We women, when we're searching for a meaning to our lives or for the path of knowledge, always identify with one of four classic archetypes.

I think there are opportunities for women in comedies - how zany is up to them.

Women are their own worst enemies. And guilt is the main weapon of self-torture…Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty and I'll show you a man.
