having people see them.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.
