Zitat des Tages von Amy Heckerling:
I don't think people know 'Nosfuratu.'
NYU was my comfort zone.
Bitterness is so ugly. I don't want to go there.
I hope they remake 'Look Who's Talking' - then I'd make some money!
The building in the Bronx where I grew up was filled with mostly Holocaust survivors. My two best friends' parents both survived the camps. Everyone in my grandparents' building had tattoos. I'd go shopping with my grandparents, and the butcher, the baker, everybody in the whole neighborhood had tattoos.
I always get hats but never have the nerve to wear them. Hats are a thing that are really stylish, but you have to have the confidence to pull it off.
I didn't go to Hebrew school.
I like being able to tape things and then having them home waiting for you, but just dealing with the Time Warner Cable people will drive you insane.
In Hollywood, whenever you do anything, it seems like there's going to be 30 of them. When I did 'Look Who's Talking,' people went: 'Oh but there's going to be this baby movie and that baby movie.' I can't worry about that. I can only do what I want to do.
When I did 'Fast Times,' I felt very close emotionally to the characters. I liked those characters because they all had to work, so they were dealing with adult problems even though they were very immature, and I could relate to that.
I just wanted to do something about the teenage experience; it's such a wonderful and horrible time of life.
I don't know what goes on behind my back... I always feel like, if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything.
A lot of my movies were completely destroyed by the censors, who can be pretty arbitrary. They're not completely fair with how they treat one person vs. another.
I'm just not happy with Hollywood.
Some women are great, and you wouldn't have been able to get to where you are without them, and others are doing what they can to undermine you.
Any time I wind up in the lane where you can't quickly turn off of it and it's turning into the freeway, I just start screaming until I'm off of it.
You could go out with a camcorder tomorrow and make a movie with virtually no money, but promoting a tiny low-budget movie costs $20 million. And the money they spend on the big movies is astronomical.
Bitterness is so ugly.
Blood probably tastes like salty water, right?
With electronics, they just get smaller and smaller.
If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. Completely blank.
The way things have changed. The pictures in the womb they have now. They're just amazing. They're just like a snapshot of a person.
Body image - what we're supposed to look like - is made so unattainable that all girls are put in this position of feeling inferior. That's a horrible thing.
I get offered: 'Here's a girl who's mad at another girl for having a wedding on the same day.' That'll be a big hit, but I don't want to do that.
Hollywood is the dream factory, and no one dreams about older women.
For my money, the movies of the '70s were just amazing.
I know I mispronounce things constantly, because maybe I read more than I talk, but I don't know the proper way to say a lot of things, even though I know what they are. But then I know I look like a moron.
Over-the-knee socks remind me of the 1920s, silent films, and the stars of the era who wore the rolled-down stockings. They sort of referenced that in 'Cabaret,' when Liza Minnelli was singing 'Mein Herr,' and I love the way she looks in that scene.
I've always tried to figure out what people think of themselves and what they think they're projecting.
When I first got my driver's license, I was hit by a drunk driver. He was coming off of a freeway, and I was hurt pretty badly from somebody driving really fast.
I really live in my own kind of universe.
Everything you try to do in life, of any value, people are going to be saying, 'No, no, no.' You have to have the ability to not see that or hear that.
I'm obsessed with history, especially WWII and the Jews in Europe during the Holocaust.
For me, New York is home because that's where I'm from.
I've always hated the way Hollywood has portrayed accountants. They're always little nerd balls, wimpy, afraid of everything. Growing up with accountants, I don't see them that way.
