Characters in fiction are conceived from within, and they have, accordingly, their own interior life; they are individuals every time.

Eudora Welty

There are few films where you have women really driving the plot.

Geoffrey S. Fletcher

My major contribution to the format was to suggest that I be able to step out of the plot and speak directly to the audience, and then be able to go right back into the action. That was an original idea of mine; I know it was because I originally stole it from Thornton Wilder's play Our Town.
