I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.

It's very difficult to release an X-rated movie.

Our military thought that they couldn't get to Pearl Harbor, that it was too long a journey from Japan to get there, and they proved us wrong.

You have to start at the very bottom and you've got to do every job. I did that so I could understand what everybody does. I didn't become this huge producer overnight. It took many, many years.

Because you can't do anything halfway, you've got to go all the way in anything you do.

Women inevitably have to work a little bit harder to be heard. Hollywood is disgustingly sexist. It's crazy.

I am not one of those actresses who loves acting.

I have tried to bring about better communication between people. I believe that humanitarian photography is like economics. Economy is a kind of sociology, as is documentary photography.

My original idea was to produce and not make records myself.
