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.

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

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

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.
